"Megalomania" by Black Sabbath

 

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame

The silent symphonies were playing their game

My body echoed to the dreams of my soul

It started something that I could not control

Where can I run to now? The joke is on me

No sympathizing God, it's insanity, yeah

 

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

 

Obsessed with fantasy obsessed with my schemes

I mixed reality with pseudo-god dreams

The ghost of violence was something I'd seen

I sold my soul to be the human obscene

How could this poison be the dream of my soul?

How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?

 

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

 

Well I feel something's taken me I don't know where

It's like a trip inside a separate mind

The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream

Is telling me to leave it all behind

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Got to get to happiness

From the depths of sorrow

How I lied, went to hide

How I tried to get away from you now

Am I right if I fight?

That I might just get away from you now

Sting me!

 

Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return

It's giving me the chance of saving my soul

Pictures of demigod are fading away

I'm going backwards but I'm in control

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Getting back to sanity, providence of sorrow

Was it wise to disguise

How I tried to get away from you now

Is there a way that I can pay

Or is it true I have to stay with you now?

 

How I lied, went to hide

How I tried to get away from you now

Am I right if I fight?

That I might just get away from you now

Suck me!

 

I'm really digging schizophrenia the best of the earth

I chased my soul in the fires of hell

Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine

I set the trap, but it was me who fell

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Now I've found my happiness, from the depths of sorrow

No more lies, I got wise

I despise the way I worshipped you, yeah

Now I'm free, can't you see

And now instead I won't be led by you now

Free!
