 | Turn up the night
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another
It's a story told so get a good hold

A simple equation, that's the relation but that's gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know
So let it all go
Turn up the night
Turn up the night
Turn up the night - it feels so right
Nighttime sorrow taken like a pain
Black will not become a white, it's all the same
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement like a fire needs a spark to burn
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold
Turn up the night
Turn up the night
Turn up the night - it feels so right
Gotta turn up the night
Turn up the night
Turn up the night - it feels so right
Turn up the night
Turn up the night
Turn up the night
Turn up the night if it feels right
Turn off the light if it feels right
Shut up the light, turn up the night
Voodoo
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new 'cause I'm through
Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool but that's cool, it's all right
Call me the devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name 'cause it's voodoo
Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn
So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes 'cause he's voodoo
Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new 'cause I'm through
Voodoo
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you'll learn
Voodoo
The sign of the southern cross
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
If there isn't light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel
Fade away, fade away, vanish into small
Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball
It's the sign, feels like the time
On a small world, west of wonder, somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer when the summer falls
If an echo darts in dancer when it hears a certain song
Then the beast is free to wander but never is seen around
And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
All right, sail away to the sign
From the book the word is spoken, whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones, they will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure, given life to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons, sail the ship of signs
And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away, I can't accept it anymore
On a real world, west of wonder, somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer when the summer falls
From the book the word is spoken, whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones, they will make us strong
It's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Don't live for pleasure, make life your treasure, fade away
Eight miles high, about to fall and no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time, the sign of the southern cross

The mob rules
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
Close the city and tell the people
That something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward
To take a bite from the wall
You've nothing to say, they're breaking away
If you listen to fools - the mob rules, the mob rules
Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded
The end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers
And lose your hold of the flame
It's over, it's done, the end is begun
If you listen to fools - the mob rules
You've nothing to say, they're breaking away
If you listen to fools...
Break the circle and stop the movement
The wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling
And take you right back around
You're all fools - the mob rules
Country girl
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a neither world just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire with a special name made to snatch your soul away
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side all to break it into bits
Her smile was a winter song, a sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air
In dreams I think of you, I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down, she brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a neither world just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire with a special name made to snatch your soul away
Don't sail away on a crimson tide, don't leave your heart on the other side
Her eyes are an endless flame, desire with a special name
Don't ever fall in love, don't give your heart away
No, never, never fall in love with a country girl
Slipping away
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster
Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone
Turn the page, time to start another story
Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along
No reason to stay when I'm slipping away
Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle
'Round and 'round you go, you're a start without an end
Start a new life from the city of the gypsies
Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow
Slipping away, slipping away
Nobody to pay, look out! 'Cause I'm slipping away
Rocking the glass, I won't leave you my reflection
A future without a past, no more road to take me back
Come if you will, just don't question my direction
Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun
Slipping away, slipping away
Got nobody to pay so I'm just slipping away
No more running in a circle, it's time to move along
'Round, 'round, 'round we go, a start without an end
So I'm slipping away, slipping away
Falling off the edge of the world
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
I think about closing the door and lately I think of it more
I'm living well out of my time, I feel like I'm losing my mind
I should be at the table 'round, a servant of the crown
The keeper of the sign to sparkle and to shine
Never, no, never again
Listen to me and believe what I say if you can
Never, this is the end
You know, I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man
Help me, tell me I'm sane
I feel a change in the Earth, in the wind and the rain
Save me, take me away
You know, I've seen some creatures from hell and I've heard what they say
I've got to be strong
Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world
Think you're safe but you're wrong
We are falling off the edge of the world
Look out! There's danger, nowhere to run
It seems like desperate measures but sometimes it's got to be done
Over, it's over at last
There's a message inside as we build a new life from the past
We're falling off the edge of the world
Yes, the edge of the world
It's the end of the world
Over and over
(Iommi/Butler/Dio)
Sometimes I feel like I'm dying at dawn
And sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over and over and over again
Too many flames with too much to burn
And life's only made of paper
Oh, how I need to be free of this pain
But it goes over and over and over and over again
Sometimes I cry for the lost and alone
And for their dreams that will all be ashes
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over again
