Bark at the Moon
Ozzy Osbourne
℗ 1983 Epic Records EPC 25739
Osbourne finds a permanent replacement for Rhoads in Jake E. Lee, a more standard metal guitarist without Rhoads' neo-classical compositional ability or stylistic flair. Still, Osbourne and his band turn in a competent, workmanlike set of heavy metal featuring the crunching title track, whose video (featuring Osbourne dressed as a werewolf) became popular on MTV. Unfortunately, substance abuse problems would help prevent Osbourne from releasing another record up to the standards of Bark at the Moon for nearly the rest of the decade. — Steve Huey. |

Bark at the Moon
(Osbourne)
Screams break the silence Waking from the dead of night Vengence is boiling He's returned to kill the light Then when he's found who he's looking for Listen in awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon Years spent in torment Buried in a nameless Grave Now he has risen Miracles would have to save Those that this beast is looking for Listen in awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon They cursed and buried him Along with shame And thought his timeless soul had gone In empty burning hell-unholy one But now he's returned to prove them wrong (oh no) Howling in shadows. Living in a lunar spell He finds his heaven. Spewing from the mouth of hell And when he finds who he's looking for Listen on awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon.
You're No Different
How many times can you put me down Till in your heart you realize If you choose to criticize You choose your enemies Everything that I say and do In your eyes is always wrong Tell me where do I belong In a sick society You're no different to me You're no different No different to me Look at yourself instead o' looking at me With accusation in your eyes Do you want me crucified For my profanity Concealing your crimes behind a Grandeur or lies Tell me where do I begin If you think you're without sin The first to cast the stone Living my life in a way That I choose You say I should apologize Is that envy in your eyes Reflecting jealousy Tell me the truth and I'll admit To my guilt If you'll try to understand But is that blood that's on your hand From your democracy
Now You See It (Now You Don't)
Overbearing woman makin' it so hard for me Now you've laid it down for all to see Can I ask a question, d'ya think you can take a blow This is why I always come and go Now you see it, now you don't Careful of words that get caught in your throat Face the music, take it like a man Givin' it to me anyway you can Everybody's feeling everything you've got to feel I've got something that you can conceal Now you see it Now you don't Now you see it Now you don't Give me central heating hope that I can pay the bill Makin' me forget my fear of hell Must be luck in odd numbers now you face me Upside down I'm so far up I'm afraid to come back down
Rock & Roll Rebel
They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious They hide behind the laws they make for all us. The Ministry of truth that deals with pretense The ministry of peace that sits of defense I'm washing my hands of what they're tryin' to do I'm breaking the roles and its for me and for you. I'm just a rock'n'roll rebel I'll tell you no lies They think I warship the devil They only see through his eyes I'm just a rock'n'roll rebel They live their lives in fear and insecurity And all you do is pay for their prosperity The ministry of fear that won't let you live The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive Do what you will to try and make me conform But I'll make you wish that you had never been born Cause I'm a rock'n'roll rebel I'll do as I please I'm a rock'n'roll rebel I'm as free as the breeze I'm just a rock'n'roll rebel They'll try playin with your heart They know it rules your head They only fell what bigotry feels They won't fool me again (oh no) God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious Is it because that they manifest the incubus The ministry of war that got caught in the draught The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed When it's all boiled down and the days at an end I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend Cause I'm rock'n'roll rebel I'll tell you no lies They say I worship the devil Why don't they open their eyes… I'm just etc.
Centre of Eternity
There's no present there's no future I don't even know about the past It's all timeless and never ending To take it in it's all too vast It goes - forever and ever You thought you knew but you never There goes Tomorrow Journey to the center of eternity Journey to the center of eternity The time is coming but also going And it's leaving never to return Maybe forever it could be heaven But if it's hell then you can watch me burn It goes - forever and ever You thought you knew but you never There goes Tomorrow I got to travel forever It's all within my mind And endless path to endeavor But forever is a long time There's no secrets and no corruption In the center of infinity There's no limits in non-existence And no beginning to my destiny It goes - forever and ever You thought you knew but you never There goes Tomorrow
Slow Down
(Osbourne)
I'll never bother keeping up with you Burning the candle at both ends it's true You know the writing's on the wall Why do you ride to take a fall Slow down you're moving way too fast (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down you know you'll never last (You're seeking that which can't be found) Slow down your haste is making waste (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down and join the human race (You're seeking that which can't be found) I tried to tell you time and time again You know you'll have to play the consequence Now you're obsessed with such a pace Now slow and steady wins the race Slow down you're moving way too fast (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down you know you'll never last (You're seeking that which can't be found) Slow down your haste is making waste (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down and join the human race (You're seeking that which can't be found) You seem to run around and round in vain You're like the dog that tries to catch his tail Tell me just what you're running from One day you're here and the next you're gone Slow down you're moving way too fast (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down you know you'll never last (You're seeking that which can't be found) Slow down your haste is making waste (You feet don't ever tough the ground) Slow down and join the human race (You're seeking that which can't be found)
Waiting for Darkness
(Osbourne)
Waiting for darkness Doesn't anybody see Deafened by silence Doesn't anybody hear. (I'm waiting darkness) Playing with fire But they're screaming When they're burned Out of the sunlight Hasn't anybody learned. I know what they find Is in their mind It's what they want to see Spare me from the light Here comes the night And here I'll stay Waiting for darkness Promise me rebirth And then you tear me from the womb Give me my freedom And then you lock me in a tomb I'm waiting for darkness You gotta believe, you gotta believe it's true I'm waiting for darkness I just can't conceive why darkness is overdue Who know the answers Is it friend or is it foe Don't ask me questions There are things you shouldn't know
