The Ultimate Sin
Ozzy Osbourne
℗ 1986 Epic Records EPC 26404
Osbourne streamlines his approach to keep up with the emerging trend toward slick, radio-ready metal, but The Ultimate Sin is largely unsuccessful, as the performances are flat and uninspired and the material lacks much variety. There are some good moments, including the single "Shot in the Dark," but overall, The Ultimate Sin is unable to push past the level of mediocrity. — Steve Huey. |

The Ultimate Sin
(Daisley — Osbourne — Williams)
Overkill enough is enough There's nothing left of me to devour You've had your fill I'm all I have left What can stop your hunger for power 'Cos you took advantage of things that I said Now the feelings is dead And that's the ultimate sin And that's the ultimate sin Any way I look it at now The doors are closed and cannot be opened Bury your anger and bury your dead Or you'll be left with nothing and no one There's no point in screaming 'cos you won't be heard Now the tables have turned And that's the ultimate sin And that's the ultimate sin And that's the ultimate sin And that's the ultimate sin I warned you then and I'm warning you now If you mess with me you're playing with fire Winds of change that are fanning the flames Will carry you to your funeral pyre It's pulling you down It's your final descent It's too late to repent When it's the ultimate sin When it's the ultimate sin When it's the ultimate sin When it's the ultimate sin
Secret Loser
(Daisley — Osbourne — Williams)
Trapped in a lonely body I'm losing control Can't show my emotion and I'm losing my soul Could it be that I'm obsessed with feeding my disease I couldn't make it know the hidden things that no one sees Loser — I'm a secret loser Loser — I'm a secret loser Fighting a losing battle pretending to win Repenting to holy unknowns pretending to sin All I do is hide the wounds where blood just won't conceal Couldn't ever take my soul 'cos it isn't there to steal Loser — I'm a secret loser Loser — I'm a secret loser Though I'm the loser there is no winner There's nothing left to win And hidden reasons now in deletion Are lost in sin So need my warning the time is dawning I'll tell you here's the twist The truth is lying Below the surface I don't exist Loser — I'm a secret loser Loser — I'm a secret loser Seeing is not believing it don't mean a thing Although it appears to be that the loser is king I can understand that what you see you think is real But underneath the surface is a wound that cannot heal Loser — I'm a secret loser Loser — I'm a secret loser
Never Know Why
(Daisley — Lee — Osbourne)
If we're offensive and pose to a threat You fear what we represent is a mess You've missed on the message that says it all And you'll never know why Oh no you'll never know why We rock It's just a feeling how we excite You cannot rule everybody in sight But you condemn don't understand And you'll never know why Oh no you'll never know why We rock, rock, rock We rock, rock, rock We rock, rock, rock You'll never know why We rock I leave you cold and in disgust Don't try to tame me you'll eat my dust I know that you know not what to do That's what you'll never know why Oh no you'll never know why We rock, rock, rock We rock, rock, rock We rock, rock, rock You'll never know why We rock
Thank God for the Bomb
(Daisley — Lee — Osbourne)
Like moths in a flame Is man never gonna change Time's seen untold aggression And infliction of pain If that's one only thing that's stopping war Than thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Nuke ya, nuke ya War is just another game Tailor mind for the insane But make a threat of their annihilation And nobody wants to play If that's the only thing to keep the peace Than thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Nuke ya, nuke ya Today was tomorrow yesterday Its funny how time can slip away The face of doomsday clock Has launched a thousand wars As we near the final hour Time is the only foe we have When war is obsolete I'll thank God for the war's defeat But any talk about Hell freezing over Is all said with tongue in cheek Until the day the war drums beat no more Than thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Nuke ya, nuke ya
Never
(Daisley — Lee — Osbourne)
It is the voice of your laughter that echoes in vain In the vessel of your sorrow and pain It is the beat of heart that you hear in your mind Something's missing but you cannot explain You've searched your soul for feeling Over and over now over and over now There's no use in dreaming Over and over now over and over now It is chain that you're dragging That was once your relief That's like everything that's born to die And the birth of a doubt that was once your belief Is drowning in the tears that you cry It's never too late to cry It's never too late for goodbye It's never too late to cry You know you were born to die If the messiah is coming Will he be too late To reconcile our tears without hate And the memory of freedom That imprisons our heart As we're greeted by the cold hand of fate. It's never too late to cry It's never too late for goodbye It's never too late to cry You know you were born to die
Killer of Giants
(Daisley — Lee — Osbourne)
If none of us believe in war Then can you tell me what the weapon's for Listen to me everyone If the button is pushed There'll be nowhere to run Giants sleeping Giants winning wars within their dreams Till they wake when it's too late And in God's name blaspheme Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Marches of protest not stopping the war Or the killer of giants Or the killer of giants Mother nature People state your case without its worth Your seas run dry your sleepless eyes Are turning red alert Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Rising so proudly it has nowhere to fall With the killer of giants With the killer of giants Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Marches of protest not stopping the war Or the killer of giants Or the killer of giants Killer of giants Killer of giants
Fool Like You
(Daisley — Osbourne — Williams)
I hear your breathing though you're so far away Can you just go where you're going to I couldn't give a damn or two about a fool like you That's true Are just too cool no you're just perfectly cold And what goes around still comes around I think it's all summed up and down in a fool like you That's true Today is just another day You hold your ticket into nowhere It's up to you if you will stay And turn your day into nightmare You think you know it think you know it all But you don't even have a clue And control is still in view a fool like you That's true Is there a reason for the way that you are Or does it just comes naturally To have an idiosyncrasy and be a fool like you That's true You're hearing you what to hear Misunderstanding all you see An attitude in all of us Is it really you and me He's biding residing deep within the crowd And hand out he'll pull you down You've been found guilty committed every crime But still they say you must go free Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you That's true By a fool like you By a fool like you Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you That's true
Shot in the Dark
(Daisley — Osbourne — Williams)
Out on the street I'm stalking the night I can hear my heavy breathing Paid for the kill but it doesn't seem right Something there I can't believe in Voices are calling from inside my head I can hear them, I can hear them Vanishing memories of thing that were said They can't try to hurt me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Shot in the dark Always creeping upon you Taught by the powers that preach over me I can hear their empty reason I wouldn't listen, I learnt how to fight I opened my mind to treason But just like a wounded and when it's too late They'll remember, they'll surrender Never a care for the people who hate Underestimate me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Shot in the dark Not a thing that you can do Shot in the dark Always creeping upon you But just like a wounded and when it's too late They'll remember, they'll surrender Never a care for the people who hate Underestimate me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Shot in the dark Not a thing that you can do Shot in the dark Always creeping upon you
