Bark at the Moon

Ozzy Osbourne

℗ 1983 Epic Records EPC 25739

Ozzy Osbourne • 1983 • Bark at the Moon

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 and 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
