The Sign Of The Southern Cross
Black Sabbath
If there isn't light where 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
Oh 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 doesn't answer when it hears a searchin' sound
Then the beast is free to wonder, but never 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 sound
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure
Give a knife to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sighs
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 sound
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 live 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
Play on!
