作词 : Jørn Lande

作曲 : Tony Iommi/Mike Exeter

Hey, stranger, you're running to the wall

Black shadow rises, looming over your eyes

But you hold on to save the light that shines your hole

Your prison cell, it's just a spell to make you fall

In the waters that you held, the siren of the heart

Tyrants of the dawning can steal your soul

From the shatter of the quake, inner blackness you unfurl

To burn it with your fire, screaming, you'll restore your world alone

Above danger, losing ground as time reloads

Man and machine with the soul between, it flies with the heavy load

The liar will shout and drag you straight to hell

Wedlocked in a game that kills, fighting one-man wars

On the waters of your realm, dancing serpents in the dark

Diving without warning, aiming for the heart

As you're laying out your bait, you pull the trigger as this world

You know you never needed no one to face the world alone

Devil spawn to your deathblow

Evil will burn

In the waters of your well, life is on the rise

Children to the morning where no one feels

Running wired from the wait, revolution giving birth

They never needed anyone to change the world alone
