[English]

作词 : Butler, Iommi, Osbourne, Ward

You've been searching for your mind, not knowing where to start

Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart

You think you know, but you're never quite sure

Your soul is sick, and you won't find a cure, yeah

Your world was made for you by someone above

But you chose evil ways instead of love

You made me master of the world where you exist

The soul I took from you wasn't even missed, yeah

Lord of this world

Evil Possessor

Lord of this world

He's your confessor now!

You think you're innocent, that you've nothing to fear

You say you don't know me, but isn't it clear?

You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride

But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah
