Текст песни The Sign of the Southern Cross - Live at Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR, 4/22/1982 - Black Sabbath

If there isn't light when 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
Yeah, yeah

Fade away, fade away
Vanish into smoke
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Oh!

It's the sign!

Feels like the time! Oh!
Ooh

On a small world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, oh
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls

If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around

And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Alright!
Sail away, oh!
To the sign!
And you'll fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it anymore

Ooh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh-ho-ho, yeah

Well there's a big black shape lookin' up at me, yeah
He said "I know where you ought to be"
He said "Come with me and I'll give you desire
But first you got to burn, burn, burn, burn in fire!"
Oh!

Yeah, oh
Ooh
Oh my, oh my, oh my
Yeah
Yeah

Then a little white shape looked out at me
He said "Heaven is where you ought to be"
He said "Come with me 'cause I know just what to do"
But I said, go away, I'm gonna burn in hell with all of you!
With every last one of you!
Yes, I'll see you down there!
Alright! Yeah, ooh

Remember
On and on, on and on it!
On and on, on and on it!
Alright!
On and on, on and on it!
Now one last big one
On and on, on and on it!
Yeah!
Alright!

Alright!
Yeah

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes, steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell
Oh, hell

They tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
When you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's heaven and hell
Oh, oh, oh

Fool, Fool
You've got to bleed for the dancer
Fool, fool
Look for the answer, yeah
Fool, fool, oh, yeah!
Yeah
