1: You've seen life through distorted eyes, you know you had to learn
2: The people who have crippled you, you want to see them burn

The execution of your mind, you really had to turn
The gates of life are closed on you, and there's just no return
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-7-9-----9-------|-7-9-----9-------|-5-----7-----9---|---12--9-9-------| |-5-7-7-7-7---7-7-|-5-7-7-7-7---7-7-|-3-----5-----7---|---10--7-7-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
The race is run, the book is read, the end begins to show
You're wishing that the hand of doom could take your mind away
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-7-9-----9-------|-7-9-----9-------|-5-----7-----9---|---12--9-9-------| |-5-7-7-7-7---7-7-|-5-7-7-7-7---7-7-|-3-----5-----7---|---10--7-7-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
The truth is out, the lies are old, but you don't want to know
And you don't care if you don't see again the light of day

And that's it for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I'm sorry I didn't tab the electric version of
the chorus; I don't have it. :( I promise to tab it as soon as I find it.
