The 1996 DEP Sessions

In a dream I had a final vision How come you just want to be my friend How come? Will you ever have to justify The hidden meaning in your time again I'm gone, gone just like the past Because I'm gone And you won't be the last cos I'll be strong Now can you hear my voice Because I'm gone In an ordinary complication I come to my realisation How come? Well you came to me with velvet skin How come I did let you in? How come? I'm gone, gone just like the past Because I'm gone And you won't be the last cos I'll be strong Now can you hear my voice Because I'm gone Still it breaks me down inside As I walk through the fire I am a stronger man Nothing will change me at all, you lie In a dream I had a final vision How come you just want to be my friend How come? I'm gone, gone just like the past Because I'm gone And you won't be the last cos I'll be strong Now can you hear my voice Because I'm gone I'm gone, gone just like the past Because I'm gone And you won't be the last cos I'll be strong Now can you hear my voice Because I'm gone

Somewhere in time forgotten I know I lost the way So many times there fading I thought I heard you say Although I've never met you But I do know you well Lay your head upon my pillow And only time will tell From another world, from another world And I will never go back To waste another day I wish I was the last one To live a life that way And I have walked through madness I burn with fear inside Leave a candle in the window And god knows I have tried From another world, from another world Maybe someone's trying to make my life away Maybe I just want to live cos I'm not crazy And I will move another mountain, maybe If there's another lifetime Where I don't have to hide Leave a candle in the window Cos god knows I have tried From another world, from another world From another world, from another world From another world From another world I wish I was the last one I burn with fear inside From another world

Too many promises Too many reasons I recall Too many people I see the writing on the wall I must have got you wrong What kind of world do you live in? I've waited for too long I know where you've been Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Am I a sacrifice Am I a fool to blind to see I'm not a vagabond I know what is, is meant to be There is a better way There comes a time I do believe There is a price to pay And I know where you've been Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Standing in a waterfall Try to ease your shame Deep inside this tragedy I try to kill my pain Don't you tell me Standing in a waterfall Try to ease your shame Deep inside this tragedy I try to kill my pain Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me you don't know Don't you tell me Don't you tell me you don't know

There is a place on the wrong side of town It's a curse whenever I go And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head Let me down, I want you to know Now I don't know ya, but you are my jailer I've sentenced by the jury below Now it scares me to death And I just cannot let this cage they put over me Don't drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound You can turn out the daylight I'll be gone in the morning You can try to burn down the sun I gotta make you believe That I did not deceive No, I did not hurt anyone You can make me slave You can make me a number But I'm not the one who lied Cos they threw away the key And it just cannot be In this cage that they put over me Don't drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound I'm in a state of madness I panic in my head They're gonna pull me under No matter what I said I taste the fear inside me I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin' It's gonna take me down Taste the fear inside me I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin' Take me down I hear the voices on the ground I go to sleep without a sound Drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound River I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound Don't drag the river

Someday you will have to choose It doesn't really matter, I'll be fine There will be just love and sorrow It doesn't really matter, I'll be fine Living with this indecision I will keep on breathing, I'll be fine I was here to let you in Now I will let you go, I'll be fine I will turn and walk away Someday you will see, I'll be fine There's a rose in England's glory You paint perfect picture story You're living in a masquerade Don't try and shake my life I saw you in the papers I got you in my head And now I'm getting better You know it can't be bad They're going to make a movie About the life I led And I will see you later Cos I've been feeling sad, I'll be fine Fine, fine You don't need to understand Cos you don't even know me, I'll be fine So open up the simple life The universe is waiting, I'll be fine There's a rose in England's glory You paint perfect picture story You're living in a masquerade Don't try and shake my life I saw you in the papers I got you in my head And now I'm getting better You know it can't be bad They're going to make a movie About the life I led And I will see you later Cos I've been feeling sad, I'll be fine Fine, fine

There's some people that you believe in And people want you for more And I won't deceive you Just let me receive the same thing We're both looking for Time to face the real life Time to open the door Time to make decisions It's time to even the score Time to kill the sadness Time just can't be denied Time to make you wonder? And time to cast it aside Inside the garden of plenty Is a price that we'll all have to pay There is a race with no colour Now I want you to hear what I say Won't you bring me some water And I will give you my blood But you won't give me your time Now have I been misunderstood? Time to catch your spirit Time to find who you love Time to find a new beginning Time will fall from above Time outside of the mirror Time to break away Cos time is the forgiver And time will show you the way Oh yes it will Time! You know I have nothing planned I want you to understand Now won't you just let it be? Cos time heals your memory Time is the healer Time, time, time is the healer Time to catch the real life Time is the healer

Between the colour of this moment I fail to stop the hands of time I lay to rest where am I going I've come this far to change my mind I know there is no lie to break I know that I have made mistakes Beneath the symbol of my conscience I stand alone for what is right My body heals that once was broken I make amends to cure my sight And I will never look away And I will face another day I'm not the same man I'll never break that vow again I'm past the pain Cos I'm not the same man Surrounded by a code of silence There comes a time to turn the page And I won't give my soul to no one Now is the time to come of age I'm not the same man I'll never break that vow again I'm past the pain Cos I'm not the same man I'm not the same man I'll never break that vow again I'm past the pain Cos I'm not the same man I'm not the same man I'll never break that vow again I'm past the pain Cos I'm not the same man I'm not the same man I'll never break that vow again I'm past the pain Cos I'm not the same man Same man, same man I'm not the same I'm not the same

Another cold night in the silence I never thought you would be leaving I only wanted to try and make you see Is there a chance to tell me why And where do you begin to try? The battle is over Mistaken again? It falls through me It falls through me It falls through me Now in the darkness of my cold room This time I live alone forever I only wanted to make you understand Too late, the gold has turned to rust You wait, your love lies in the dust I gave you my spirit Now this is the end It falls through me It falls through me It falls through me It falls through me It falls through me It falls through me This battle is over Mistaken again? I gave you my spirit Now this is the end It falls through me Is these a chance to tell me why It falls through me Line-up:Tony Iommi - guitarsGlenn Hughes - bass & vocalsJimmy Copley - drumsNeil Murray - bass on 2 tracksDon Airey and Geoff Nichols - keyboardsOriginally, former Judas Priest drummer Dave Holland recorded the drums, but due to his conviction for sexual assault, Jimmy Copley re-recorded all the drums in 2004.Thanks to sh_wildchild for sending these lyrics.
