Fire In The Sky

Ozzy Osbourne · No Rest For the Wicked

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble exposing the frightened child

Fire in the sky,
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky,
Won't you help me now my castles are burning

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence,
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers,
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames,
Yeah

Fire in the sky,
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky,
Won't you help me now my castles are burning
