Tony Iommi - Time Is Mine

[featuring Philip Anselmo]

Lift me up
Lift me up
Put me above jail
But put me below skies, below crimson skies

Undress me from these rags
Shake me and watch me glow
Foundations cracking under the wisdom of our steps

Lift me up and shake me low
Shake and glow and life will be saved

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war
Wisdom and war

Braided veins
Can turn to gold
Smoke and stone
Will claim the skies and open all whose eyes are blind
The tempter is behind thee, and cowers through the throes The sands that drank from blood, to rivers that flow beyond

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war

Deplete the eyes
Walk through the skies
In the memories of old
We'll blow it all away

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war
