Black Sabbath - Sign Of The Southern Cross / Heaven And Hell

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
Fade away, fade away
Vanish into smoke
Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball

Oh, it's the sign, feels like the time!

On a small world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a searchin' sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never seen around

And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross
It's the Sign of the Southern Cross, all right!
Sail away today, oh

Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball

There's a big black shape looking up at me
He says "I know where you ought to be"
He says come with me and I'll give you ... desire!
But first you've got to burn burn burn burn in fire!

Then a little white shape look down at me
Saying "I know where you ought to be"
"Come with me, cause I know just what to do"
But I say go away, I'm gonna burn in hell with all of you!
With every last one of you!
See you there
Don't be late
I'll take you there.

Love the reprise of Heaven and Hell, starting at 2:46. The "dialogue of the shapes" lyrics used to make me uncomfortable, until I freed myself from the dogmatic prison.
