Buried Alive Lyrics - Dehumanizer - Black Sabbath

Once upon a nightmare 

Once upon a time 

You're running from temptation 

You got lost 

And found that you don't 

Belong to anybody 

You're all the same 

Just another number 

Cross it out 

Whenever you don't behave 

Someone got the doctor 

He knows what to do 

Throw some bones and mumble 

The devil's inside of you 

It might be contagious 

It might change the plan 

Get back in your tiny boxes 

Even if you can't 

We say you can 

Join the congregation 

Everybody's got to get in line and 

We never justify 

The choir sings a never-ending lie 

Pre-chorus: 

When you thought you were free 

You didn't need a reason 

No reason to survive 

Chorus: 

As the big door closes 

And you waiting for the nail 

Somebody tell the world 

You're buried alive 

Once upon a nightmare 

Once upon a time 

You're running from tomorrow 

You got lost 

And found that another 

Day has turned to ashes 

Taken by the wind 

Frozen seeds of sorrow 

Never to begin 

Join the celebration 

And everybody's got to get in line and 

We never justify 

The choir sings a never-ending lie 

Pre-chorus: 

When you thought you were free 

You did not need a reason 

No reason to survive 

Chorus: 

As the big door closes 

And you waiting for the mail 

Somebody tell the world 

You're buried alive 

One more nightmare 

Just one more time 

Join the congregation 

Everybody get in line 

Celebration 

The choir sings a lie 

As you call 

The hammer falls 

And no one hears you cry 

I'm buried alive
