Spiral Architect
In 1973, the heavy metal band Black Sabbath released their fifth album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath; one of the songs on this excellent album is Spiral Architect. This song, to me, contains a deep significance because (oddly enough) it's somewhat autobiographical. The first time I heard Spiral Architect (back in '82) it resonated deeply within. Everytime I hear this song anew that "something" continues to resonate. Historically speaking, it's interesting to learn the concept/lyrics of Spiral Architect came to Geezer Butler (the bass guitarist of Black Sabbath) in a dream. You'll find that the lyrics to Spiral Architect are enigmatic, surrealistic, and filled with paradox. I hope you enjoy them and that Spiral Architect makes you reflect & even dream a little, too. Better yet, buy Sabbath Bloody Sabbath listen to Spiral Architect, E mail me and let me know what you think.
Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of god sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see
My world and know that it is good
You know that I should
Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertakers
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disguise
Of all the tings I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should
Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I built, you pay
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good
You know that I should
