Buried Alive is the tenth and final track off of Black Sabbath's sixteenth album Dehumanizer.
Lyrics
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 When you thought you were free You didn't need a reason No reason to survive 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 congregation Everybody's got to get in line and We never justify The choir sings a never-ending lie When you thought you were free You didn't need a reason No reason to survive As the big door closes And you waiting for the nail 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
