Song Lyrics #23 Bark At The Moon

 

This week I'm looking at Bark at the Moon by Ozzy. Yes, this is a last hurrah for Halloween kinda post lol. I didn't manage to fit this in beforehand. This song is a trip and I love the riff- one of my favorite rock tunes from the decade of decadence, and the lyrics are of course perfect for this time of year!           

So what do you think?   

Lyrics

Screams break the silence 
Waking from the dead of night 
Vengeance is boiling 
He's returned to kill the light 
Then when he's found who he's looking for 
Listen in awe and you'll hear him 

Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment 
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he is risen 
Miracles would have to save 
Those that the beast is looking for 
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

Hey, bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him along with shame 
And thought his timeless soul had gone 
In empty burning Hell unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong 

So wrong yeah baby

Howling in shadows 
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven 
Spewing from the mouth of hell

Those that the beast is looking for 
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Yeah bark at the moon 
Yeah bark at the moon 
Bark at the moon

  1. My memories of Ozzy from back in the day are sort of crazy. He really was the Prince of Darkness

  7. When I was a kid I was afraid of Ozzy. Looking back, now he makes me laugh. This is a great song though.

  8. As many times as I’ve heard this song, I’ve never paid attention to the lyrics until now. Perfect way to wrap up the Halloween posts.

  9. I have to say, I prefer The Song to the Moon, by Dvorak. If you are not familiar, this video ha the subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHM3zMBQxTQ
