Ozzy seems like a very nice guy---I 'd love to meet him !.................I'd be willing to wager...that his funeral showings, will be larger than the pope himself......I've actually felt the goosebumps from his music......and yano.....all that mention of the devil.....you should acctually "read" the lyrics to "war pigs"...they're actually quite God glorifying. "oh lord yea!" I think he...and not unlike many before /after him.....enjoy "shocking" the christians.Having a desire to shed a better "Light" on the matter I wanted to supply some other lyric snippets to Mr. Osbourne's "glorifying" music for your review... From"Denial" You are my only daughter, I guess I made you twice You look inside my other, he'll give you bad advice I will tell you I'm OK, but deep inside I'm afraid I don't drink holy water, I'm not a son of Christ I ain't no black messiah, and I don't load my dice You can tell me you're all right, but why you so afraid? You're in denial, you never will believe it's you Denial, you always hide behind the truth You'll never believe it, you never believe it's you I don't think I'm amazing. In fact I'm quite insane To live inside my bucket, with all my plastic chains People tell me every time, I look at the wron all right From N.I.B. Now I have you with me under my power Our love grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes you'll see who I am My name is Lucifer please take my hand Follow me now and you will not regret Leaving the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine Forever with me 'till the end of time Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way I'm going to feel I'm going to feel I'm going to feel Now I have you with me under my power Our love grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes you'll see who I am My name is Lucifer please take my hand Oh yeah, and the ever "glorifying" War Pigs, which I've included Ozzy's original lyrics. Walpurgis (Walpurgis is the original name of this song - and it had totally different lyrics back then, but the same music. The only place where this version of the song is (legally) available is on the Ozzy "Ozzman Cometh" Greatest Hits CD.) Witches gather at black masses Bodies burning in red ashes On the hill the church in ruin Is the scene of evil doings It's a place for all bad sinners Watch them eating dead rats' innards I guess it's the same whereever you may go Oh Lord yeah Carry banners which denounce the lord See me rocking in my grave See them anoint my head with dead rat's blood See them stick the stake through me Oh Don't hold me back cause I've just gotta go They've got a hold of my soul now Lords got my brain instinct with blood obscene Look in my eyes I'm there enough Yeah On the scene a priest appears Sinners falling at his knees Satan sends out funeral pyre Casts the priest into the fire It's the place for all bad sinners Watch them eating dead rats' innards I guess it's the same whereever you may go Oh lord yeah So how is this disgusting lyric considered "God glorifying"???

We as Christains should read the word of GOd, and be able to disern from this kind of Junk and the Real word of God. Just because a song says God in it does not make it Christain or Good at all. SOme people worship satan as thier God, and if your not worshiping Jesus CHrist as your lord and savoir, then you are. Ozzy is a Nice guy, but being nice, and being Christian are two totally differnt things. We as Christains must not fall into the trap of even hearing his music, that kind of musis is not worthy of hearing. WE must disern and honor God. Use your mind and think wisely. Only a Fool would fall for the Evil things of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even listen to Ozzy but I don't make snap judgements about him just cause of the way he looks..until you people actually get to know him IN PERSON, don't be calling him a "Satanist" just cause of some dumb tv program you saw about him or w/e....

Really? Have you ever heard of a musical artist who writes his own lyrics write something that he didn't come up with through personal experience? What about "Slim Shady"?

But then the devil doesn't come in a black coat with a pitchfork and a spade tail either. He comes in whatever shape or form we find most attractive. Hey, the devil's a "nice guy" after all.

I many times use other people's experiences in my writings. I've written many fictional children's stories and none of them came about because of my own personal experiences. I do enjoy incorporating fantasy along with real life experience. Lyrics, poetry and prose often do come from one's inner thoughts of the heart, yet should never be mistaken for always coming from personal experience.
