The Spell
Glenn Hughes & Iommi Lyrics

It's taken your will and deep is the knife
You've been put under a powerful spell that has taken control of your free will and emotions, as if a sharp knife has been plunged deep into you

The blood it will spill, the rest of your life
The effects of this spell will be long-lasting and cause you pain and suffering for the rest of your life, as if you are bleeding out

It's more than a glance, it's cold down below
This spell is not just a passing thing, it's a deep and dark force that chills you to the bone, like something cold and sinister from the underworld

You've taken the chance, where you shouldn't go
You've made a grave mistake by taking a risk that you should have avoided, leading you down a dangerous path

The wheel of life is turnin'
Life is constantly changing, and what goes around comes around, leading to consequences for your actions

You never should have crossed the track
You should have been more careful and avoided doing something that you knew was wrong

Your karma is burnin'
Your past actions have caught up with you, and you are now experiencing the painful consequences of your choices

You know you never can go back
You can't undo what's been done, and you must face the consequences of your actions

Why did you forsake, you had to take
Why did you betray someone or something that you once believed in? Why did you feel the need to do something you knew was wrong?

And now you're living in your hell
You are now experiencing the painful consequences of your actions, and it feels like you are living in a personal hell

The vow you break, you try to shake
You know you made a promise or commitment that you have broken, and you are struggling to get out of the situation you've put yourself in

But it's so hard to break the spell
Breaking free from the powerful spell you've fallen under is an incredibly difficult and painful process

Now say what you must, and kill your design
It's time to speak up and be honest about what you've done, and to destroy the plan or design that led you down the wrong path

To ashes and dust, it chills to the spine
It's time to destroy the negative forces that have taken over your life, but doing so is a scary and spine-chilling experience

I don't understand, thought I knew you well
I am struggling to comprehend how you could have fallen so far, especially since I thought I knew you so well

It's so outta hand, you can't break the spell
The situation is now completely out of control, and it feels impossible to break free from the powerful spell

And now you're all alone
You are now forced to face the painful consequences of your actions by yourself, with nobody to turn to

You've taken my advice
You have finally listened to the advice of someone who saw the dangerous path you were on and warned you about it

And you have never known
You were unaware of the full consequences of your actions until now

I should have told you twice
I regret not warning you more strongly about the dangers you were facing

And you will hear the call
You will soon feel the negative effects of the spell even more strongly

And now you start to fall
You are beginning to experience the painful consequences of your choices, and it feels like you are falling down a deep hole
