The Spell
Iommi & Glenn Hughes Lyrics

It's taken your will and deep is the knife
You have been completely overpowered and it has left you in great pain and vulnerability

The blood it will spill, the rest of your life
This experience has caused great harm and you will carry the consequences for the rest of your life

It's more than a glance, it's cold down below
The situation is more severe than it may seem and it leaves you feeling hollow inside

You've taken the chance, where you shouldn't go
You made a mistake by venturing into places you shouldn't have

Why did you forsake, you had to take
You deliberately chose to ignore your better judgement and make a risky move

And now you're living in your hell
As a result of your choices, you're now in a painful and uncomfortable place

The vow you break, you try to shake
You're struggling to come to terms with the fact that your actions have broken your promises

But it's so hard to break the spell
It's incredibly difficult for you to undo the damage caused by your choices

The wheel of life is turnin'
The universe operates in cycles and what goes around, comes around

You never should have crossed the track
You shouldn't have ventured out of your comfort zone and taken such a big risk

Your karma is burnin'
Your actions have consequences, and you're currently experiencing the negative ones

You know you never can go back
There's no way to change the past or undo what you've done

Now say what you must, and kill your design
You need to be honest and take responsibility for your choices, and stop this harmful behavior

To ashes and dust, it chills to the spine
Your actions have led to destruction and it's a scary and chilling feeling

I don't understand, thought I knew you well
Others may feel confused and hurt by your actions, as they thought they knew you and your values

It's so outta hand, you can't break the spell
Things have spiraled out of control and it seems impossible to fix the damage done

And now you're all alone
You may feel isolated and unsupported in this difficult time

You've taken my advice
You should have listened to others' advice and made wiser choices

And you have never known
You didn't realize how bad the situation would get

I should have told you twice
Others may feel they could have done more to prevent you from making the mistakes you did

And you will hear the call
You will face the consequences and have to answer for your actions

And now you start to fall
You're experiencing the negative consequences of your actions and it's a difficult and painful experience

I see you lose your grip
Others may observe your struggle as you try to handle the difficult situation you're in

It's so hard to break the spell
Unfortunately, the damage that has been done cannot be easily undone
