Mr Crowley
Ozzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah you waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Ah conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I want to know what you meant
I want to know
I want to know what you meant, yeah
The lyrics of "Mr. Crowley" by Ozzy Osbourne are packed with references to the occult and controversial historical figure Aleister Crowley. The song is a tribute to Crowley, who was a British occultist, writer, and mystic known for his teachings, mysticism, and association with the dark arts. The song begins with Ozzy Osbourne addressing Crowley directly, asking him about what was done to his head and whether he talked to the dead. The next verse describes Crowley's lifestyle as tragic and notes that he used magic to fool people. The third verse alludes to Crowley's sexual practices, which were often considered taboo and involves the manifestation of something sacred on earth.
The chorus of the song is somewhat cryptic but appears to refer to the idea that Crowley rode a "white horse," which is symbolic of purity or heroism. The lyrics also mention a time that is "classic" and "drastic," indicating that something significant is approaching. In the last stanza, Ozzy Osbourne seems to question the meaning and intent behind Crowley's writings, asking whether they were "polemically sent" and expressing a desire to understand Crowley's true intentions.
Overall, "Mr. Crowley" is a dark and enigmatic song that pays tribute to a controversial figure in religious and cultural history.
