Ozzy Osbourne - "Diary of a Madman" (audio)

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I had to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me, there's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dead diary I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me, hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me, there's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape me soul
Or will he enter me
Is he trying to get out
Or trying to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages, are they me
Monday to Sunday in stages, set me free

"Diary of a Madman", ο άξιος διάδοχος του (εξαιρετικού) ντεμπούτου του Ozzy "Blizzard of Ozz" και η τελευταία ηχογράφηση του τρομερού ταλέντου Randy Rhoads. Κυκλοφόρησε τον Νοέμβριο του 1981. Από μία πλειάδα εξαιρετικών τραγουδιών μελωδικού metal ("Over the Mountain", "Flying High Again" κλπ) ξεχωρίζει ως φάρος φωτεινός το επιλογικό ομότιτλο τραγούδι. Από τις καλύτερες συνθέσεις ολάκερης της δεκαετίας, δίχως υπερβολή...
