Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gather the wind
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun
And it tears away to face you as you run
You run, you run
[Verse 2]
Behind the smile
There's danger and a promise to be told
You'll never get old, ha!
Life's fantasy
To be locked away and still to think you're free
You're free, we're free
[Verse 3]
So live for today
Tomorrow never comes
[Verse 4]
Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the air?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fair
[Verse 5]
Gather the wind
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun
And it tears away to face you as you run
You run, you run
[Verse 6]
So live for today
Tomorrow never comes
[Verse 7]
Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, die young, die young, die young
Written by: Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Ronnie J Dio, Tony Iommi
