Sobre el álbum
El álbum Black Rain presenta a un Ozzy Osbourne con un sonido más oscuro, pesado y con ciertos toques industriales. En este trabajo, la banda crea una atmósfera densa y opresiva, con guitarras muy distorsionadas y una producción deliberadamente moderna y contundente. Es uno de los discos más agresivos de su carrera en solitario.La temática del álbum es bastante sombría, con letras que critican la guerra, la religión y la codicia, reflejando una visión pesimista del mundo. Zakk Wylde entrega algunos de sus riffs más potentes y pesados, en perfecta sintonía con el tono general del disco. El sencillo "I Don't Wanna Stop" se convierte en un nuevo himno de rock para estadios, demostrando que Ozzy no había perdido su olfato para los estribillos. "Black Rain" es un trabajo sólido y poderoso que muestra su lado más duro.

Letra
Don't tell me I'm wrong Don't tell me that you knew all along I won't roll over dead Only I know what goes on in my head I've got nothing to hide I'm not guilty inside I won't give up After all I'm still crazy I'm not going away, I'm not going Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand I'm not going away, I'm not going Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land Get out of my way There's nothing you can do to change what I say I won't ever let go I got the answer but you'll never know I got my eyes open wide Ain't gonna slip up or slide Can't take me down After all I'm still crazy I'm not going away, I'm not going Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand I'm not going away, I'm not going Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land [SOLO] I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away, I'm not going Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand I'm not going away, I'm not going Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land I'm not going away I'm not going away I'm not going away, I'm not going Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land - I Don't Wanna Stop

Letra
The black rain is falling Contaminating the ground The human race is dying The dead are scattered around What is the price of a bullet? Another hole in the head A flag draped over a coffin Another soldier is dead How many victims have fallen How many more have to die People dying in masses Angel of death standing by We've got our marching orders Defenders of our home and our pride We've crossed too many borders Military suicide War killing sons and daughters Another failed attack There is no turning back Blood running down like water You'll think you got away Until the judgment day comes Politicians confuse me I watch the body count rise Why are the children all marching Into the desert to die? The human psyche is twisted The madness rising again Another empire falling I watch them dying in vain We've got our marching orders Defenders of our home and our pride We've crossed too many borders Military suicide war sends our sons to slaughter Another failed attack There is no turning back Blood running down like water You'll think you got away Until the judgment day comes Are you ready? Black rain, black rain Black rain, black rain War killing sons and daughters Another failed attack There is no turning back Blood running down like water You'll think you got away Until the judgment day You'll think you got away Until your judgment day comes - Lay Your World on Me
Letra
I know you think you're all alone I haven't been there when you've needed me I didn't deserve the love you gave But now I'm telling you I'm here if you need a friend Give me your pain Give me your anger Let me be your rock I can be the pillar of strength that you need I'll help you keep it all together It's better late than never Lay your world on me I can take the weight Don't let it twist you up inside Time never fails to make the heartache stop You've got to let those feelings go I'll give you everything I can if you say the word Give me your pain Give me your anger Let me be your rock I can be the pillar of strength that you need I'll help you keep it all together It's better late than never Lay your world on me I can take the weight We all laugh and we all cry We all hurt the same inside We all fall down and we lose faith in who we really are But if we bend instead of break The choice for us is to make it together Lay your world on me I'll help you keep it all together It's better late than never Lay your world on me Lay your world on me Lay your world on me I can take the weight - The Almighty Dollar
Letra
It's in the lives that we lead Setup for money and greed A little isn't enough we have to use it all up Success, excess, the truth is inconvenient Oh hang your head Pillaged and left us for dead You kept us blind and mislead How could you think nothing's wrong You won't be smiling for long When it's all gone, gone We can never go back Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come down Turn your head away ignore the fear Watching the ice crash down Our father's justice gets closer How could you screw us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar The almighty dollar Poison the air that we breathe Chained to industrial need Destroy the souls that you steal, the radiation is real Debate, too late, you've built our funeral pyre You kill my faith Mother earth, desecrate Deceive the whole human race I know you think nothing's wrong We won't be breathing for long When it's all gone, gone We can never go back Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come down Turn your head away ignore the fear Watching the ice crash down Our father's justice gets closer How could you fuck us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar Death, doom and disaster The point of no return No earthly life ever after Is it too late to learn? Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come down Turn your head away ignore the fear Watching the ice crash down Our father's justice gets closer How could you fuck us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar The almighty dollar - 11 Silver
Letra
Your words, they go right through me They circle round my head, yeah I can't believe I'm still here I know I should be dead, yeah This desperation makes me feel so filthy But I know if I don't stop I won't feel guilty Take me higher Crank me faster Help me get the thrill I'm after One time to take away all pain One more to turn myself insane One shot to keep me high all day Makes my reality fade away There is no future waiting There is no morning after Can't stop obsessive craving An itch I just can't scratch, yeah This paranoia stops my mind from sleeping I don't know if I'm awake or if I'm dreaming Take me in You won't deny me Spit me out, all bright and shiny One time to take away all pain One more to turn myself insane One shot to keep me high all day Makes my reality fade away [SOLO] One time to take away all pain One more to turn myself insane One shot to keep me high all day Makes my reality fade away - Civilize the Universe
Letra
Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing, chasing rockets and gasping for air You can call it justice or retribution, yet the reasons are never clear Freedom is just man's invention and a soldier is just a slave Self inflicted, so addicted, bad habits are hard to break I'm alive Watching better turn to worse One more time Try to civilize the universe Without the righteous, without the faithful, we would never accept the obscene A false confession, a priest's obsession gives the demon a light to be seen Burn the witch and hang deserters, there's only one choice to be made We're thought restricted, and herd afflicted, the truth is so hard to take I'm alive Watching better turn to worse One more time Try to civilize the universe The righteous and the faithful Give the deaf man to the blind The world full of confusion From a disease of the mind [SOLO] I'm alive Watching better turn to worse One more time Try to civilize the universe I'm alive Watching better turn to worse One more time Try to civilize the universe Try to civilize the universe - Here for You
Letra
I remember all the good times Sometimes I'd wonder would it last I used to dream about the future But now the future is the past I don't wanna live in yesterday Cross my heart until I die Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring Because today has just begun No matter whatever else I've done I'm here for you I'm here for you So now I sit here and I wonder What ever happened to my friends? Too many bought a one way ticket But I'll be with you 'til the end I don't wanna live in yesterday Cross my heart until I die Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring Because today has just begun No matter whatever else I've done I'm here for you You're my religion, you're my reason to live You are the heaven in my hell We've been together for a long long time And I just can't live without you No matter what you do, I'm here for you I don't wanna live in yesterday Cross my heart until I die Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring Because today has just begun No matter whatever else I've done I'm here for you I'm here for you I'm here for you I'm here for you - Countdown's Begun
- Trap Door
Letra
Can you see your reflection False strength, hollow protection Run from pain and rejection The truth stabs again Till the skin is broken And the cut is open And the words once spoken Just fade away Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Big head leads to confusion Strong heart pumps up delusion Tough talk, one voice communion Medicate the pain Justify your ego Living with denial And the thoughts so vile Won't fade away Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door It's coming You're falling You're on your own with no one left to blame Can't sleep? 'cause you've made your own bed The sentence of the helpless Sink deep to the trial in your head The court of the selfish Why? Tell me why? Can't evade or escape the reality A true lie and a broken promise A Judas and a doubting Thomas A tragedy just to keep you honest Guilty always fall Through the trap door Fear the trap door Through the trap door The trap door, the trap door No fear, too scared to look up Can't win, nothing but bad luck Clock ticks, your time to face up You can't run for long When your world is broken Your trap door is open The very words you choke on Just fade away Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door Too late, standing on the trap door
