In the misty morning, on the edge of time|
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign | RIFF 1:
As the misty morning rolls away to die  |
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky |


We sailed across the air before we learned to fly     |
We thought that it could never end            | RIFF 2:
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run |
Now it seems our world has come undone          |


Oh they say that it's over    |

And it just had to be       | RIFF 3:

Ooh they say that it's over    |
We're lost children of the sea, oh|


We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played|
Hiding in our corner of the world           | RIFF 2:
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore  |
Threw away the key and locked the door        |


Oh they say that it's over, yeah|

And it just had to be      | RIFF 3:

Yes they say that it's over   |
We're lost children of the sea |

SOLO:

In the misty morning, on the edge of time|
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign | RIFF 1:(SEM GUITARRA SOLO)
As the misty morning rolls away to die  |
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky |

Oh they say that it's over, yeah  |

And it just had to be       |RIFF 4 1X & RIFF 3:

Oh they say that it's over     |
Poor lost children of the sea, yeah|

LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down!            |
LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round!| RIFF 2 & RIFF 5
LOOK OUT! The sun is going black, black          |

THE END

Children Of The Sea tab

"Children of the sea" was the first song written for metal legends Black Sabbath's 1980 album "Heaven and Hell". It was made when new singer Ronnie James Dio met up with the rest of the band for a jamming session in guitarist Tony Iommi's house in L.A.

Ronnie James Dio took the place of fired singer and frontman Ozzy Osbourne after the band fired him. The lyrics are by Ronnie James Dio, even if the whole band is credited as writers.
