Northern Wisdom Lyrics by Geezer Butler

Manipulations of the Mind: The Complete Collection

1997

[Verse 1]
Scene from a flickering corner of life
A boy who went and got himself lost
She's there, walking right in his shadow
The woman whose path he should have crossed
[Pre-Chorus]
The light shines on her
I burst into flames
[Chorus]
A case of northern wisdom filters my eyes
Embrace the light as mother sighs
I feel a southern breeze ignite my soul
And out of time and space, I lose control
[Verse 2]
She's there, walking right in his shadow
The woman whose path he should have crossed
[Pre-Chorus]
The light shinеs on her
I burst into flames
[Chorus]
A case of northеrn wisdom filters my eyes
Embrace the light as mother sighs
I feel a southern breeze ignite my soul
And out of time and space, I lose control
[Bridge]
Looking for answers in my head
Left between what could and should have been instead
[Chorus]
A case of northern wisdom filters my eyes
Embrace the light as mother sighs
I feel a southern breeze ignite my soul
And out of time and space, I lose control
