N.I.B.
Unveiling Love's Dark Overture: N.I.B. by Black Sabbath
Lyrics
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
Some people say my love cannot be true
Some doubt about the sincerity of the speaker's love.
Please believe me my love, and I'll show you
Request for trust in the speaker's love, with a promise to demonstrate it.
I will give you those things you thought unreal
Commitment to providing extraordinary and seemingly impossible things.
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Symbolic claim of influence over cosmic elements.
Oh yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement.
Follow me now and you will not regret
Encouragement to follow the speaker with a promise of no regrets.
Leaving the life you led before we met
Advising to leave past life for a new one with the speaker.
You are the first to have this love of mine
Declaration of the exclusivity of the listener's love.
Forever with me 'til the end of time
Commitment to a love that lasts until the end of time.
Your love for me has just got to be real
Assertion that the listener's love must be genuine.
Before you know the way I'm going to feel
Anticipation of the listener understanding the speaker's emotions.
I'm going to feel
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of upcoming feelings.
I'm going to feel
-Oh yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement.
Now I have you with me, under my power
Expression of control over the listener and strengthening of love.
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Claim that the love between speaker and listener is growing stronger.
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
Invitation to look into the speaker's eyes to understand their identity.
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Revelation of the speaker's identity as Lucifer, with an invitation to join.
Oh yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement.
Follow me now and you will not regret
Encouragement to follow the speaker with a promise of no regrets (repeat).
Leaving the life you led before we met
