No More Tears

Album: No More Tears (1991)

The title track from Ozzy's sixth studio album is a 7-minute epic that became one of his signature songs of the 90s. Built around an unforgettable bassline written by Mike Inez, the song showcases a more polished and powerfully produced sound. Its dynamic structure, which shifts from heavy verses to a haunting, atmospheric bridge, makes it a masterclass in metal songwriting.

[Intro - Bass and Keyboards]

[Verse 1]
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

[Chorus]
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror and tell me do you think your life's in danger here?
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
So you're scared of the monkey but you're not scared of the man
The man with the money and the gun in his hand
They're telling you stories that you're not to be told
But you're burning your bridges and you're feeling so old

[Chorus]
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror and tell me do you think your life's in danger here?
No more tears!

[Bridge]
So now that it's over, don't let it get you down
It's only the start of the end of the world as you know it
And the breaking of the dawn and the...
And the...

[Guitar Solo - Zakk Wylde]

[Outro]
I'm coming home...
I'm coming home...
Just leave a light on...
I'm coming home...
No more tears...
No more tears...
No more tears...
No more tears...
