Upon first listen, most would assume that Holy for Tonight is Ozzy’s final goodbye; considering its macabre lyrics and tone. However, in his 2020 NME interview, the singer confirms that this song is,
about a guy on death row, because I think we’d all get a bit holy if you knew you were going to be...
[Verse 1]
Pray for me, father, for I know not what I do
I am the monster, yeah, you must have read the news
Don't know how it started, but I know just how it ends
Pray for me, father, 'cause I'm runnin' out of friends
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm runnin' out of time forever
I know I'm someone that they won't remember
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night (Ah)
Tomorrow is my last goodbye (Ah-oh)
So I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be the longest of my life (Ah)
I might have told a million lies (Ah-oh)
But I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
[Verse 2]
What will I think of when I speak my final words?
What will it feel like? And I wonder if it hurts
I've just got a mile and I can taste the kiss of death
What will I think of when I take my final breath?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm runnin' out of time forever
I know I'm someone that they won't remember
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night (Ah)
Tomorrow is my last goodbye (Ah-oh)
So I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be the longest of my life (Ah)
I might have told a million lies (Ah-oh)
But I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night (Ah)
Tomorrow is my last goodbye (Ah-oh)
So I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
It's gonna be a lonely night (Ah)
It's gonna be the longest of my life (Ah)
I might have told a million lies (Ah-oh)
But I'll be holy for tonight (Holy for tonight)
[Outro]
Alright
Alright
It's gonna be a lonely night (Lonely night)
Tonight (Lonely night)
It's gonna be a lonely night (Lonely night)
Alright (Night, night, night, night, night, night)
It's gonna be a lonely night
Alright
