Sometimes giants fall
Turns out our larger than life heroes and idols are mortal after all
We know that some day death will come for us all
There aren’t any exceptions
But it hardly makes it easier to bear
We don’t usually get time to prepare

The reaper will come
Father Time will call
God will bring us home
Death is undefeated, it is inevitable
We all know this
But it’s hard for us to internalize
Hard to accept, hard to understand

We keep asking ourselves, “Why” and, “Why now?”
How could someone who’s always been there simply be gone?
Here today and gone tomorrow
Hale and hearty quickly turns to sickly
This one hurts. It fills me with sorrow

Sometimes giants fall
Turns out our larger than life heroes and idols are mortal after all
Even darkness comes for the prince of darkness
There was no cheating death in the end
It hurts to say goodbye
It’ll be some time before I listen to a song of yours and not cry

Larger than life, we knew you by one name
The father of a genre, creator of a way of life
You gave a voice to the voiceless
Gave us a place where we belonged
Forever grateful for the legacy you left
Forever grateful for the impact you made

Sometimes giants fall
Turns out our larger than life heroes and idols are mortal after all
When you said goodbye on the stage—
We didn’t know it’d be goodbye forever
You went home
You closed your eyes forever
But you did it on your terms

I’m glad you’re no longer in pain
You gave it your all
You mean the world to us
Thank you for everything
The Prince of Darkness will live on in our hearts
We’ll never forget you
RIP Ozzy
