"Revelation (Mother Earth)" is a heavy metal song written in 1980 by Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley and Randy Rhoads. It is the eighth song on the album Blizzard of Ozz and its running time is 6:08. A live version of the song also appears on the 1987 album Tribute.
The song is about the future of the world and its title refers to the last book of the bible, the Book of Revelation. In the first two verses Ozzy pleads to "Mother Earth" to forgive the human race for all the fighting and destruction it is causing. In the third and fourth verse Ozzy sings about what the humans are doing wrong and what is happening to the world. In the last two verses Ozzy tells what he has seen to be the future and how we must stop before it’s too late.
One of the highlights is the apocalyptic guitar solo played by Randy Rhoads at the end of the song. This song features many classical sounding parts including a classical-type piano solo by Don Airey, the soft guitar part and Randy Rhoads neo classical solo.
