Black Sabbath Lyrics

    ------ About the song AFTER FOREVER performed by Black Sabbath

I noticed one of the earlier reviewers clearly had no idea what he was waffling on about.
You will notice the review i am refferring to as it stands out like a dirty nappy.
Black Sabbath are without any doubt the greatest heavy rock band that has ever lived.
If joe public does not get what they were or were not about then that speaks volumes on the lack of intelligence within our society.
They were a heavy rock band.
Not Gods or Emperors for petes sake. They made music that millions of people with more than half a brain enjoyed and still enjoy many years further on down the line.
Basically, if you dont listen to Black sabbath ( old or newer ) and get what they were all about, then really you should apply for a job in poundland.

    ------ About the song AFTER FOREVER performed by Black Sabbath

Because a band sings about a certain subject in a song, doesnt mean its what they believe, it was probably something they saw or heard that gave them an idea for a song. Black Sabbath, at the time, were into all the same things oters were into, the drugs, the girls, the occult, wizards, fairys and black magic, heaven and hell... that was what the fans liked too, or else they would never have been as well known as they are. Shoot, Led Zeppelin's own jimmy page was into all that stuff... all that warlock and dark world BS and no one calls Led Zep evil.

    ------ About the song AFTER FOREVER performed by Black Sabbath

Ozzy,after years of singing about the dark side.and i wont say the devil or god. just good & evil, But after many years of singing about,how can you not live about,the dark side.I personally beleive ozzy was at odds with himself throughout this entire album.Used it as a way to somewhat atone for his recently past "wicked ways" and tried to find his true calling musically,lyrically,spiritually. You could say "lord of this world" is kinda preachy too.Against the "Dark side" & "Embryo" I sence an egg ready to be reborn. "Into the void" well I dont know,got my own veiws on that one,non spiritual or religious,just a cool fucking song,Thats why I named my Sab cover band ITV back in92. Been listening to sabbath since I was 8 in '76 running around the house with a cape on,listen to Paranoid on 8 track, screaming "I am Iron man'" Dropped acid when I hit 14 and the rest-of what i can remember-is history.Not many things i know to well in this world ,but after 35 years of being in music with Sabbath being my biggest influence,one thing i do know is where John Osbournes head was.Follow the chronological timeline of his albums and lyrics.Granted 90% of them were metaphorical and mysterical in nature.but he did bleed his feelings out in a strong 10% of "HIS" lyrics. From his first band "EARTH" in mid 60s to 1978s last album,its been a very heavy message of true life.The immortal battle of Good vs Evil, whether it be in your soul or the world as a whole. Ozzys' soul will live on ,DAGGA-

Sabbath are singing the song from the listeners prospective, not for thier own personnel beliefs. Any real sabbath fan worth thier salt would know that. The beatles sang about maxwells silver hammer, it dont mean they are mass murderers does it.

    ------ About the song IRON MAN performed by Black Sabbath

Having lived through the 60s and so on, I can only say that most of the above is true...this song was an anthem. Not only for returning vets but for those of us who were tired of turning the other cheek and wanted to plant a boot on some cheeks of authority as well!!! It was along with Deep Purple a necessary alternative to the placid folk style which had come to represent a movement which was fast becoming much more of a heavy metal audience in need. This was our POWER!!!!!

    ------ About the song AFTER FOREVER performed by Black Sabbath

LOVE Black Sabbath of old. It is to the credit of my younger brother, Gene, who opened my eyes to After Forever. It will be one of my ever favorites.
Rest In Peace...my young bro...I love and miss you dearly.

    ------ About the song THE WRIT performed by Black Sabbath

Ozzy never wrote much of the lyrics for Sabbath, did you know that? Google around in case I'm wrong, but it was like a few %, whilst Geezer wrote most with contributions from anyone else who had a few words, something like that was the dynamic. The frontman isn't always the most talented!

    ------ About the song PLANET CARAVAN performed by Black Sabbath

Damn, this is a great song. The first time that i listened Planet Caravan
I was like: "what the heck is this? It's so weird" Now i realize that this
is good for sleeping time and reflection (I guess).

And also, lyrics are perfect if you are a space man, if you work on the NASA
or if you like to watch the stars that shine like eyes.

    ------ About the song PARANOID performed by Black Sabbath

This songs history is amazing... Black Sabbath wrote it during a lunch break in the studio right before a show in Germany. The best thing about Parinoid is that the song is very easy for new bands to practice and cover. It is a very simple 1/8 beat song that can be covered for just about evry version of metal there is out there... from clasic hard rock, to 80's hair and thrash metal, to todays high count death and gloom metal... it is a universial song.

    ------ About the song WAR PIGS performed by Black Sabbath

Isn't this what Christians teach? Generals and Politicians, the constructors of war and death? They're ending the lives of people they don't even know. Song ends by those war and death creators begging for thier own lives when judgement day comes. Also how politicians hide and let the poor do their fighting? Sound familiar? Satan laughing, spreads his wings? Politicans and Generals taken for fools.
