Black Sabbath Lyrics


Formed 1967, Birmingham, England

Mixing equal parts of bone-crushing volume, catatonic
tempos, and ominous pronouncements of gloom and doom
delivered in Ozzy Osbourne’s keening voice, Black Sabbath
was the heavy-metal king of the Seventies. Despised by rock
critics and ignored by radio programmers, the group sold
over eight million albums before Osbourne departed for a
solo career in 1979 [see entry].

The four original members, schoolmates from a working-class
district of industrial Birmingham, first joined forces as
Polka Tulk, a More...

Review about Black Sabbath songs
So sad, but beautiful song! | Reviewer: Menot
    ------ About the song CHANGES performed by Black Sabbath

It's incredible to think this song was written by Black Sabbath. I'm used to listen to Black Sabbath when I want something hard, but now I can also listen to when I'm in need of a ballad. Absolutely perfect!

The Devil Cried | Reviewer: Daniel From Sweden
    ------ About the song The Devil Cried performed by Black Sabbath

From the start i think they should have named the band Heaven And Hell and not Black Sabbath. It is what it is and i think the lineup with Dio and Vinnie is probably the best lineup ever. The three songs on the Dio Years album is amazing. The Devil Cried is a song i always sing along to.

    ------ About the song IN MEMORY... performed by Black Sabbath

These lyrics reflect the sorrow felt from the passing of a human loved one.... Nothing more.. totally acceptable lyrics if sang with country music or sang by Frank Sinatra..everyone knows the name Black Sabbath was never intended to be demonic... only a catchy title reflecting their interest in horror movies.. Ozzie can't help the voice he was given nor Iommi and Butler the type of riffs or rhythms that resonate with them... It's no surprise that Iommi would hire a singer that sounded similar to Ozzie.. Not everything black is demonic or sinister. I wish I would have known the PERSON the lyricist misses.. sounds like he or she made quite an impression and lived as a normal connected person!!!!

    ------ About the song DISTURBING THE PRIEST performed by Black Sabbath

Trashed,Disturbing the priest and Zero the Hero are all great Songs. Ozzy is great but no one can sing like Ian...his voice is God like,amazing. This whole album is so dark and creepy..I love it. A must for all Sabbath fans.

Into the void | Reviewer: Rollie johnson
    ------ About the song INTO THE VOID performed by Black Sabbath

Loved the the song from the first time I hear it, when I was 8. It must have been tough to shove that much fear of annihilation and hope for the future into three minutes forty. Never heard it on LA radio for 20 years.
This is where from songs are born.
This song has yet to inspire its last musician.

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

I play guitar and sing by myself and wanted to play planet caravan tonite at the bar, so i looked up the lyrics...I knew most of them as I have been listening to this song for more than 30yrs. However, I never expected it to take me back to such great memories of places - physical and those that can only be accessed through the mind. Pantera is the only band thats done justice to the guys of Black Sabbath when remaking this song. So, my suggestion is for anyone/everyone to go getchuapull off that shit!

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

The lyrics of the song "After Forever", written by Geezer Butler,[4] a proclaimed Catholic,[citation needed] focus entirely on Christian themes. Although the album jacket credits Iommi alone as the composer of this song, the Black Sabbath Black Box Set refutes the album jacket credit and gives credit to this song (along with "Orchid" and "Embryo") to all four band members in keeping with their wishes to remain a democratic band. At the time, some viewed Black Sabbath as Satanists (which the band had consistently denied) due to their dark sound, image and lyrics. "After Forever" was released as a single along with "Fairies Wear Boots" in 1971.[5][6] Rolling Stone reviewer Lester Bangs criticized the Christian theme of "After Forever", but welcomed the arrangement,[7] while Wilson & Alroy's called the guitar sound "crude but effective".[8]

Great song | Reviewer: Billdo
    ------ About the song CORNUCOPIA performed by Black Sabbath

To me this song is about the lie/illusion of modern society and how it will drive you insane if you buy into it. Still as valid today, probably even more so than it was when it was written.
