Too LateBlack Sabbath

Released: June 22, 1992

Songwriter: Dio Tony Iommi Geezer Butler

Producer: Reinhold Mack

Soon it's never more
When you've got to pay for promises
Made in the night
Call the magic one
And with the magic comes forever
Chained to the flame

It's too late
Too late for tears
Too late, no-one hears you
Do you feel the touch of evil?
It's too late

To wish and make it so
To feel the power growing stronger
Blessed by the dark
And when the candle fades
You can say it was a joke you played
So you must let me go, no

It's too late, you've said the word
Too late, something heard you
Too late, now the race is on
And you've run out of road
Too late for tears
Too late and no-one hears you
Can you feel the touch of evil?
It's too late

Save me
I believe in your name
I've fallen down
But now I've found nobody to take the blame

Misery
Come to drag me away
When the hunter cries, no alibis
Get ready for judgement day

As the candle fades
You can say it was a game you made
So you must let me go, let me go

It's too late, you've said the word
Too late, something heard you
Too late, the spell is gone
And this time you're the fool
It's too late for tears
Too late, no-one hears you
Welcome to forever
Welcome, it's too late, too late

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
