Black Sabbath

Caught up in the pain of a broken heart
Life isn't what it seems
Because it's all been torn apart
Is my imagination playing tricks on me?
The politics of love
Have turned into a conspiracy

Wash your life in mother's tears
Grieving after all disease
Tell me who gave you the right
Get down on your knees and cry all night
Cry all night

Insanity and madness, better or for worse
Dishonesty and lies
Have turned a blessing to a curse
And in this world of sadness
It's easier to blame
Deception and denial
Shuns the burning of the flame

The path of life leads to the grave
God have mercy, Jesus save
Guide us through, now, hold on tight
Get down on your knees and cry all night

Why don't we try to find a real solution?
No need to cry, so wipe away those tears
So many times I've tried, but you won't listen
Now it's too late to save those wasted years

Mind assassination, break the golden rules
Who do you think you are?
To me, you're just another fool
You didn't stop to reason, you didn't even try
Only see things from your side
It's all a one way ride

Don't go under, stand your right
Wish someone would stop the fight
Shattered dreams fall out of sight
Get down on your knees and cry all night
Cry all night
You're gonna cry all night
Cry all night

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.
