Black Sabbath

Take these bones
My spirit doesn't need them any longer
In the zone
Between the living and the dead
Take these eyes
'Cause I don't need to see another minute
Of this life
From which I'm hanging by a thread

Please let go
We'll maybe meet again in someone's vision
Who could know
If there's another world out there?
On my own
I'm crossing through the final resolution
Going home
Without a promise or a breath

The hour of indecision
Too late to change your mind
Was it a superstition?
In light and in your time

In my time
I've tried but didn't find a real direction
Toe the line
On the periphery of life
Say goodbye
There's no escape from absolute conclusion
Life goes by
But memories remain the same
Remain the same

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.
