Kiss of DeathBlack Sabbath

Songwriter: Tony Martin (heavy metal vocalist) Tony Iommi Geoff Nicholls Cozy Powell Neil Murray

This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time
We tried to show you on your way, but still, you cannot see, you're hurting me
You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah

You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan
You tried to take my world away, oh no
Now I see it, it's as clear as day
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance

You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies
But I've seen this read before, oh yeah
There is no reason why I should listen now
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance

So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before
Someone like you will never get through my door no more
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah

Every lie that you tell you get closer
Closer to the edge of the Cauldron and in to the fire, yeah
Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you
For ever and ever

Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah

This is no ordinary soul that you're destroying
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time

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.
