Jeden ze základních kamenů hardrockové muziky 70. let a skupina, která naznačila další ubírání rockové hudby směrem k heavy metalu. Pozdější metalové proudy navazovaly i na jejich složku textovou a ideovou (okultismus, mysticismus apod.)....

Píseň: Hand Of Doom

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Paranoid
What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you 
Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return 
Take your written rules, you join the other fools 
Turn to something new, now it's killing you 
First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm 
Disillusioning, you push the needle in 
From life you escape, reality's that way 
Colours in your mind satisfy your time 
Oh you, you know you must be blind 
To do something like this 
To take the sleep that you don't know 
You're giving Death a kiss, 
Oh, little fool now 
Your mind is full of pleasure 
Your body's looking ill 
To you it's shallow leisure 
So drop the acid pill, don't stop to think now 
You're having a good time baby 
But that won't last 
Your mind's all full of things 
You're living too fast 
go out enjoy yourself 
Don't bottle it in 
You need someone to help you 
To stick the needle in, yeah 
Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green 
Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality 
Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin 
Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin 
Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the ground 
Feel your body heave, Death's hands starts to weave 
It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn 
Price of life you cry, now you're gonna die!
