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: Shock Wave

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Never Say Die
There's no reason for you to run 
You can't escape the fate of the chosen one 
Black moon rising, in a blood red sky 
This time you realise that you're gonna die 
Drinking your blood brew is your answer 
That's what you plan to do 
No dreaming, time you cheat this master 
You're on your own going through 
Wind of mist has taken over your mind 
And you think you're on your own 
Don't believe you are the only one here 
Look around, you're not alone 
Feel the forces from another world 
Ghostly shadows fill your mind 
Evil power hanging over you 
As you freeze, you're like a child 
Look behind you! 
Somebody's calling 
Someone is near 
Feel yourself falling 
Falling with fear 
You tell yourself you're dreaming 
You realise you're screaming 
You know that this shouldn't happen to you 
You tell yourself that it's scary too 
But there is nothing you can do, oh! 
Ghostly shadows from the other world 
Evil forces in your mind 
Trapped between the worlds of life and death 
Frozen in the realms of time 
Look behind you! 
You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line 
Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind 
Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains 
Ice cold fingers, running through your veins
