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: The Devil Cried

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
The Dio Years
One fine day in Hell
The master told a story
Someone lied so well
He sent him back to Glory


There are whispers between the screams
That this deed can be done
Even sinners must dream
And I can be the one to make the Devil cry


I can win this game
If all things come together
I know this sounds quite strange
I won't be smart, just clever


It's the law on the other side
Just a tear lets you run
And how many have tried?
I know I'll be the one to make the Devil cry


At last my time has come
I must not give him pleasure
I can be the one
One chance or burn forever


So I told him about my pain
And the life I've been through
He just smiled and the laughter came
Then I told him that I love you, and the Devil cried


Tears from his eyes
Eyes of fire
And the Devil cried
