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 Sabbath Stones

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Tyr
Fire and water, wind and rain 
wings that carry hell in every vein 
World possessions, endless taers 
truth and knowledge stolen all their years 


World turns slowly, sun don't shine 
Silence stills the air and kills the chime 
Words are poison, passion bleeds 
2000 years on earth has sown the seeds 


The time of dreams has turned 
The night is gone and light shines on 
Where darkness once would hide 
With spirits high, our fears were born 


CHORUS: 
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you 
Keep you from a restless heart 
Deceiver of night, the stranger that laughs 
within you, the reason for the restless heart 
is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones 


Fire and water, wind and rain 
wings that carry hell in every vein 
World turns slowly, sun don't shine 
Silence stills the air and kills the chime 


Can faith destroy desire? Each breath a prayer 
each step brings fear 
The eyes of they that see have evil stare 
Watch over me 


CHORUS 
and He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones 


What God is this that stands to hear his people cry? 
What hand would strike and watch his people die? 
What life that takes, what future did we earn? 
It's our mistakes, take heed the Sabbath Stones 


What life that takes what future did we earn? 
It's our mistakes
