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 Sign Of The Southern Cross

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Mob Rules
If there isn't light when no one sees 
Then how can I know what you might believe? 
A story told that can't be real 
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah 
Fade away, fade away 
Vanish into small 
Fade away, fade away 
Break the crystal ball - OH! 
It's the sign 
Feels like the time! 
On a small world, west of wonder 
Somwhere, nowhere all 
There's a rainbow that will shimmer 
When the summer falls 
If an echo darts in dancer 
When it hears a certain song 
Then the beast is free to wander 
But never is seen around 
And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
It's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
All right 
Sail away 
To the sign 
Ohh 
From the book, the word is spoken 
Whispers from forgotten psalms 
Gather all around the young ones 
They will make us strong 
Reach above your dreams of pleasure 
Given life to those who died 
Look beyond your own horizons 
Sail the ship of signs 
And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
It's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
Fade away, fade away 
Break the crystal ball 
Fade away, fade away 
I can't accept it anymore 
On a real world, west of wonder 
Somwhere, nowhere all 
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer 
When the summer falls 
>From the book, the word is spoken 
Whispers from forgotten psalms 
Gather all around the young ones 
They will make us strong! 
It's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
It's the Sign of the Southern Cross 
Don't live for pleasure 
Make life your treasure 
Fade away! 
Eight miles high, about to fall 
And no one there to catch you 
Look for the sign, the time 
The Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah
