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: Ancient Warrior

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
The Eternal Idol
There's no end - there's no beginning 
To the old man's story 
Does he still remember me 
From lives gone by 
Oh I see his spirit rising 
Upon the back of time 
I've got nowhere to hide 
Will he keep a place for me 


He is the king of all kings 
The keeper of light 
He holds eternity's wings 


In his eyes an ocean's burning 
Swollen seas of tears 
Troubled mind the beating 
War drums in his ears 
No one ever hears his warning 
Am I the one he calls 
When they tell me they're afraid 
Some say I'll be put away 


He is the king of all kings 
The keeper of light 
He holds eternity's wings 
My blood will spill my blood 


My blood will spill my blood 


In the wisdom of the prophet's 
Never ending tale 
Open up the eyes 
Within your mind, he says 
Crowned in his ancient glory 
There's a king within us all 
Some will say it's all in vain 
That he doesn't have a name 


He is the king of all kings 
The keeper of light 
He holds eternity's wings
