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: Can't Get Close Enough

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Forbidden
How many tears must we cry before learning, 
Things that we have they're for real and we're losing, 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away. 
Why do you believe that we've got something coming, 
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing, 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away, 
Too far away. 
In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive, 
Taking all and giving nothing that's a crime. 
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too, 
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth. 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away. 
All I need is understanding and the right to survive, 
Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by. 
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too, 
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth. 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away. 
Too far away. 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away. 
How many tears must we cry before learning, 
Things that we had they're for real and we're losing, 
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away. 
Too far away, too far away, too far away.
