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: Eternal Idol

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
The Eternal Idol
No one said it had to be this way 
Why are we the victims of their final word 


Dying world is killing us so slowly 
I believe no god may save us now 


Can't you see what I see 
Sinners say your prayers tonite 
Your judgement day is here 
Child tomorrow will die, not even 
Born jesus our questions 
He never seems to hear 
Dying for the answers may be 
The price we pay, to find the 
Key to our lives 
Is there a heaven is there a hell 
Who's this god, tell me there's 
No god above, why 
We chose what lord, deep 
Within our souls 
He's not one thing 
We are his spirit 
We could save this world 
From destruction day 
Can't you see what I see 


You and I victims of their word 
As the masters of power 
Try to poison our world 


Greed money taken over 
Their souls, you're 
Just mechanical brains 
Politicians don't know 
Just don't know 
We can chance this world we 
Live in, don't let it die
