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: Hard Life To Love

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
The Eternal Idol
Livin' in the fast lane is easy 
Till you run out of road 
Friends will turn to strangers 
When you're out of control 
A slip of the tongue when 
It's done, is often hard to 
See it thru 
So never let your words be lies 
Or they'll come looking for you 


It's a hard life to love 


For the price of glory you left 
And threw your fortunes away 
Never really cared too much for 
The job or the pay 


You're standing in the rain with 
No cover but you never complain 
You're an angry young man face to 
Face but your mirrors insane 
It's a hard life to love 


I'm simply refusing a part in your world 
And I see how it burns 
See how it burns 
And you're simply denying the fact 
That you're blind and I see no more 
I see red - I only see red 


Think of all the times I was 
Hurting but you felt no pain 
Think of all the lies you told me 
Again and again 
And still you see the truth 
From those who continue to lie 
And now you're seeking life 
From those who are living to die 
It's a hard life to love 


I'm simply refusing a part in your world 
And I see how it burns 
See how it burns 
And you're simply denying the fact 
That you're blind and I see no more 
I see red - I only see red 


Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy 
When you run out of road 
Friends will turn to strangers 
When you've nowhere to go 
Don't give a damn when you're lost 
Cause you'll die from it all 
Laws were made to be broken 
And you do it for the thrill of it all 
It's a hard life to love 
It's a hard life to love
