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 Road

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Never Say Die
Old men crying, young men dying 
World still turns as Father Time looks on 
On and on 
Children playing, dreamers praying 
Laughter turns to tear as love has gone 
Has it gone? 
Oh, it's a hard road 
Oh, it's a hard road 
Whirlwind churning, lovers learning 
On this path of life we can't back down 
Is it wrong? 
Widows weeping, babies sleeping 
Life becomes the singer and the song 
Sing along 
Oh, it's a hard road 
Carry your own load 
Why make the hard road? 
Why can't we be friends? 
No need to hurry 
We'll meet in the end 
Why make the hard road? 
Why can't we be friends? 
No need to worry 
Let's sing it again 
Brother's sharing, mother's caring 
Nightime falling victim to the dawn 
Shadows small 
Days are crawling, time is calling 
To the Earth that not that life has gone 
Love line drawn 
Oh, it's a hard road 
Carry your own load 
Oh, it's a hard road 
Oh, it's a hard road... 
We're living in sorrow, we're living the best 
And look to the future, `cause life goes together now 
We're living in sorrow, we're living the best 
And look to the future, `cause life goes together now 
We're living in sorrow, we're living the best 
And look to the future, `cause life goes together now...
