With today being Sunday, today's random song lyric comes from one of my all-time favorite bands: Black Sabbath. Before you get in an uproar, it's important to note that the band was formed by four regular working-class guys who originally named the band "Earth." The infamous moniker came about because there was already another band on the scene named "Earth", so the guys had to quickly find another name. A local movie theater was showing the now classic 1963 horror movie "Black Sabbath" starring Boris Karloff and the guys saw the name advertised on the marquee of the theater. Over 40 years later the rest is history and all four members are still going strong. The evil, satanic, devil worshipping persona was actually created by the media, and the band capitalized on it as a promotional gimmick.
So here are some lyrics for your Sabbath Day that you may find surprising from Black Sabbath's song "After Forever" from their second album "Master of Reality":
When you think about death, do you lose your breath
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope
Do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
That God is the only way to love
Have a great Sunday!
Awesome :) Nothing wrong with Sabbath! That's Jason's favorite band and 'our song' is Sabra Cadabra lol
ReplyDeleteSabbra Cadabra sure is a great song for a couple. Somebody in the band must have had someone special in mind when they wrote it. But it was too early to be Sharon Osbourne, so I wonder who it was...?
