Black Sabbath is a seminal British hard rock/heavy metal band, originally comprising John "Ozzy" Osbourne (vocals), Frank Anthony Iommi (guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums). They are cited by many as having helped pioneer the Heavy Metal genre in the early 1970s. Black Sabbath formed in Birmingham, England in 1968 under the name Polka Tulk Blues Band (soon shortened to "Polka Tulk"), and later Earth. Initially a blues-rock band, Earth moved in a darker direction when their bassist, Geezer Butler, a fan of the black magic novels of Dennis Wheatley, wrote an occult-themed song titled "Black Sabbath" (the song name was apparently inspired by a 1963 Mario Bava film). (In their reunion concert film, the band stated that the song is based on an experience Geezer had one night when he saw a black object at the end of his bed and noticed the next day that an occult book Ozzy had given him was missing).

Back To Eden Lyrics
Black Sabbath
We are the star demons, reaching out yeah,
We want to touch your world,
We are the dream makers, pure and sweet yeah,
Were gonna change your world.
Chorus:
When youre tired of giving reasons
And freedom fighting freedom
If youre searching for an answer,
We can bring you back to eden.
Theres no need for pain and anger,
The power of peace can destroy the gun.
Leave behind mans vanity yeah,
And living life on the run.
Chorus
Is God forgiving, is this the final warning,
Watching as the future turns.
Science fiction, real life addiction.
The human race will never learn.
