Black Sabbath Picture
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).

Call Of The Wild Lyrics

Black Sabbath

In this last and final hour, you cant hide
Theres nowhere now that you can run
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings, demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell
Its the call of the wild calling you
In this last macabre hour, witches cry
And turn to dust before the moon
Many spirits are lost forever, but one survives
To call the tune of lucifer
Its the call of the wild calling you
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, dont beleive in fate, it aint what it seems
All you gotta do now is stay free
Youre the one they turn to when hell screams
Fear of the devil has no place among the brave
Faced with pain, theres a battle to be won
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings, demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell
Its the call of the wild calling you
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, dont beleive in fate, it aint what it seems
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, dont beleive in fate, it aint what it seems
Hero, you got the fear of the devil burning your soul
Hero, its the call of the wild
Hero, tearing your soul
