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).

Hand Of Doom Lyrics
Black Sabbath
Whatcha gonna do?
Times caught up with you
Now you wait your turn
You know theres no return
Take your written rules
You join the other fools
Turn to something new
Now its killing you
First it was the bomb
Vietnam napalm
Disillusioning
You push the needle in
From life you escape
Realitys that way
Colours in your mind
Satisfy your time
Oh you, you know you must be blind
To do something like this
To take the sleep that you dont know
Youre giving death a kiss, oh, little fool now
Your mind is full of pleasure
Your bodys looking ill
To you its shallow leisure
So drop the acid pill,
Dont stop to think now
Youre having a good time baby
But that wont last
Your minds all full of things
Youre living too fast
Go out enjoy yourself
Dont bottle it in
You need someone to help you
To stick the needle in, yeah
Now you know the scene
Your skin starts turning green
Your eyes no longer seeing
Lifes reality
Push the needle in,
Face deaths sickly grin
Holes are in your skin,
Caused by deadly pin
Head starts spinning round
You fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave
Deaths hands starts to weave
Its too late to turn
You dont want to learn
Price of life you cry
Now youre gonna die!
