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).

I Lyrics
Black Sabbath
I am anger
Under pressure
Lost it cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
Chorus:
I - I - i
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
Im a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Dont try it
The powers in one
Chorus:
I - I - i
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - i
On the edge of the blade
But the knife cant cut the hero down
I am virgin
Im a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
Ill smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
Youll never
Be stronger than me
Chorus:
I - I - i
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - i
Dont follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I - I - i
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - i
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed
( no, no , no )
I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
Youll never
Never make the hero bleed
( no, no, no )
