In , Black Sabbath, featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi above , stunned the music world with a dark and riveting new form of rock: heavy metal. Before the world recognized Black Sabbath as heavy-metal forefathers, the band members wrote a song that gave them the chills. Half a century has passed since Black Sabbath first scared the bejesus out of rock fans with their eponymous anthem. The song opens with the sound of a powerful thunderstorm and ominous church chimes before crashing into its lumbering, iconic riff. Artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Led Zeppelin had spent the late Sixties edging into darker, denser terrain, but it was Black Sabbath who made heavy a way of life.

Look through the people and on through the mist To the hill of the headless cross, Where all witches meet, on a night such as this And the power of darkness is host They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul, With an angel that fell from the sky. Borne on the air, lot of screams and the wails Of the masses appointed to die. Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, At the headless cross, at the headless cross. From the first evil night, when a black flash of light Cut the crucifix half to the ground. There's been no escape from the power of Satan. On a nation so brave and so proud. How do ya feel when the locks refuse the key. And the master is calling your name?
