11. Contenido de las diferentes canciones de Black Sabbath.
After All (The Dead): This song deals with the life after death. Is there a hell? Is there a heaven? What happens to your soul? It's about communicating with the afterlife. After Forever: The bands personal statement towards god. Funny enough the band was blamed for blasphemy because that one. It's a pro christian song. Am I Going Insane (Radio): Radio rental = mental. Hence "Am I Going Insane (radio)" means "Am I Going Insane (mental)". Back Street Kids: Rock'n'Roll music as the only philosophy! Back To Eden: Is it to idealistic to hope that we can return a simpler, more altruistic time when peace was the norm? Buried Alive: A guy is told everything. He is told what to do and what not to do. So he screams for help. The world becomes a coffin to him who is to be closed soon. Cardinal Sin: There are those religious leaders who preach one thing whilst practising another. Children Of The Grave: What happens to the children when the parents don't change their way of life? Computer God: The world is ruled by computers. The Computer becomes god and names become numbers. Humanity becomes computerized. Cornucopia: Cornucopia comes from Latin ('cornu copiae') and means same as 'Fullhorn' (u with dots) in German. Cornucopia is of course a symbol/ metaphor of wealth and fertility. The name is more than sufficient since the song criticizes the so called modern prosperity. Cross Of Thorns: The anger and frustration felt in Ireland by the young people under the pressure of religious intolerance. Dirty Woman: The never ending hunger for sex. Disturbing The Priest: The idea to that title came up during the recordings of "Born Again" while Sabbath were rehearsing in the near of a church. Every day a parson came up andcomplaints about the loud music wich disturbs him. Dying For Love: The pain felt by ordinary people in war-torn Yugoslavia. Evil Eye: In today's society, nobody is safe from unwelcome intrusion into their private lives. Fairies Wear Boots: A song that was written after Black Sabbath had been kicked off by a group of skinheads. Headless Cross: A true story that happend in the Middle Ages while the pestilence was going through europe. A small village called "Headles Cross" also was amazed with that illness. Instead of doing something against it the people only went to the hill of the headless cross where they prayed to god for help. No one survived. I: An individual declaration for independance. I need nobody to help me. I'm invincible. I Witness: This deals with the way in which youngsters today are hounded by religious fanatics. Immaculate Deception: A tale of religious deception. Into The Void: About the environment which is more and more destroyed by the modern society. Iron Man: A man makes a time travel into the future of the world. He sees the apocalypse. When he comes back he tries to warn the world but nobody takes care of him. So he gets mad and has revenge on mankind. In the end it becomes clear that he is the reason for the apocalypse. Letters From Earth: This songs is inspired by many letters Black Sabbath received. Letters from people who are in prison, who live in the real world. It's for ordinary people so they can see that Black Sabbath understand their problems. Master Of Insanity: The song is about what we as human beings are doing to the rest of humanity and what we are doing to our planet. All the problems that no one seems to want to address - Aids, overpopulation, acid rain, people living on the streets - are represented in Master Of Insanity. The way to defeat it is by reaching out to other people and doing something for the world around you. N.I.B.: The devil fells in love with a human and becomes a total different person. The title has nothing to do with the content of the song. Paranoid: The story of a loser who isn't able to fit in the real life. Psychophobia: Extreme cults can easily influence and mislead impressionable kids in todays society. Rock'n'Roll Doctor: A psychiatrist who heals the people with the help of Rock'n'Roll music. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: An execution of a soul. Sins Of The Father: A child who loves his father more than evrything else. Sadly enough, his father has done many mistakes. But the child has to learn to live alone, to be hisself and to walk out of the shadow of his father. Be your own person, fly with your own wings! Supernaut: Mankinds great dream to reach one day the stars. The Hand That Rocks The Cradle: The horrific story of nurse Beverly Allit, responsible for the deaths of number of children. The Seventh Star: An old idea how the world goes on. Things comes and things go it's an never ending turning/circle. The seventh star marks the seventh coming or going of the world! Time Machine: Don't only do what other people tell you. Make your own decisions and attitudes. You only have to dream a little bit more. Too Late: A guy who has made a pact with the devil. He is able to get everything he wants. But in the end he has to pay. He tries to escape that curse, but it's too late. Trashed: The text is written by Ian Gillan and describes his experience with an accident he had with his car during the recording of "Born Again". He was drunken. TV Crimes: A song about TV preachers who take as much money as possible from the people. Televangelist, a "give-me-eight-million-dollars- or-I'm-gonna-die" track. It's a crime. Virtual Death: If you're not careful, you can get lost in a confused of mind. War Pigs: The deduction with the politicians who send their innocent citizens into the wars.
