What is this... that stands before me?

Awesome. Thanks Rebekah ;)

Mention of playing Black Sabbath loud in the car sparked me into realising I didn't have much in the way of Sabbath music anymore - only a copy of 1983's Born Again, which Sabbath purists bemoan for having Ian Gillan at the mike.

But anyway, I realised that the tapes were probably in the attic but then maybe not - and anyhow, I wasn't going to to go rummage only to have to dig out the old JVC tapedeck and wire it all up again. So easy option - Amazon :)

And what is this... that plays before me?

Black Sabbath - the eponymously titled debut track - wicked !!

Anyone remember the parody on Neil's Heavy Concept Album? The intro to that mad old track "Lentil Nightmare" ? Oh nevermind. OH NOOOoooooo...

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn ’round quick and start to run
Find out I’m the chosen one

OH, NOOOoooooo

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there, he’s smiling
Watch those flames get higher and higher

Oh, no, no, please god help me

Is it the end my friend?
Satan’s coming ’round the bend
People running ’cause they’re scared
You people better go and beware

No, no, please, no

Now I got to go listen to "Master of Reallity" and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". "Never Say Die" should be here tomorrow :D

Oh Yeah ;)
