give me liufe( the sacred), you keep the material things in this life. if i have it is much a relfection of the wine ive been givin. let there be light.
Man, people are going to think I'm taking this too far but this is in my opinion the best Black Sabbath song ever made, if this was released on Paranoid or Master of Reality it would blow any other track on those albums out of the water.
+CanisCanemEdit I would argue if it´s the best or not. But defenetely, had this been released on those albums, it would be a classic hailed as much as War Pigs.
+CanisCanemEdit agreed,i had master of reality on vinyl when it was released. i cant get enough of this. i listen two to 4 in row each morn. i love sabbath and have since 1974
Lost in the darkness I fade from the light Faith from my brother, my father, my maker and savior Help me make it through the night Blood on my conscience and murder in mind Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom Now my body is my shrine The blood runs free The rain turns red Give me the wine, you keep the bread The voices echo in my head is God alive or is God dead? is God dead? Rivers of evil Run through dying land Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal and borrow There is no tomorrow For the sinners will be damned Ashes to ashes You cannot exhume a soul Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust Leaves you empty and unwhole When will this nightmare be over? Tell me! When can I empty my head? Will someone tell me the answer? Is God really dead? Is God really dead? To safeguard my philosophy Until my dying breath I transfer from reality Into a living dead I empathize with enemies until the timing's right With God and Satan at my side From darkness will come light I watch the rain as it turns red Give me the wine I don't need bread These riddles that live in my head I don't believe that God is dead! God is dead? Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Wondering if we will meet again on the other side Do you believe a word Of what the good book says Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead? God is dead! God is dead! God is dead! God is dead Right! But still the voices in my head Are telling me that God is dead The blood pours down The rain turns red I don't believe that God is dead God is dead! God is dead! God is dead! God is dead!
Its amazing how, with Metal having evolved and grown so diverse in the last 40 years, Sabbath releases a new song and blows 90% of it out of the water. Genius is timeless.
Maceta that's just how it works. As time goes by things always get more diverse not just metal but everything, this is partly due to acceptance of things and less strictness. Something easy to remember that's appliable to mostly 1st world countries
"Do you believe a word, what the good book says? Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead?" Geezer Butler could be a builder given the precision with which he hit that nail on the head.
Ozzy originally wanted the lyrics to be a lot darker and anti religious more in line with Nietzsches world views but then Geezer Butler was all like "But half of us are catholic! We can't make a song with anti religious undertones!" so they changed the whole song to be about questioning Nietzsches statement "God is dead" and added a ? at the end too make it a question rather than a statement. True story. Still an awesome song though.
TakeTo TheShadows Ozzy- "I was at somebody's office and there was a magazine on the table and it just said the words 'God Is Dead.' And I suddenly thought, with 9/11 and all these terrorist things in the name of religion and how many people have died [because of] religion, when you think about the tragedy that's happened throughout time, it just came in me head. You would think by now their God would stop people [from] dying in the name of. So I just thought, people must think there ain't no God, God is dead. And it just hit me. And I just started singing 'God is dead' [when I was laying down] rough vocals [in the studio] and Geezer gave me the lyrics about it. Geezer is the lyricist in Black Sabbath," he continued; "I wrote a few sets of lyrics, but he's the main lyricist. I come up with the ideas and he fills the blanks in. At the end of the [song], there's still a bit of hope, because at the end, I sing, 'I don't believe that God is dead.' It's just a question of when you see something dreadful like people killing each other with bombs and blowing tube trains or the World Trade Center, you think people must go, 'There is no God.' [But] it's a load of B.S., you know."
TakeTo TheShadows Tom Araya, the singer and lead songwriter for Slayer, is a devout Catholic. That's never stopped him from using a pentagram in the band's logo and writing songs like "Altar of Sacrifice", "Jesus Saves" and any of their songs dealing with serial killers, because he knows he can separate his beliefs from his lyrics. Geezer just needs to learn to relax. (Though I agree, the song is still amazing; it's quickly become my favorite Sabbath song).
please read Nietzsche books before take superficially that statement i hate the lyrics because that statement is not about being dark or satanic or hate god it is about god compassion and it was so compassive with the man that it kills him. And also just because it says that statement they put a nuclear explotion and the face of Nietzsche like a fucking fever dark man puking violet liquid !?
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
As a Christian I love this song the story of a man going through bad things and debating his faith is excellent and it’s all capped off with the final line “The blood pours down the rain turns red I don’t believe that God is Dead” a nice representation of one overcoming Satans lies and trickery and keeping their faith excellent song and some of the best lyrics Sabbath ever wrote which is saying something combine that with a classic Iommi riff and you’ve got a classic Black Sabbath tune.
Yeah the band shows the dark side of everything like even the name black sabbath isn’t satanic it’s just showing a dark side to Christianity and so on so on it doesn’t mean they aren’t Christian though
Excellent show and the sound was crystal clear. Seen kids from 5 yrs old to adults 70 yrs old. No fights, everyone was polite, and Sabbath kicked ass at the DTE Energy Music Theater. Paranoid for the last song as I suspected it would be. Thank you Sabbath! But I kept smelling skunks all concert long, big time!

This is my favorite song off this album. The riffs are vintage Sabbath. Perfect in its composition. Proof Positive that Black Sabbath is ,was,& always shall be THE GREATEST BAND EEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!PERIOD!!!
Ozzy... I hope you are well atm and I hope everything will be good in the end. I'm from Romania and I listen to a lot of music, almost any style of music as long as it is art. Thank you for your music, you are a SPECIAL SOUL in this world. Im 33 y old and i listened to Black Sabbath for a few years until now. In the last 2 or 3 years I began to listen to old music from 70-80 etc and I discovered incredible stuff like Bob Marley, Black Sabbath, Ministry, etc...at this age I begin to understand your songs a lot better...God is dead? is one of the top 3 rock songs in our lifetime...no matter what age we are in. Thank you.
My husband is christian and I'm atheist. We're brazilians and he don't speak english very well. I always listen this music at home and one day he asked me: "What this song is saying about god? It's not saying that god is dead, is it?". I answered: "Of course not! The song is saying that god is THERE". He believed for a while lol.
Pioneering rock theater and pure musicianship is what made Black Sabbath one-off legends that many borrowed from, copied and followed. Strains of their beats and themes reverberate through heavy rock even today. Like the genre or not, the talent and legacy is staggering and undeniable!
I never once mentioned my beliefs. For all you know I could be a vehement anti-theist. I made an objective observation and shared it with you. You`ve only gone on the offensive towards anything you don`t agree with, even if it was obviously a joke.
Seen them twice on the last month taking my total up to 3. Hopefully there's a lot more to come. Amazing as always. This album is a credit to the band.
Lost in the darkness, I fade from the light. Faith of my father my brother my maker and savior. Help me make it through the night. Blood on my conscience and murder in mind. Out of the gloom I rise up my tomb into impending doom. Now my body is my shrine. The blood runs free, the rain turns red. Give me the wine, you keep the bread. The voices echo in my head. Is god alive or is god dead? Is god dead? Rivers of evil run through dying land. Swimming in sorrow they kill steal and borrow. There is no tomorrow. For the sinners will be damned. Ashes to ashes, you can not exhume a soul. Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust leaves you empty and unwhole? When will this nightmare be over? Tell me. When can I empty my head? Will someone tell me the answer, is god really dead? Is god really dead? To safeguard my philosophy until my dying breath. I transfer from reality into a living death. I empathize with enemies until the time is right. With God and Satan at my side, from darkness will come light. I watch the rain and it turns red. Give me the wine I don't need bread. These riddles that live in my head. I don't believe that god is dead. God is dead. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Wondering if we will meet again on the other side. Do you believe a word what the good book said? Or is it just a holy fairytale and god is dead? God is dead. God is dead. God is dead. God is dead. Right. But still the voices in my head are telling me that god is dead. The blood pours down, the rain turns red. I don't believe that god is dead. God is dead. God is dead. God is dead.
Anyone care to recommend more bands with this dark tone? I really love this dark heavy tone and so many metal bands seem to lack it... (Before you ask I've listened extensively to Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator and Annihilator).
Great song! It feels like old Sabbath from the Paranoid era. I like it because it doesn't sound like Ozzy solo or post-Ozzy Sabbath. Don't get me wrong, Heaven and Hell & Blizzard of Oz are in my top ten metal albums of all time. It's just enjoyable to hear these guys go back to their roots. Peace. JR
It is neither pro Atheist and against Atheism, it describes the mental confusion, about weather God is dead or not. It is open to interpretation. However you're right in that is not at all endorsing Atheism, but it does raise questions.
Anyone who thinks a famous group of anything is going to openly support Atheism is very likely to be incorrect. It's improbable considering they would be risking to lose a lot of fans, specially in this genre where you usually find people who still believe in some form of magic and other superstitions, often amongst those who like to call themselves "goths".
Lost in the darkness 빛을 피해 숨고 I fade from the light 어둠 속에서 길을 잃었네 Faith of my father, my brother, my maker and savior 내 아버지, 형제, 신과 구원자의 신념이 Help me make it through the night 밤을 견딜 수 있도록 해주네 Blood on my conscious 피로 물든 의식과 And murder in mind 내 마음속 잔혹함 Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom 어둠이 걷히고 내 도래한 죽음의 무덤에서 일어나니 Now my body is my shrine 이제 내 육신은 나의 것 The blood runs free 빗물은 붉게 변하고 The rain turns red 피가 되어 내리네 Give me the wine 내게 와인을 주게 You keep the bread 빵은 자네가 가져 The voices echo in my head 내 머릿속에 목소리가 울려퍼제네 Is god alive or is god dead? 신은 살았는가? 죽었는가? Rivers of evil 마(魔)의 강에 빠지고 Run through dying land 죽음의 땅에 발을 디디니 Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal, and borrow. There is no tomorrow 비탄 속에 허우적대지만 살상과 약탈, 탈취만이 있을 뿐이니 For the sinners will be damned 저주 받을 죄인들을 위한 내일은 없어 Ashes to ashes 육신이 재가 되어도 You cannot exhume a soul 자넨 영혼만을 구원할 순 없지 Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust 타락과 욕망, 옳지 못한 신념이 자넬 사로잡아 Leaves you empty and unwhole? 공허하고 탁기어린 곳에 버렸을 땐 누굴 믿을 텐가 When will this nightmare be over? Tell me 이 악몽은 언제 끝나는가? 말해주게 When can I empty my head? 언제쯤 내 머릿속이 차분해질지? Will somebody tell me the answer? 누군가 내게 말해주게 Is god really dead? 정말로 신은 죽었는가? To safeguard my philosophy 죽는 순간까지 until my dying breath 나의 사상을 지키려 I transfer from reality 정신을 피폐 하게끔 하는 into a mental death 현실로부터 떨어졌지 I empathize with enemy 내 선과 악의 이중성, until the timing’s right 어둠과 빛의 구분이 없어지는 With God and Satan at my side 그 때가 도래하기 전까진 from darkness will come light 내 사상에 반대하는 이들에 동조할 수밖에 없겠어 I watch the rain 내리는 비가 And it turns red 붉게 변하는 것이 보이네 Give me more wine 내게 와인을 더 주게 I don’t need bread 빵은 됐어 These riddles that live in my head 내 머릿속 수수께끼가 맴돌지만 I don’t believe that god is dead 난 신이 죽었다고 믿지 않아 Nowhere to run 도망칠 곳도 Nowhere to hide 숨을 곳도 없어 Wondering if we will me again 우리가 저세상에서 on the other side 재회할지 의문이야 Do you believe a word 자넨 what the Good Book said? 성서의 말을 믿나? Or is it just a holy fairytale 아니면 동화 이야기로 치부해버리고 and god is dead? 신은 죽었다고 믿나? God is dead? 신은 죽었는가? Right! But still the voices in my head 아직도 내 머릿속의 목소리가 are telling me that god is dead 신은 죽었다고 말하지 The blood pours down 비는 붉게 변해 The rain turns red 혈루가 되어 내리네 I don’t believe that god is dead 난 신이 죽었다고 믿지 않아 God is dead 믿지 않아
Who the hell you think you are? Ozzy obviously doesn't believe God. Based on all his songs yea he doesn't believe it. Also dont assume what he believes. But I know that Ozzy Osbourne doesn't believe in God. You need to go listen to the rest of his music. Then you will get it right.
+Robert Cunningham Interesting that people interpret the song that way, considering the obvious Nieztche influence in the lyrics. In particular, how do you interpret the third verse to be anything but a criticism of Christianity? As for the chorus, consider that "I don't believe it" is something people say upon the realization of their belief of that thing. The loudest proclamation in the entire song is the repeated "God is dead!" right before the solo, and it's the only time in the song that he's not being told it by something else.
In Christian tradition, bread represents basic, material necessities for life. It symbolizes sustenance and physical survival. Wine, on the other hand, is frequently associated with deeper, spiritual desires or experiences. It is often linked to mystical experiences, the soul's feast, or transcendental states. Thus, rejecting bread in favor of wine might indicate a preference for seeking something beyond mere physical existence-such as spiritual fulfillment or deeper understanding of life. This choice can also reflect a rebellion against conventional material values in favor of more metaphysical or philosophical aspirations.
I love this ALBUM 13.....and my husband died 3 months ago and I AM MAD AT GOD! He was only 45 years old.....married 23 years....3 children ...2 are still teenagers....F all of your philosophical BS....there is a god and I am thinking if my soul mate is not with HIM then I don't want any part of HIM either. The energy that surrounded my house and that proved itself to me after ward was so moveable and thickly intense enough that I can say "there is life after death"...you could only know what I say if you have experienced what I have..
Thank you......I need to write a book "100 ways of getting your shit together." haha! Only have one way right now....ranting on my channels and playing the music we so loved. ;)
Geezer Butler wrote 95% of the lyrics to Sabbath songs. Ozzy has proven to be awesome as his own. And Tony Iommi practically invented metal. So why the fuck would you people want to ruin an awesome song by bitching about the lyrics. Its not religion based. It is enjoyment.
I don't understand this song is too good, it's doomy, but still has just a standard metal tone at the same time and an almost Metallica like clean solo? God can't be dead, he helped write this song.
@@czernm20 The point with the "God is dead" quote is explicitly warning against what will rise in the absence of "God" (by which he means the religion of Christianity itself), nihilism, amorality, etc.

6:18 How can a riff be that good?
Sounds a lot like the main riff from Hole in the Sky
6:36 Another good un
Even in the modern days of heavy metal, which mind you is great, sabbath still hasn't ditched their original style. Good. Very good indeed.
+Ian Hoswell the doom style
Ian Hoswell you dont mess with shit when you sound this goid
I'm surprised that Ozzy can still rock at his age!
Toney Isaiah heavily processed studio vocals. it's a miracle the guy's even able to walk and talk.
@@vincentprakash4891 not sure if the vocals are processed because he still sings in some live shows fine
"give me the wine, you keep the bread." Ozzy rules.

Ozzy is still alive and kicking, Tony Iommi is still playing like a boss, and Geezer Butler is still my favorite bass player to this day.
I love how you praise Tony and Geezer for their geinus talent nad Ozzy for managing to be alive :D :D
This song rules !! Sounds exactly like Sabbath from the 70s.
Much, much better than Thunder struck.....
So, God is alive!
What about the drummer
@@damf5488 that's exactly what I'm wondering, like what about bill ward lol

also got a new jackson bass today, to sound like geezer lol rock on !! LongLiveSabbath!!
Man, people are going to think I'm taking this too far but this is in my opinion the best Black Sabbath song ever made, if this was released on Paranoid or Master of Reality it would blow any other track on those albums out of the water.

39years of Sabbath

continues to move me
I LOVE IT
It's like fresh to my Liken
I just fell in love with Black Sabbath all over again.
Lost in the darkness
I fade from the light
Faith from my brother, my father, my maker and savior
Help me make it through the night
Blood on my conscience
and murder in mind
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom
Now my body is my shrine
The blood runs free
The rain turns red
Give me the wine, you keep the bread
The voices echo in my head
is God alive or is God dead?
is God dead?
Rivers of evil
Run through dying land
Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal and borrow
There is no tomorrow
For the sinners will be damned
Ashes to ashes
You cannot exhume a soul
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust
Leaves you empty and unwhole
When will this nightmare be over?
Tell me!
When can I empty my head?
Will someone tell me the answer?
Is God really dead?
Is God really dead?
To safeguard my philosophy
Until my dying breath
I transfer from reality
Into a living dead
I empathize with enemies until the timing's right
With God and Satan at my side
From darkness will come light
I watch the rain as it turns red
Give me the wine I don't need bread
These riddles that live in my head
I don't believe that God is dead!
God is dead?
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Wondering if we will meet again on the other side
Do you believe a word
Of what the good book says
Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead?
God is dead!
God is dead!
God is dead!
God is dead
Right!
But still the voices in my head
Are telling me that God is dead
The blood pours down
The rain turns red
I don't believe that God is dead
God is dead!
God is dead!
God is dead!
God is dead!
did anyone else hear something different?
no
Give me MORE wine I don't need bread :)

Its amazing how, with Metal having evolved and grown so diverse in the last 40 years, Sabbath releases a new song and blows 90% of it out of the water. Genius is timeless.
damn right, well said; nuf' said.
Because it's real music . Most metal doesn't even feel like music. This is real dark music.
Maceta amen to that! so dark so heavy. how the fuck does geezer write the way he does!?
Maceta that's just how it works. As time goes by things always get more diverse not just metal but everything, this is partly due to acceptance of things and less strictness. Something easy to remember that's appliable to mostly 1st world countries
Maceta more things to be influenced by means more diversity
This is without a doubt by far my favourite Black Sabbath Song

God is supernatural. He is everywhere and he is everything. He is you and me and he is the air.
It's a childish, primitive superstition.
This is an unbelievable master piece, the pureness of a heavy metal song, soft and then very strong, extremely poetic. Just wooooooow.
Riddle me this....how,after all these years, can Iommi still come up w so many damn good riffs?
This song is sick, should be added to classic rock playlists right next to War Pigs and other classics

That original doom style, it's like the sound of metal itself.
Yep, sabbath invented it
As a Christian I love this song the story of a man going through bad things and debating his faith is excellent and it’s all capped off with the final line “The blood pours down the rain turns red I don’t believe that God is Dead” a nice representation of one overcoming Satans lies and trickery and keeping their faith excellent song and some of the best lyrics Sabbath ever wrote which is saying something combine that with a classic Iommi riff and you’ve got a classic Black Sabbath tune.
Ozzy's a Christian (Anglican), his music is dark and makes people think.
This is far from offensive.
Yeah the band shows the dark side of everything like even the name black sabbath isn’t satanic it’s just showing a dark side to Christianity and so on so on it doesn’t mean they aren’t Christian though
This is a group of senior citizens saying "Hey kid hold my beer, we will show you how it is done"
So fucking true
Love y'all crazy assed
This is actually like my second favorite Sabbath song.

In the last 2 or 3 years I began to listen to old music from 70-80 etc and I discovered incredible stuff like Bob Marley, Black Sabbath, Ministry, etc...at this age I begin to understand your songs a lot better...God is dead? is one of the top 3 rock songs in our lifetime...no matter what age we are in. Thank you.
I'm 14 years old and in love with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. Literally grew up listening to them. Parenting, doing it right! :)
Chill man, he's 20 now lmao
matured? let's get acquainted!))
Best part is when he says I don't believe GOD is dead! the back and forth of belief is what makes this CLASSIC!!
Fucking love this song. Heard it at Halloween Horror Nights a few years ago and went on a Black Sabbath binge. 💀🤘🏼🎸
Now from darkness there springs light....
My husband is christian and I'm atheist. We're brazilians and he don't speak english very well.
I always listen this music at home and one day he asked me:
"What this song is saying about god? It's not saying that god is dead, is it?".
I answered:
"Of course not! The song is saying that god is THERE".
He believed for a while lol.
You are unworthy of the man God sent you.
all right I just remenber this song 7 years after, the year is 2013 and i listen this song 10x per day, here we are 2021 and its keep good
he is such an amazing musician
they are such good musicians*
Oh damn this song is a masterpiece
Pioneering rock theater and pure musicianship is what made Black Sabbath one-off legends that many borrowed from, copied and followed. Strains of their beats and themes reverberate through heavy rock even today. Like the genre or not, the talent and legacy is staggering and undeniable!
the truth is in your heart if you look, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find
God`s not dead may Jesus be with you. I`ll be praying for you.
Read the lyrics and you will see it is not anti god and listen to sabbath's other song after forever
Get off your high horse
psycho_sophisticate
what?
God is dead, and we killed him!
Philosophie der Stoa Muahahahahha >:)
I had the chance to hear this song live 2 days ago in Montreal :-p
Your pic show your hapiness
Same here! I was sitting on one of the lower balconies on Tony Iommi's side :b
You two are so lucky.
God isnt Dead he's probably in this chair rockin with this song lml
+Bob Le you dont exist
+Bob Le Based on your comments, you harbour only resentment toward those who disagree with you.
I never once mentioned my beliefs. For all you know I could be a vehement anti-theist. I made an objective observation and shared it with you. You`ve only gone on the offensive towards anything you don`t agree with, even if it was obviously a joke.
Don`t accuse people of not having a brain if you aren`t able to prove you have one either.
+Bob Le 100% agree
Ozzy ,you are right, God left this Earth
Im a Catholic and this is one of my favourite doom metal songs, not gonna lie
Seen them twice on the last month taking my total up to 3. Hopefully there's a lot more to come. Amazing as always. This album is a credit to the band.
Pro atheist or not, the influence of the christian God has decomposed. This is exactly what Nietzsche was talking about.
One the best songs ever that couldnt be released from any band except blacksabbath
Ozzy's voice sounds the best that it ever has, IMO. Might be kind of a controversial opinion but he sounds great here.
Every time Christmas stress gets on my nerves I play this and feel completely relieved.
Lost in the darkness, I fade from the light. Faith of my father my
brother my maker and savior. Help me make it through the night.
Blood on my conscience and murder in mind. Out of the gloom
I rise up my tomb into impending doom. Now my body is
my shrine.
The blood runs free, the rain turns red. Give me the wine, you
keep the bread. The voices echo in my head. Is god alive or is
god dead? Is god dead?
Rivers of evil run through dying land. Swimming in sorrow
they kill steal and borrow. There is no tomorrow. For the
sinners will be damned.
Ashes to ashes, you can not exhume a soul. Who do you trust
when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust leaves you
empty and unwhole?
When will this nightmare be over? Tell me. When can I empty my
head? Will someone tell me the answer, is god really dead?
Is god really dead?
To safeguard my philosophy until my dying breath. I transfer
from reality into a living death. I empathize with enemies until
the time is right. With God and Satan at my side, from darkness
will come light.
I watch the rain and it turns red. Give me the wine I don't need bread.
These riddles that live in my head. I don't believe that god is dead.
God is dead.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Wondering if we will meet
again on the other side. Do you believe a word what the good
book said? Or is it just a holy fairytale and god is dead?
God is dead. God is dead. God is dead. God is dead. Right.
But still the voices in my head are telling me that god is dead.
The blood pours down, the rain turns red. I don't believe that
god is dead.
God is dead. God is dead. God is dead.
The bass part is just incredible!
Anyone care to recommend more bands with this dark tone?
I really love this dark heavy tone and so many metal bands seem to lack it...
(Before you ask I've listened extensively to Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator and Annihilator).
this is the sabbath i knew as a kid! awesome job!
Great song! It feels like old Sabbath from the Paranoid era. I like it because it doesn't sound like Ozzy solo or post-Ozzy Sabbath. Don't get me wrong, Heaven and Hell & Blizzard of Oz are in my top ten metal albums of all time. It's just enjoyable to hear these guys go back to their roots. Peace. JR
Oh, what an amazing Vocals & lyrics & then Music.
Everything is Superb about Black Sabbath!
Death to cruelty in the name of God or any religio/political utopianism. "Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man" - Thomas Paine.
GODS ALIVE AND WELL ladies and gentlemen, at calvery it was all accomplised thanks to JESUS CHRIST, Thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Respect the old men that thrive and survive in a young man's game.
yeeeaaaahhh this is the album that I was waiting
Everybody who thinks this song is pro atheist has no clue about the lyrics or black sabbath in general
unfortunatly it isn't, not completely
.
It is neither pro Atheist and against Atheism, it describes the mental confusion, about weather God is dead or not. It is open to interpretation. However you're right in that is not at all endorsing Atheism, but it does raise questions.
Wether
Anyone who thinks a famous group of anything is going to openly support Atheism is very likely to be incorrect. It's improbable considering they would be risking to lose a lot of fans, specially in this genre where you usually find people who still believe in some form of magic and other superstitions, often amongst those who like to call themselves "goths".
I came for the song, and stayed for all the lovely comments.
Only Geezer can replicate the sound of the 70s 👍 fucking legend of a man, words simply can't do justice to this man's talent !
I love this song so much are there anymore that are similar to it?
I love this song because it changes tempo many times; it almost seems like many "mini" songs put together.
Lost in the darkness 빛을 피해 숨고
I fade from the light 어둠 속에서 길을 잃었네
Faith of my father, my brother, my maker and savior 내 아버지, 형제, 신과 구원자의 신념이
Help me make it through the night 밤을 견딜 수 있도록 해주네
Blood on my conscious 피로 물든 의식과
And murder in mind 내 마음속 잔혹함
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom 어둠이 걷히고 내 도래한 죽음의 무덤에서 일어나니
Now my body is my shrine 이제 내 육신은 나의 것
The blood runs free 빗물은 붉게 변하고
The rain turns red 피가 되어 내리네
Give me the wine 내게 와인을 주게
You keep the bread 빵은 자네가 가져
The voices echo in my head 내 머릿속에 목소리가 울려퍼제네
Is god alive or is god dead? 신은 살았는가? 죽었는가?
Rivers of evil 마(魔)의 강에 빠지고
Run through dying land 죽음의 땅에 발을 디디니
Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal, and borrow. There is no tomorrow 비탄 속에 허우적대지만 살상과 약탈, 탈취만이 있을 뿐이니
For the sinners will be damned 저주 받을 죄인들을 위한 내일은 없어
Ashes to ashes 육신이 재가 되어도
You cannot exhume a soul 자넨 영혼만을 구원할 순 없지
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust 타락과 욕망, 옳지 못한 신념이 자넬 사로잡아
Leaves you empty and unwhole? 공허하고 탁기어린 곳에 버렸을 땐 누굴 믿을 텐가
When will this nightmare be over? Tell me 이 악몽은 언제 끝나는가? 말해주게
When can I empty my head? 언제쯤 내 머릿속이 차분해질지?
Will somebody tell me the answer? 누군가 내게 말해주게
Is god really dead? 정말로 신은 죽었는가?
To safeguard my philosophy 죽는 순간까지
until my dying breath 나의 사상을 지키려
I transfer from reality 정신을 피폐 하게끔 하는
into a mental death 현실로부터 떨어졌지
I empathize with enemy 내 선과 악의 이중성,
until the timing’s right 어둠과 빛의 구분이 없어지는
With God and Satan at my side 그 때가 도래하기 전까진
from darkness will come light 내 사상에 반대하는 이들에 동조할 수밖에 없겠어
I watch the rain 내리는 비가
And it turns red 붉게 변하는 것이 보이네
Give me more wine 내게 와인을 더 주게
I don’t need bread 빵은 됐어
These riddles that live in my head 내 머릿속 수수께끼가 맴돌지만
I don’t believe that god is dead 난 신이 죽었다고 믿지 않아
Nowhere to run 도망칠 곳도
Nowhere to hide 숨을 곳도 없어
Wondering if we will me again 우리가 저세상에서
on the other side 재회할지 의문이야
Do you believe a word 자넨
what the Good Book said? 성서의 말을 믿나?
Or is it just a holy fairytale 아니면 동화 이야기로 치부해버리고
and god is dead? 신은 죽었다고 믿나?
God is dead? 신은 죽었는가?
Right!
But still the voices in my head 아직도 내 머릿속의 목소리가
are telling me that god is dead 신은 죽었다고 말하지
The blood pours down 비는 붉게 변해
The rain turns red 혈루가 되어 내리네
I don’t believe that god is dead 난 신이 죽었다고 믿지 않아
God is dead 믿지 않아
One of the best wrote songs Ever !!!
Such a Killer song! True Sabbath! ;0)
0:30 you can just tell that's Tony Iommi from the first riff.
People need to stop saying that there's no question mark in the title. Ozzy believes in god and so does the rest of the members of Black Sabbath.
Who the hell you think you are? Ozzy obviously doesn't believe God. Based on all his songs yea he doesn't believe it. Also dont assume what he believes. But I know that Ozzy Osbourne doesn't believe in God. You need to go listen to the rest of his music. Then you will get it right.
@@trinitybischoff6006 how fucking ignorant are you :D it's a Well known fact that Ozzy is indeed a believer in god.
this album is awesome
I think it's kinda' hard to believe that his album will be turning 10 years old next month.
give me the wine you keep the bread
Way to go, Ozzy.
He got it right, God is not dead.
+Robert Cunningham Interesting that people interpret the song that way, considering the obvious Nieztche influence in the lyrics. In particular, how do you interpret the third verse to be anything but a criticism of Christianity? As for the chorus, consider that "I don't believe it" is something people say upon the realization of their belief of that thing. The loudest proclamation in the entire song is the repeated "God is dead!" right before the solo, and it's the only time in the song that he's not being told it by something else.
They did an interview with black sabbath, the whole idea of this song is to say that god is not dead.
Again, Saltpeter, attributing your Godless biases towards Black Sabbath. How quaint.
Go listen to After Forever man.
1, salt you need to really relisten to the lyrics, he clearly says i dont beleive that god is dead
And the Lord said and My eyes shall be Black.
The Word Nigger is Dead. ‘ Amen.
You're all going to LOVE sharia law!!!
He sure loves his purple spaghetti!
Been a SABBATH Head since their 1st album in 1970. They rule! !!
In Christian tradition, bread represents basic, material necessities for life. It symbolizes sustenance and physical survival.
Wine, on the other hand, is frequently associated with deeper, spiritual desires or experiences. It is often linked to mystical experiences, the soul's feast, or transcendental states.
Thus, rejecting bread in favor of wine might indicate a preference for seeking something beyond mere physical existence-such as spiritual fulfillment or deeper understanding of life. This choice can also reflect a rebellion against conventional material values in favor of more metaphysical or philosophical aspirations.
New Black Sabbath album please!
Will Never happen
I love this ALBUM 13.....and my husband died 3 months ago and I AM MAD AT GOD! He was only 45 years old.....married 23 years....3 children ...2 are still teenagers....F all of your philosophical BS....there is a god and I am thinking if my soul mate is not with HIM then I don't want any part of HIM either. The energy that surrounded my house and that proved itself to me after ward was so moveable and thickly intense enough that I can say "there is life after death"...you could only know what I say if you have experienced what I have..
You're gonna be okay :)
Thank you......I need to write a book "100 ways of getting your shit together." haha! Only have one way right now....ranting
on my channels and playing the music we so loved. ;)
and bourbon
You're mad at something that doesn't exist? Uh, sorry for your loss, but....
bulnamja thanx.....i love cs Lewis
Geezer's bass tone. Holy Crap.
Forever the Gods that started this music. Hail, the mighty Sabbath. 🤘🏻
Geezer Butler wrote 95% of the lyrics to Sabbath songs. Ozzy has proven to be awesome as his own. And Tony Iommi practically invented metal. So why the fuck would you people want to ruin an awesome song by bitching about the lyrics. Its not religion based. It is enjoyment.
I don't understand this song is too good, it's doomy, but still has just a standard metal tone at the same time and an almost Metallica like clean solo? God can't be dead, he helped write this song.
+RJ Maksym It doesn't need God, it has Sabbath.
It's depressing that so many people absolutely missed Nietzsche's point so utterly and completely.
its the same people that dressed up like little witches and went to sabbath concerts, thinking they're onto something.
what is point of FN in your opinion?
It's saf we still listening to such fool
@@czernm20 The point with the "God is dead" quote is explicitly warning against what will rise in the absence of "God" (by which he means the religion of Christianity itself), nihilism, amorality, etc.
@@jungkinoid8706 Clearly shown by his principles of overcoming the nihilism and more becoming a Ubermensch.
All the best to Tony..an inspiration of a man and a true gentleman.
funny thing ,back in 2010 when i heard dio passed i thought to myself "god is dead?"
Yes! God is dead in our hearts!
Michel Carvalho Dio is not dead, not in our hearts. Legends live forever in our minds and hearts.
yep!
Dio didn't die. He became a legend.
Rynnec Zuhac Dio was already a legend and will remain one forever. RockOn brother. Peace. JR
Lol. Silly Nietzsche is eating purple spaghetti.
Vomiting purple spaghetti, in my opinion.
smh i just want the forbidden spaghetti
