LETRA
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 and Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, the 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
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
How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
and the master is calling your name
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm?
does the talisman protect you from pain?
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 no escaping the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud
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, oh no, oh
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
At the Headless Cross, oh, at the Headless Cross
Where will you run to?
At the Headless Cross
Look, to the Headless Cross

This song is so underrated. Headless Cross is an album that needs more love in general.
yesssss!
always been one of my favorites. Tony Martin era does not get enough respect
agreed!
Exactly
It's a great álbum.
Cozy Powell on the drums and Tony Martin on vocals. 👍
Neil Murray on bass as well
You know something? It is possible to like Black Sabbath álbuns with Ozzy, Dio, Gillan, Hughes and Martin. Don't tell anybody, it's our secret!
A secret that's safe with everyone in ths comment section lol
Tony Martin sounds INCREDIBLE here! What an absolute beast.
Yea... totally. Lol
Not hitting ANY of his high notes. Not even remotely trying and shamming his way through the chorus. Lol
He doesn't even bother to reproduce his section as it was on studio recording.
@@angryalanrants9574 he was really sick on this tour.. so considering he sounds amazing.. check him out now if you want to see awful
He sounds like shit compared to the album.....
@@angryalanrants9574 in his defence, in Moscow they played two shows a day during the clod Russian winter. So I kinda can understand Martin's poor performance here. If you want to hear him sound better check out the bootlegs
Pure awesomeness. Tony Martin is a true artist. A great singer!
This is better than ozzys vocals
Oh man....😂😂😂😂
Headless Cross= pure magic. Tony Martin's era of Black Sabbath is very underrated and this album is one of the best albums ever made. The song is amazing it has so much atmosphere in it. I really love Sabbath, Coven, Cloven Hoof carried it on for awhile. A lot of bands disappear after a smash. Go back in time to 1969 and 1970 Sabbath released two worldwide huge ones BLACK SABBATH and PARANOID and they are landmarks, masterworks, brilliant. I think this era carried on great from that era and also the wonderful era of Dio. I will never get over the loss of RJD. It broke my heart and still does. He is one of the best and you can hear the influence he had on the band with Tony Martin's vocals which carry that era on a bit. One thing, though, Tony couldn't or didn't reach for and hit the high screams in the studio version. That's really a shame, but he does sing the lower range and middle range brilliantly.
I made a video stating the same opinion. Headless Cross is probably the #1 Underrated Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal album ever. And don't get me started on how criminally underrated Tony Martin is.
Yeah losing Ronnie was fuckn rough.Its still depressing ten years later,But this is a kickass album given by Sabbath.
Tony Martin, my favorite Sabbath head, you deserve so much more man. I will cheer for the day when your albums get remastered for all to consume
I came from the future to say that this happened
He's getting it now! Well deserved Tony, you wrote such amazing songs!!
The BEST Sabbath singer... With all due respect to Ozzy, Ronnie and the guys from DP... And one of the greatest singers EVER! I had the privilege of seeing him live in 2007, he simply blew my mind. Long live Tony Martin
Я согласен! 👍 Я ходил на их концерт в 1989 году, это было прекрасное выступление, и Тони Мартин - лучший 👏
@@anatoly_edeltau-kolm завидую)) Я был слишком мал, чтобы на концерты ходить))
@@acarbonbasedlifeform70 , мне было 14 лет) В том году в нашу страну приезжали Yngwie Malmsteen & Joe Lynn Turner, Black Sabbath, Skid Row, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Scorpions.. Отличное было время!
Define best.
This is one of my favorite Black Sabbath songs, and the album, my favorite one.
I love each of the Sabbath's albums.
Gran vocalista. Tony martin. Excelente
Был на этом концерте. Прилетал на самолете специально. Круто. Коззи тоже хорош был. ( Усть- Каменогорск любит хороший РОК!
In the future, year 2024, Tony Martin finally is recognised.
For those of you complaining about pre-recorded vocals, that part has a harmony, and it wouldn't sound right sung by just one voice. And AFAIK a single man cannot sing 2 melodies at the same time.
JazzMan Rob Halford would make it sound just fine live.
it doesn't matter!!! it's a great performance!!
Tell that to Bruce and Halford, the ripper, ozzy, Barlow, .. i mean seriously.. was that a real excuse ?
Totally right who is complaining about that or your comment just didn't know how music and harmony works.
It's impossible to a human sing two notes at the same time....
A powerful voice,,
👍👍👍👍
Had they called the band who made this album "Headless cross" instead of Black Sabbath, everybody would be regarding this as one of the top 10 heavy metal of all time, but the brand name association spoiled it, this is lesson why rebranding is important sometimes.
Bass line under drums is perfect.
Cozy powel fantastic
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 \m/
To all of you who think that this is a bad singing, just have in mind that Martin sang for 20 consecutive days, two concerts a day, on this Russia tour. He was amazing in the 80's, but obviously something happened to his voice in the 90's. He pushed himself too hard, I think.
His singing is good. Accurate in tonality, and dynamic, only the bridge before chorus, in original he sang up in octave. But he improvised in lower range and it is fine... For anyone who dont know the process of recording, Dio,Plant, Gillan, everyone, sings a 10, 20, versions of a song or a chorus, and the producers picks the best.For example Graham Bonnet, great singer, never achieved in Alcatraz live versions to sing the same octaves as in studio. Plant very rarely sang -there walks a lady we all know as it was recorded.
I heard that he had throat surgery in the early 90s, and something went wrong during it. That could explain why his singing declined afterword.
He was a great singer.
He was sick during the Cross Purposes tour and had a throat infection, but anyway he sung all the gigs. That is when he lost his voice. On the forbidden album his voice his rougher and he avoid hitting high notes.
On the following tour he is merely ok. After this he was good in studio and just ok on tours.
There's an amateur video of Sabbath performing in the Netherlands in 1990, imo his best live performance. Shame that his most famous concert isn't the one where he gave his best performance
I love this song, incredible album. One of the very best.
This music is a Masterpiece!
man he really sounded so much better here than the cross purposes tour 1994!
He was sick in that tour and the never canceled a concert because of that. A true hero for his fans.
True. Saw them in Newport wales and was obvious he was not on song. Admire the show must go on attitude.
Love the albums with Tony!
The Headless Cross, Tyr and also Cross Purposes are magnificent!
Best voice beneath Ronnie!
Ozzy made 7 dislakes... Best lineup and album!
👍
Eternal Idol is the best in my book.
You're right man!
Ozzy? What are you smoking? This is Tony Martin.
@@Carl0309 Read comment again,man.
Cozy was amazing!!!!!!!!!!
The HEADLESS CROSS AND THE ETERNAL IDOL are two great album's his other work with SABBATH is good all of SABBATH album's are kick ass ROCK AND ROLL. I got to see TONY with SABBATH about six times he always put on a good show .I seen OZZY AND DIO over six times but under ten and with OZZY about ten not counting he's solo career they were all good for me OZZY then DIO then Tony . I am glad to have seen my favorite band .LONG LIVE ROCK my FRIENDS
I could never work out why the critics gave tony martin such a hammering!!! fine singer / looked the part / good onstage / that lineup and albums were very good - saying he had all the charisma of a jar of worms is just plain wrong - he and that line up are worthy of reinvestigation/ rehabilitation - they just wouldnt give him the time of day
Black Sabbath is Tony Iommi!
I saw this tour at De Montfort Halls, Leicester. Magic
what a singer, one of the few people on whom mullet actually looks perfect... and 3rd day beard, and the voice...
He flakes out on the one note I looked this up for :(
Bit rough mate. Sometimes it’s not on based on night before etc. btw not a fan of him in general but vocals are the hardest instrument to use if unwell or off song
Love tony..from Malaysia with love
Tony is just WOUAH 💕WOUAH 💥today 2021, pleasure listening him🔥Perfectly ‼️🙏that is Music‼️🤷♀️🎵And Singers, Ronnie, Glenn, Ray, Tony, Ian🔥❤️Fans Russie🙏oh, yes💥🎵vidéo 👍ok, great🎶Thanks🤘
Actually Cozy is the one who makes the song live and Tony Iommy of course. Cozy's energy makes the song sound better. He is lead all the time and because his playing the songs rises. And that is why Dio didn't like Cozy, Dio had a high ego.
It is true
Yes, Cozy was great drummer.
An incredible lineup of Sabbath. Im not sure why it gets lost in the Sabbath catalogue
Awesome song and album!
Great singer
Great voice
Neil Murray killing it on bass.
Cozy Powell killing it on drums.
Tony Martin hitting zero high notes. Letting the audience hit all the high notes because he cannot. He sings well, but, steers clear of any of those high notes live.
the backing vocal is Geoff Nicholls
tambien usaban samplers...
He is considered the fifth man and what talent TONY IOMMI knows talent because of his great talent .
This was an excellent album...it featured Tony Martin when he could still sing...he had the range back then but slowly had to ad lib and it became less impressive...I loved all the albums with him singing but live he was lacking...I'm 66yrs old and a musician myself so I know all aspects of making an album but it's the live concerts that sold those albums...I've toured with many bands over the years but like my anonymity these days...met Tony and liked him immensely and I know him well enough that he would agree with me..peace
When Sabbath was great 🤘
Я был на этом концерте в Олимпийском.Класс!Только вот звук был не очень хороший(мощности для такого зала явно не хватало)
Probably influenced by RJD, great singers both. Dio is/was special thou. R.I.P RJD!
@loouuni He sounded great in 1994 too, case is the 'Cross Purposes Live' video, was shot when Martin had a cold. He wanted to postpone the shooting of a concert video, but as often in Sabbath's history, the record company etc. was working against them, and wouldn't allow it.
Amazing
Espectacular!!!
Это круто!

canta pra caralho 🤘
Awesome.
мой любимый трек у саббатов
Such an awesome song... on the CD record. Hearing that the live performance has vocal playback is so sad.
4:06
very good song. and sounds like white sabbath :-)
tony sings well but not doomy, but healthy :-)
tony wrote many good songs. his songwriting skill is special.
i like his songs and almost his album i have.
original sabbath is good but i also like dio and martin.
anno mundi, lawmaker, jerusalem, headless cross, black moon, i witness, cross of thorns, i wan't cry for you, and more!
Foda!!!!
why only 257? That's just wrong, this video is great!
Yo no se que len a Ozzy, tal vez la payasada, Tony inmenso 🤘🤘
Black Snake or white sabbath ??
I loved this guy when he was on X-Files and Californication.
Set Abominae Jesus Christ, he really does look like David Duchovny.
Clearly RJ Dio was a great influence to Tony Martin.
Almost invariably there are high and low end performances on each Sabbath album regardless of material or line-up. Then comes along...
...a masterwork of thematic elements each and all playing seemlessnessly to, for and with each other that creates and gives us a cohesive unit that neither wants or needs anything else from anywhere else. This is what we have in "Headless Cross", a song and album both that say meet us and hear us on our own terms.
There is nothing wanting on nor in any element of this masterstroke of both the song nor the album. It is also the rare album that particularly shines as a must-hear, start to finish, in headphones. The mix is genuinely that good.
If you haven't been turned onto a good Sabbath album lately, then this is the one.
oh boy he couldn't pull it off live. Tuned down a half step and he didn't sing any of the high stuff that you hear on the record. He avoids the high parts with the excuse of letting the audience sing. Shame cause he sounds so great on the CD
Daniel MacFarlane funny how everyone moaning about the live vocal never complain about the doubling of rhythm guitar under lead solos in studio recordings of bands with only one guitarist.
Daniel MacFarlane the studio version is in Eb not E standard
Daniel MacFarlane amazing how a studio can mix a voice to sound good then it's shown for what it's worth live
Martin should have just sung that "Heeeaaadleeess croooooss" part himself. Otherwise a good performance.
the high harmony is satan, hiding behind the curtain, he sings all the high parts of most metal bands, except poison, cuz they suck, see?
Vinny Angell ... best comment of all time!!!
Vinny Angell Poison is not metal so Satan doesn't worry about them.
Cool as wellknown
sick performance, too bad the audio not give it justice
Holy Shite!
Cozy😢
Nichols
Nice backing vocals!??
They sound like they are playback from the album, actually
" When the night Satan's Visit "
he couldn't hit his studio notes in 1989...too bad...
detracts severely
Good performance. But he is not doing ANY of the higher pitch vocals....
When you are there, you are there for it....especially live shows.
not good
Guitarist's name anyone??
He is really good in videos. But a bit awkwatd live. Thy need to gove him a stand up microphone. Something to hold on to. This handheld microphpne ruins the look
So, who sings "the headless cross" line? 🤔
Geoff Nichols, The Keyboard player. He had to do it, cause Tony Martin couldn’t duplicate the note live
It's a pre-recorded tape
@@danielthenorwegianguy Wrong, Tony Martin could do it, as demonstrated here. ruclips.net/video/gxfuVp5qD4Q/видео.html
Tony completely slacking here. Doesnt even come close to the higher notes at all. And whats with the pre recorded chorus line? He's not even trying.
But if you watch him live he has NEVER done the high notes.
I think once he was out of the studio he couldn't do it
You're wrong mate, look for Sabbath Stones live....and you will change your mind.
@SilverTounge85
ah okay good to know ;)
A stand up microphone would suot him better. The handheld ones look awkward
Is there any video on the whole internet where Tony actually sang the chorus high notes or at least tried to? OK, forget about the chorus, did he ever sing live the wonderful part (on original notes) : ".. Of the masses appointed to die..."? That's all I ask.
Look at the live version of a solo tony martin live cover of headless cross. He's got a backing singer there who sings the high notes.
No. I've searched the Internet high and low for live versions of this and he never hits or even attempts to hit the high notes. It's always a prerecorded excerp from the album or something backing singer. On every RUclips video you get someone in the comments say he was sick on this gig/tour but the real reason is he was able to do it once in the studio but it was just too high for his voice to risk trying to hit it live
Live in Hammersmith Palladium 1989.
@@kerriloid_ Thank you!!
@@mcclausky ruclips.net/video/gxfuVp5qD4Q/видео.htmlfeature=shared he the hits high notes in "when death calls", and "devil and daughter". Phenomenal show
Эх, такие верха там на студийке прописал перед припевами (и в них), а на лайве даже близко повторить не может. :(
Ничего удивительного ! Живь|е концерть| - ето и аппаратура другая , и переездь| , и количество концертов в турне , и настроение и усталость и тд и тп .
A back track all the way back then?? I'm super disappointed.
EM 94 Martin ainda estava ,então o Dio voltou depois
Osmanir Bispo não mano, o Dio voltou em 1991, e com o Sabbath eles lançaram o álbum Dezumanizer, Tony Martin voltou para a banda em 1994 e ficou até a volta do Ozzy em 1997
Is this when Black Sabbath went glam for a while?
sofakingdrunk66 definitely not glam. More power metal or traditional heavy metal.
quien hace los coros?
pre-recorded tape
I don´t Understand: if you can´t sing this song live, on stage...why the hell you sing it on studio absolutely amazing. Don´t sign on studio that never sing on stage.
If you mean the "headless cross" part during the chorus. That was from keyboardist Geoff Nicholls, who was behind the curtain during this tour.
Oh no, Tony Iommi was high again
94 Monsters of Rock, Martin crapped all songs. Too bad, because - Bill and Geezer were there.
кто это за чудо ?
do you know any other respecting word apart AWESAME, lamer?
Nunca alcanzo los tonos del disco de estudio como dio y ozzy
mario santiago Ozzy no alcanza los altos y bajos de los discos de estudio desde la gira del disco "Sabotage" (1975-76), debido a la agresividad y altas inflexiones vocales de las canciones Ozzy se arruino la voz..El mismo lo dice en su autobiografia , es por eso que tambien odia dicho album
+mario santiago Ozzy nunca alcanzó nada, además su voz es demasiado básica, no hay punto de comparación con el gran Tony.
ridiculo decir esto pones a Ozzy que no canta una mierda y lo poco que canta es completamente plano como ejemplo de alcanzar las notas altas como en estudio cuando es sabido que hace bajar las tonalidades de las canciones para poder cantar y ni asi.
Studio version is far far better.
