A demo version of “Black Sabbath,” performed in 1970 and released in 1997. The demo version contains an additional third verse. The bass and guitar are tuned down a whole step, giving an even darker sound than the final version.
[Verse 1]
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, no! Oh!
[Verse 2]
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, God, please, help me! Oh, no! No!
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Child cries out for its mother
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh no! Oh, God!
[Outro]
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No, no, please God, no!
