Iceman24 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) I realised we don't have a thread for one of the most bad ass songs ever and definitely the most epic song ever. Black Sabbath's Sign Of The Southern Cross. This songs shows why Dio is probably the best singer ever. I love it. Awesome accoustic guitar intro and awesome riff by Tony Iommi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVZUFtB_38And awesome lyrics:If there isnt light when no one seesThen how can I know what you might believe? A story told that cant be realSomehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeahFade away, fade awayVanish into smallFade away, fade awayBreak the crystal ball - oh!Its the signFeels like the time!On a small world, west of wonderSomwhere, nowhere allTheres a rainbow that will shimmerWhen the summer fallsIf an echo darts in dancerWhen it hears a certain songThen the beast is free to wanderBut never is seen aroundAnd its the sign of the southern crossIts the sign of the southern crossAll rightSail awayTo the signOhhFrom the book, the word is spokenWhispers from forgotten psalmsGather all around the young onesThey will make us strongReach above your dreams of pleasureGiven life to those who diedLook beyond your own horizonsSail the ship of signsAnd its the sign of the southern crossIts the sign of the southern crossFade away, fade awayBreak the crystal ballFade away, fade awayI cant accept it anymoreOn a real world, west of wonderSomwhere, nowhere allTheres a rainbow, see it shimmerWhen the summer fallsFrom the book, the word is spokenWhispers from forgotten psalmsGather all around the young onesThey will make us strong!Its the sign of the southern crossIts the sign of the southern crossDont live for pleasureMake life your treasureFade away!Eight miles high, about to fallAnd no one there to catch youLook for the sign, the timeThe sign of the southern cross, yeah Edited October 25, 2007 by Iceman24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman24 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 If an echo darts in dancer"If an echo doesn't answer..."Yeah, I always wondered what that should mean. But check out lyrics sites all over the internet. It always says the thing I wrote.And Sandman. Come on, mate. u can't say Ozzy was the better singer. I mean, I lvoe Ozzy, but you gotta have some ear problems if you think he's the better singer. Dio is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Amazing song. One of the best from Sabbath, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke Well, no further comment And to Raw Power.Who cares if it's Black Sabbath or not. It's not about what the name of a band is. It's about what songs they make. It's about good music and the music I hear when I listen to Dio era is fuckin' incredible. Edited October 26, 2007 by Iceman24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Dio is clearly a much, much better singer than Ozzy. By miles.I do actually prefer Ozzy in Sabbath, but there's no denying that Dio is one awesome voacalist. Damn, I'm totally gonna have to put on Holy Diver later now. It's been too long since I played that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Great song. I love the live version on Live Evil that comes in the middle of Heaven and Hell. Live Evil is such an underated album. Toni is absolutely on fire and Dio is amazing as always--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) Best Sabbath song, and one of the best songs ever IMO. It's just all around perfect. Edited October 26, 2007 by Powerage5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
