Black Sabbath - The Writ (Lyrics on screen)

This is just a homemade lyric video in HD.

Ozzy's voice takes this song to another level.

[MrVirgilius]

probably, the most underrated song of Black Sabbath

[tru]

Ozzy's voice on the entire album is fantastic

[ericdavidson]

Bought this Album back in 75' when it came out . Still amazed by how Timeless these songs on this record really are ! This Song has always been my favorite one on the album....just a fantastic journey these songs take you on, Musically a Masterpiece ! Ozzy's Voice, Amazing!! Tony's riffs as always original and all his own. No one ever has or will have the chemistry these 4 guys were put together by a higher power to Rock are Ass's Off !✌✌

I wanna salute you and all the people who put Black Sabbath's lyrics on screen. While Iommi's riffs and Ozzy's voice are truly amazing, Geezer Butler was on a mission to express opposition to the evils he saw in society every bit as passionatly as Bob Dylan had done the decade before. And in the words of Dylan "the lyrics are just as important as the music". To see Sabbath as just an early metal band is frustrating to me because they were so much more.

The Writ is unparalleled in the Sabbath catalogue. All four members are at the top of their game. Song is on par with this underrated classic LP, though when I cranked Megalomania on the high school football team bus, the end of the second verse was good for getting me suspended for a game!

[dougfishwick]

The dynamic range on this album and especially this song make this easily sabbaths best effort. Even the track order is spot on with the writ ending this piece of art.

[dougbresky]

Love the lull and the soft instrumental in the middle that is quite amazing. Ozzie seems to taking us to another level in the stratosphere. Love it!!

[bretthopkins]

Man, I don't know which album was better sabotage or sabbath bloody sabbath. Both were sabbath at their best. This song in particular is my favorite

[MegaMekia]

Probably the best Black Sabbath song ever

[CommodusSPQR]

Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage. What a trio of albums! They were Sabbath at their creative peak and at the top of their game. The anger, frustration, and sheer venom they felt with the music business fed their creativity on Sabotage and it's as if they're saying to the world 'Look, this is us, see what we can do...' The shackles were off (if they were ever on) and they spewed this album out with no holds barred.
A work of art from start to finish.

Where are you going to find lyrics like this ever again in today's music?

[jag]

Sabatage is the best album Sabbath ever did! Ozzy's vocals on this song are out of this world . Love it!!! A song Ozzy had a big part in writing.

Tony later explained all this. They were in the middle of a brutal set of lawsuits aimed at their old management, and as he said, it was almost impossible to record all this for not tripping over an army of lawyers all over the place. The Writ is a nasty piece deadly aimed at the old management team who'd taken the guys to the cleaners over the money. That's why Oz sound so angry, the lyric so rich with venom. He was flipping off a lot of those he was done with. Hence, the album title "Sabotage". It was a miracle it got made at all.

[MisterWillow]

I love the accurancy of the picture in this video. ;-) I am sure the band would too.

[smokebanshee]

You wanna know how I like my Sabbath? I like it Black.

[loumelillo]

Ozzy is the greatest singer ever.No one sounds as unique

[lis_indee]

Wow I was nine when I first heard this song and it really made me fall in love with rock and music in general ..

[richdisilvio]

Always loved this song, yet so bizarre how it's never (or extremely rarely) ever mentioned... There's simply NO other song about the animus and disgust about a blood-sucking manager than this. Ozzy's voice is amazing, and the band kicks ass...gotta love the soft bass intro, then the explosion of venom that ensues...priceless.

[ritchtaylor]

My favorite Sabbath track of them all.
