"give me the wine, you keep the bread."  Ozzy rules.

[darknesseternal]

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.

[tylerrainone]

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.

[roshangupta]

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.

[Maceta]

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.

[StringRamblerBale]

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!

[glaucus]

7:21 the riff is pure metal and the bass is funky af I love it

[ChrisCatton]

"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.

[caniscanemedit]

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.

[KatarnCrusader]

This is without a doubt by far my favourite Black Sabbath Song

[Mickmjgreen]

Long Live Black Sabbath!!! a fan for over 40 years..sing it Ozzy

[robertknormand]

This is a group of senior citizens saying "Hey kid hold my beer, we will show you how it is done"

[xthrax]

“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

[LesClaypoolOnBass]

This song is sick, should be added to classic rock playlists right next to War Pigs and other classics

[zeenalicorice]

This album is awesome, it ranks up there with some of Sabbath's best.

[shannonlucas]

Riddle me this....how, after all these years, can Iommi still come up w so many damn good riffs?

[HauntFreak]

Fucking love this song. Heard it at Halloween Horror Nights a few years ago and went on a Black Sabbath binge. 💀🤘🏼🎸

[hathorearthfyre]

I just fell in love with Black Sabbath all over again.

[dopeheathen]

God is supernatural. He is everywhere and he is everything. He is you and me and he is the air.

[alexpalmor]

This is an unbelievable master piece, the pureness of a heavy metal song, soft and then very strong, extremely poetic. Just
