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

6:18 How can a riff be that good?

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.

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.

“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

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

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.

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!

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.

7:21 That original doom style, it's like the sound of metal itself.

The bass on this is insane..🔥🔥

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

"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.

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.

My husband is christian and I'm atheist. We're brazilians and he don't speak english very well. I always listen this music at home and one day he asked me: "What this song is saying about god? It's not saying that god is dead, is it?". I answered: "Of course not! The song is saying that god is THERE". He believed for a while lol.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They are so old and can still make grade A. killer music.

Long live Black Sabbath

This is actually like my second favorite Sabbath song.

Ozzy's a Christian (Anglican), his music is dark and makes people think. This is far from offensive.

God isnt Dead he's probably in this chair rockin with this song lml

He sure loves his purple spaghetti!

Excellent show and the sound was crystal clear. Seen kids from 5 yrs old to adults 70 yrs old. No fights, everyone was polite, and Sabbath kicked ass at the DTE Energy Music Theater. Paranoid for the last song as I suspected it would be. Thank you Sabbath! But I kept smelling skunks all concert long, big time!

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

This song has earned a grammy !

Pioneering rock theater and pure musicianship is what made Black Sabbath one-off legends that many borrowed from, copied and followed. Strains of their beats and themes reverberate through heavy rock even today. Like the genre or not, the talent and legacy is staggering and undeniable!

So gnarly...Blasting this in the A.M

Great Song from the band that would not die... Hail Sabbath !

"God is dead" Nietzsche, 1883 "Nietzsche is dead" God, 1900

This song is really interesting in its lyrics and really well-composed. I love it.

You can find this guitar lesson at our channel with tabs and chords.

Fuc*KING Masterpiece.

Ozzy's voice sounds the best that it ever has, IMO. Might be kind of a controversial opinion but he sounds great here.

Now from darkness there springs light....

Lost in the darkness, I fade from the light. Faith of my father my brother 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 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 can not 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 death. I empathize with enemies until the time is right. With God and Satan at my side, from darkness will come light. I watch the rain and 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 what the good book said? 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.

"Are you afraid of what your friends might say if they knew you believe in God above? They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to love."-Black Sabbath. Tell me how they don't support God again?

I'm 14 years old and in love with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. Literally grew up listening to them. Parenting, doing it right! :)

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

Seen them twice on the last month taking my total up to 3. Hopefully there's a lot more to come. Amazing as always. This album is a credit to the band.

I had the chance to hear this song live 2 days ago in Montreal :-p

IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THIS TUNE,THEY ARE JUST CONVEYING THAT GOD IS VERY MUCH ALIVE, GOD BLESS TONY, OZZY, GEEZER AND THE BILLY WARD

Never stop listening since 76’ and was born in 69. Dad just died. Glad I can still remember through fantastic music

Ozzy... I hope you are well atm and I hope everything will be good in the end. I'm from Romania and I listen to a lot of music, almost any style of music as long as it is art. Thank you for your music, you are a SPECIAL SOUL in this world. Im 33 y old and i listened to Black Sabbath for a few years until now. In the last 2 or 3 years I began to listen to old music from 70-80 etc and I discovered incredible stuff like Bob Marley, Black Sabbath, Ministry, etc...at this age I begin to understand your songs a lot better...God is dead? is one of the top 3 rock songs in our lifetime...no matter what age we are in. Thank you.

I came for the song, and stayed for all the lovely comments.

This is my favorite song off this album. The riffs are vintage Sabbath. Perfect in its composition. Proof Positive that Black Sabbath is ,was,& always shall be THE GREATEST BAND EEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!PERIOD!!!

Death to cruelty in the name of God or any religio/political utopianism. "Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man" - Thomas Paine.

God`s not dead may Jesus be with you. I`ll be praying for you.

Oh damn this song is a masterpiece

Man....This song solo....So simple and so amazing... Iommy it's a legend!! I have the honor to see this guys live on friday here in Brazil... No words to describe what i felt.

Perfect song...strong traffic, lyrics, the tones, brilliant outro...

Everybody who thinks this song is pro atheist has no clue about the lyrics or black sabbath in general

These lyrics are my every day prayers now.

As a Christian I love this song the story of a man going through bad things and debating his faith is excellent and it’s all capped off with the final line “The blood pours down the rain turns red I don’t believe that God is Dead” a nice representation of one overcoming Satans lies and trickery and keeping their faith excellent song and some of the best lyrics Sabbath ever wrote which is saying something combine that with a classic Iommi riff and you’ve got a classic Black Sabbath tune.

he is such an amazing musician

Geezer Butler wrote 95% of the lyrics to Sabbath songs. Ozzy has proven to be awesome as his own. And Tony Iommi practically invented metal. So why the fuck would you people want to ruin an awesome song by bitching about the lyrics. Its not religion based. It is enjoyment.

It's depressing that so many people absolutely missed Nietzsche's point so utterly and completely.

That Eerie minor chord is so simple yet kills everything out there.

allmighty god is alive and bout redy ta pop mountain and red water loaded wit goodness will flow.

give me the wine you keep the bread

Pro atheist or not, the influence of the christian God has decomposed. This is exactly what Nietzsche was talking about.

Love listening to this every Easter. (:

Oh, what an amazing Vocals & lyrics & then Music. Everything is Superb about Black Sabbath!

Im a Catholic and this is one of my favourite doom metal songs, not gonna lie

Amazing tune.... Amazing voice....!

I can't believe how much this sounds like 70s Sabbath, its like theres no style change or anything, its a real true back in time trip, I wasn't born until 1993 but I grew up with all the 70s bands and this is something special.

all right I just remenber this song 7 years after, the year is 2013 and i listen this song 10x per day, here we are 2021 and its keep good

Lol. Silly Nietzsche is eating purple spaghetti.

Best part is when he says I don't believe GOD is dead! the back and forth of belief is what makes this CLASSIC!!

I remember when I was 16 and my boyfriend and I would listen to this song on the way to where he worked which is where I volunteered and it awesome and also on breaks..my grandma also loves ozzy Osborne:) my mother as well..has all cd's..rock forever dude and the KZfaqr that uploaded this:)

yeeeaaaahhh this is the album that I was waiting

this is the sabbath i knew as a kid! awesome job!

One the best songs ever that couldnt be released from any band except blacksabbath

The bass part is just incredible!

Anyone care to recommend more bands with this dark tone? I really love this dark heavy tone and so many metal bands seem to lack it... (Before you ask I've listened extensively to Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator and Annihilator).

0:30 you can just tell that's Tony Iommi from the first riff.

Forever the Gods that started this music. Hail, the mighty Sabbath. 🤘🏻

To come back as 60 years olds after however long a hiatus and release a banger like this is remarkable.

Great song! It feels like old Sabbath from the Paranoid era. I like it because it doesn't sound like Ozzy solo or post-Ozzy Sabbath. Don't get me wrong, Heaven and Hell & Blizzard of Oz are in my top ten metal albums of all time. It's just enjoyable to hear these guys go back to their roots. Peace. JR

funny thing ,back in 2010 when i heard dio passed i thought to myself "god is dead?"

Only Geezer can replicate the sound of the 70s 👍 fucking legend of a man, words simply can't do justice to this man's talent !

All the best to Tony..an inspiration of a man and a true gentleman.

People need to stop saying that there's no question mark in the title. Ozzy believes in god and so does the rest of the members of Black Sabbath.

Way to go, Ozzy. He got it right, God is not dead.

Respect the old men that thrive and survive in a young man's game.

Very Sabbath right from the get go, but this has a maturity and the Sabbath punch we all know and love. An instant Sabbath classic.

I love this song because it changes tempo many times; it almost seems like many "mini" songs put together.

I love this song so much are there anymore that are similar to it?

God damn, there's no words to describe how heavy and awesome this shit is... Long live Black Sabbath lml !!!

I've heard that live yesterday.. Awesome gig!

GODS ALIVE AND WELL ladies and gentlemen, at calvery it was all accomplised thanks to JESUS CHRIST, Thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Such a Killer song! True Sabbath! ;0)

I fucking love this song

the truth is in your heart if you look, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find

I think it's kinda' hard to believe that his album will be turning 10 years old next month.
