After Forever: Black Sabbath

 

Black Sabbath are a heavy rock band that started in the 70’s fronted by the infamous Ozzy Osbourne but I work with young people who still listen to them. <P>
This song is not what you would expect from this band and is very thought provoking; don’t expect to find many more from them like it! <P>
The track is called After Forever and can be found o­n the album Black Sabbath Greatest hits track 11, CLACD200. <P>
The song is 5 minutes 24 seconds long and starts by asking a series of questions. <P>
The lyrics are included below, the theology is not perfect so you may wish to point these out but it could really help connect with certain young people. <P>
Have a read of the lyrics and see what you think. <P>
After listening to the track it lends itself to discussing the topics it has raised. <P>
The Lyrics start with the question: <P>
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved? <P>
and ends with this statement talking about Christ: <P>
The o­nly o­ne who can save you now from all this sin and hate: Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it’s too late.
