God is Dead? Nah, Black Sabbath is Alive!

Black Sabbath unleashed "God is Dead" today, the first single from their reunion album "13" and took the rock world and their followers by storm.

Hell yeah, Black Sabbath is back!

This marks the first time in 35 years that the original members: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler (with the exception of drummer, Bill Ward, who declined to join his erstwhile buddies for the project) of the pioneering heavy metal band have reunited to record an album under the watchful eye of veteran producer Rick Rubin.

In lieu of Ward, the band asked Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine to play on drums. "13" is set to be released via Vertigo Records/Republic Records June 11, 2013.

Lost in the darkness

I pain 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 murdering 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 us all

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 save God my philosophy

Until my dying breath

I transfer from reality

Into a living dead

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 as it turns red

Give me more 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 don't need to gain 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
