Black Sabbath - Behind The Wall Of Sleep Lyrics
Visions cupped within a flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Look upon you at your trial
Icy sun with frosty glow
Words that grow read to your sorrow
Words that grow read no tomorrow
Feel your spirit rise with the breeze
Feel your body falling to its knees
Sleeping wall of remorse
Turns your body to a corpse
Turns your body to a corpse
Turns your body to a corpse
Turns your body to a corpse
Now from darkness there springs light
Wall of Sleep is cool and bright
Wall of Sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in you have awoken

Black Sabbath Behind The Wall Of Sleep Comments
Muito massa
I used to smoke so much pot to this. I still do, but I used to, too.
listen to that "fucking baseline"....Geezer is the fucking greatest
"baseline"...fuckin autocorrect
sędzia pali czuły gaz
Bill Ward on the Phuckin' skins ... WOW
I've always said that Ozzy's voice cuts through the air/atmosphere.. Whatever I mean by that I don't know lol.
Imho I think this is sabbath's best
Kings of metal accidentally created the first punk song
SĘDZIA PALI CZUŁY GAZ
I always found when I was younger, early Sabbath quite menacing like they're chasing me
Sabbath songs sound like a warning
They were
The Paris 1970 version has that killer solo in the end!
sempre gostei muito de Black Sabbath e recentemente (pouco mais de 1 ano) sou fã incontestável do Lovecraft <3 QUE FODAAA

Pure delight today as when i first heard it on my older brothers Sony tape deck in 1972, i was ten.
2019 Brazil
This tune fukken flat out rokk🎃🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🎻🎻🎻🎄🎄🎄🎄
All Rights go to Geezer.
Who the fuck thumbed down this masterpiece??
Ultimate song about loosing yourself in regret (remorse) and how it nullifies and freezes the mind from perceptive thoughts that will engender growth.
Well said
TOO SHORT PAYSTYLE U WONT BE DISAPPOINTED
I love this song... it is awesome to smoke the Sweet Leaf with this in the background
Caralho parece Canalha do Walter Franco.
so good
funny how a simple low budget 1969 recording was many times cleaner yet heavier -not to mention stranger then anything else from that time, back then Osbournes vocals were almost baritone yet had a high frequency raspy edge to them, lots and lots of sibilance, when combined with that heavy accent/nasal edge you had the perfect recipe for a strangely amazing vocal tone not heard previously, of course at that time his voice was rapidly changing, the second album was recorded less then a year later yet you can hear he's slightly less baritone and without the raspy edge, of course this worked really well too -I mean the reason there's never been a remake as good as the original Warpigs is simply because even the best vocalists could not match Osbournes original tone, sadly the next album from 71' had vocals which were much higher and lost much of that heavy low edge, in each successive album this only became more pronounced while the music itself veered away from that completely original heavy jazz feel they pulled off for a short time
Wait, so you're saying you DON'T like Sabotage?
Listen to Heartbreaker by Led Zep, and then go back to this vid, go to 0:35 and get confused ! You'll thank me later
Thank you for? Plagiarism? Are you a mentally challenged? There's no similarities between both music. In fact Zep has a tonne of legal suits due to copying of many artists before them! Get your facts substantiated. Delusional prick!
The Sabb's finest tune in my humble opinion. Sir Tony Iommi imperious as ever. A band in blissful union.
I always interpretted this song as being about brugmansia flowers
Maybe the mandrake root
Its actually about a story by H.P lovecraft called beyond the wall of sleep.
Music is weird yo...
Can someone explain how any of this was related to the Lovecraftian multiverse?
This song is about short story Beyond the wall of sleep. H. P. Lovecraft writed that story before he made the cthulhu mytos so thats why the lyrics aren't related to Cthulhu, Dagon or anything else from the mytos. It is just about that one specific story.
That drum beat tho
lol The Smithereens did a horrible cover of this, nothing against them though
Is the cover of this one as bad as the Cardigans version of Iron Man? Because that one was absolutely god awful terrible in every way.
Classic Iomi🎶
Grande bateria poucas músicas tem esta harmonia. Como ser transportado para outro tempo
one of the best
Sabbath at their best.
Had the same vinyl since the mid 70's when I was 10. Great heavy song.
Black Sabbath old stuff great music
reminds me of my 1st car , i had a flat-faced gmc van 1966 id crank it & party in the van with friends ! 1986
See also TOO $HORT "Paystyle"
HILAL BIN SAHAR
One of my favs. This is why Ozzy was a badass and Sabbath ruled!
yyz good call, bro. this is one of their best. blues band just heavy as shit. they were not fuckin around
A Tribe Called Quest used drum sample 0:34 from this song for "We The People"
N'taniel Tonesforsky Too Short Paystyle......jus adding that in there
They got the idea to use those drums from the crew members Jungle Brother "Beads on a string"
No wonder. Ward's drumming is funky as heck.
Bill Ward.
Will Bard
H.P. Lovecraft: everything his works touch turns to gold
How I wish Ward"s drum solo went on for another 5 minutes
Seriously.
Melhor banda de todos os tempos BLACK SABBATH
2:00 sędzia pali czuły gaz! Kto z Polski 😂😃
hahaha wlasnie szukalem kto to napisze :D
lepiej spójrz na całą piosenkę a nie na samo "Turns your body to a corpse" bo jest zajebista 😉
Worst Smithereens cover ever.
Um, you do know that the Smithereens covered Black Sabbath, right?
/wooosh
One of the greatest rythem $ections ever
To me, Black Sabbath and Ozzy are standard bearers for rock. What does rock say? Screw the greedy, ignorant pinheads of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's some autopan, hell yeah Ozzy
I'm not even a Black Sabbath fan. I just found this while looking for Lovecraft inspired music. I was not disappointed. 😎👌
Hey man! Check out Pentagram, I feel like a Lovecraft fan would love the Last Daze Here album. Or if you really like spooky stuff then check out Roky Erickson. Two criminally underrated bands. Roky is schizo and obsessed with horror along with being one of the most talented songwriters. Sabbath fans should also listen to Roky cuz it's pretty heavy too.
@That Hippie Gamer Electric Wizards "Dunwich Horror" kicks ass also
I was listening to static x behind the wall of sleep. And i knew what that was so i searched it and now im here
@That Hippie Gamer tyoe o negative
@Shay Wilkerson i was JUST gonna say that
Ozzy is awesome, his voice is perfect, there's no one like him!
I agree! He's also very funny and smart! Quite a lovely chap
God bless america¡¡
Correction there is no one like this entire band.
"The Horla" and "The Jolly Corner"..those are two horror allusions within this song
long live Ozzy
:35 to :38 Rapper Too Short used that beat on his song "Paystyles"
Russell Adams Fuck rappers!
DeadBy Deicide and fuck u too. You think rock is just European music?
Cyka Blyat L
rise cthulu!
My favorite drum beta of all time!
You sure beta or alpha?
classic shit...bass line incredible
CHAMPION DEE JAY 19 drums! I used to play it over and over on my little drum set as a teen. Hahah
Visions cupped within a flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Look upon you at your trial
Chill that numbs from head to toe
Icy sun with frosty glow
Words that grow read to your sorrow
Words that grow read no tomorrow
Feel your spirit rise with the breeze
Feel your body falling to it's knees
Sleeping wall of remorse
Turns your body to a corpse
Turns your body to a corpse
Turns your body to a corpse
Sleeping wall of remorse
Turns your body to a corpse
Now from darkness there springs light
Wall of Sleep is cool and bright
Wall of Sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in you have awoken
@Fred Ryno Geezer
@T.C. Bramblett I wouldn't say I'm a geezer but I'm no spring chicken.
@Fred Ryno it's referring to an H.P. Lovecraft story
Fred Ryno holy fucking shit
Cthulhu had a lol at the comments.
