Black Sabbath - "Voodoo" (Live at Hammersmith Odeon)

Say you don't know me,
You'll burn
You can refuse,
But you'll lose,
It's by me
Say you don't want me,
You'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new,
'Cause I'm through

Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool,
It's all right
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but
I crept inside you

So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name
'Cause it's Voodoo, oh!

Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free,
I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time
'Till your mine and you learn

So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes
'Cause he's Voodoo!

Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through

Voodoo!

Bring me your children, they'll burn!
Never look back, never turn!
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!!

Το κύκνειο άσμα (την πρώτης περιόδου) του Dio με τους Sabbs. Είχε την πολύ δύσκολη αποστολή να διαδεχθεί τον κολοσσό "Heaven and Hell". Βαριά η παρακαταθήκη, αλλά κατάφερε να το κοιτάξει στα μάτια.

Κυκλοφόρησε την 1η Οκτωβρίου του 1981 από την Warner Bros. Records. Στις 5 Μαρτίου (2021) θα γνωρίσει την πολλοστή επανακυκλοφορία του. Θα "βγει" μέσω της Rhino Records σε διπλό cd και διπλό βινύλιο.

Τα εννέα τραγούδια της αρχικής έκδοσης θα πλαισιωθούν από άλλα τόσα από "ζωντανές" εμφανίσεις της μπάντας σε Λονδίνο και Πόρτλαντ το 1981 και το 1982, ενώ ο δεύτερος δίσκος θα περιλαμβάνει ολόκληρη -ακυκλοφόρητη- συναυλία (13 τραγουδιών) των Black Sabbath (Live at Portland Memorial Coliseum). If you listen to fools... The Mob Rules!

Δελτίο τύπου: «You're listening to Black Sabbath perform "Voodoo" live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, UK on 12/31/1981. Mob Rules Deluxe Edition features newly remastered audio along with rare and unreleased music, and the entire concert recorded in 1982 in Portland, OR.»
