Black Sabbath confused me. I have to assume that their actual outlook on life is expressed in songs like "Under the Sun," but I've noticed that pretty much the entirety of the "Master of Reality" LP is Christian messages. "After Forever" directly takes nonbelievers to the task, "Lord of This World" condemns people for denying God's love in favor of sin, and "Into the Void" describes a voyage to a foreign planet, specifically stating "Leave the Earth to Satan and his slaves / Leave them to their futures in their graves."
I can't figure this out. Either there was some intense philosophical difference between the members/lyricists of Sabbath, or "Master of Reality" is a concept album from a Christian point of view. Anybody else ever thought of it that way?
