Into The Void Lyrics

This song was taken from a Indian Chief's letter to Thomas Jefferson. The Chief 's Name was Chief Sealth in modern English Seatle. You can find a copy of the letter in Wolden Woods Edited by Don Henley yes the Eagles drummer

Lemme clear it up for you, guy. Obviously, the lyrics deal with the environmental destruction of the Earth, which Sealth warned against. That's why when Soundgarden did a cover of this song in 1992, they replaced the original lyrics with the text of Sealth's famous speech. I don't think that's what Sabbath in mind with the original cut though, even though you can easily see the connection.
