Call Of The Wild Lyrics

Lyric discussion by p2000 

Cover art for Call Of The Wild lyrics by Black Sabbath

Originally this song was called "Hero" but was changed at the last minute to "Call of the Wild" because Ozzy was apparently was releasing a song or album with the same name.

It's the song "Hero" from Ozzy's 1988 "No Rest for the Wicked" album. That's why they changed it to avoid confusion.

I don't think there's too much to interpret into the lyrics. As Tony Martin stated, he was basically left alone to write the lyrics and tried to make them sound like "Black Sabbath", which ended with a musically great album that has cheesy horror-movie lyrics.

To avoid confusion? That's funny because I am very confused....can't figure out the meaning of the lyrics and nobody thus far has even tried to interpret them. Geesh.
