At the moment I am mostly listening to Black Sabbath. I would definitely count them as progressive.
Rick Wakeman, my fave keyboard wizard, contributed a few keyboard backing parts for them, just as he did for David Bowie;
I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived
When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran
You got to believe me
I'm talking to you
Well I know it's hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on
I want you to listen
I'm trying to get through
Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown
Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring
...
Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of god sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see my world
And know that it is good
You know that I should
Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disquise
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should
Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build, you pay
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth
And feel their warmth
And know that it is good
You know that I should
What a lovely man that Ozzie is! I love the lyrics.
just happened on this and had a listen even thou this ain't really my cup of tea, but boy will I rave to hardnrgy as well as oldskool acid trax, sure I will if the people are good and the sweat is running!
LYRICS.
Oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo, it's all right
My time's comin' but it's not tonight
Get out the tents and set up the floods
Bring in the trucks and make some more mud
Then get the hell out of my way 'cause I'm gonna get wasted
As magic gasses fill the air
It's bad for your health but I don't care
This'll all be gone tomorrow but we'll still be able to taste it
The golden chord is frayed, what was that song they played
Our steed lies melting in the sun
They flooded the parking lot, our tent begins to rot
And I'm in love with everyone
I know everything will be alright
My time's comin' but it's not tonight
So let's keep going 'til the morning light if it's free I'll take it
I know everything will come back 'round
Five white horses on an ocean of sound
Until it all comes crashing down like the walls of Jericho
Stop, children, what's that sound
Another bunch of phreaks just rolled into town
In a broken down bus with a crew that's fallin' to pieces
You got to get up, stand up, walk a straight line
Been drunk for three days but you're doin' fine
Just a little bit out of your mind but you're takin' it easy
All you really need is one more hour of sleep so you
Lay your head upon the floor
Just a little sleep before it gets too deep
You wake up come back for more
I know everything will be alright
My time's comin' but it's not tonight
So let's keep going 'til the morning light if it's free I'll take it
I know everything will come back 'round
Five white horses on an ocean of sound
Until it all comes crashing down yes I know we can
Make it to the other side
Everything is blowin' my mind
The man on the magic tricycle would like to take you for a ride
