Iron
Man
The
Damaged Hero Now Ignored.
A
Black Sabbath Song about
Karmic Retribution.
Posted
Black Sabbath’s
song Iron Man from their incredibly successful Paranoid album released in 1969
invokes powerful imagery of an ignored and damaged heroe seeking revenge.
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind
The Iron Man
emerges from history as an uncompromising automaton who will right the wrongs
that have been done him in an absolute manner. Like Karma, his motivation is
impersonal but is seen as revenge by the end user.
Although people
live in denial and ignore the Iron Man, there is still a debt to be paid and
which cannot be escaped from, no matter how fast they run.
Like Karmic
Retribution, the Iron Man will grind on regardless and do what he needs to do.
Iron Man
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

In
line with the cyclic nature of History,
we are knocked out of our complacency as a
period of calm and stability is swept away by
higher forces which we cannot control.
