Electric Funeral (Bsabbath Cover)
Iced Earth · Other Songs - Iced Earth
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic rage
plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
dying world of radiation, victims of mad frustration
Burning globe of oxy'n fire, like electric funeral pyre
Buildings crashing down to a cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here's the burning pay
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
And so in the sky shines the electric eye
supernatural king takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings, Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell, ever trapped in burning cells!
About Electric Funeral (Bsabbath Cover)
Iced Earth's "Electric Funeral" serves as a powerful tribute to Black Sabbath, blending the band's signature heavy metal sound with the doom-laden atmosphere of the original Sabbath track. Released as a standalone recording rather than on a specific album, this track exemplifies the Swedish melodic death metal band's ability to reinterpret classic riffs while maintaining their own distinct identity. The song features the band's characteristic dual vocal approach, combining clean, melodic singing with guttural growls to create a dynamic contrast typical of their discography. By channeling the dark, brooding energy of Black Sabbath, Iced Earth pays homage to the genre's roots while demonstrating their own technical proficiency and atmospheric depth. This recording stands as a significant piece in their catalog, showcasing their commitment to honoring metal history through their unique musical lens.
