Purportedly Satan worshipping Black Sabbath recorded the song After Forever for their Master of Reality. Here are the lyrics:

 

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?

Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

 

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

 

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in God above?

They should realize before they criticize

that God is the only way to love

 

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say they may as well worship the sun?

 

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?

You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

 

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

If You Want Blood... is not on the AC/DC album of that name. Neither was High Voltage (originally).

During the recording of Irony Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" producer Martin Birch had a car accident and the repair bill was £666.

Did he drive his Aston Martin into a birch tree?

Funny, but it's not irony! If this would happen it would only be a coincidence.

Def Leppard's song On Through the Night is not on the album of the same name, but on the following album, High and Dry.

They planned to do a song called High and Dry for the Pyromania album, but forgot.

Now, that, unlike many of the things in this thread, actually IS ironic!
