Look through the people, and on through the mist
To the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this,
And the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul,
With an Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, are the screams and the wails
Of the masses appointed to die
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan,
On a nation so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
And the master is calling your name,
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm
Does the talisman protect you from pain
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping from the power of Satan
For a people so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
Where will you run to, at the headless cross
Look, to the headless cross

Headless Cross is such an underrated album. It's a different Sabbath but I'd put it among Black Sabbath's top 5 albums of all-time.

Sabbath's Tony Martin era is so underrated but these albums are really good, the vocals are amazing, the songwriting is the reinvention of the Dio era! Needless to say that your cover is once again out of this world 🤟👌

[@alicarryme]

I love those albums with Tony Martin

[@666Havers]

i love devil and daughter. some crazy high screams in that song and when death calls and black moon killer album ..underappreciated as all fuck

[@judas2891]

I bought the Headless Cross album in cassette in 1992. Amazing album. Love it.

[@cryofthewolfmagazine]

[@Marctull66]

I feel the same as you... Tony Martin was just darn amazing on those albums and Tony Iommi delivered some of his best guitar solos as well. OK, it had almost nothing to do with Ozzy's era but that's just what I like in Sabbath : the Dio era. And it was really close, the epic side. Headless Cross might be the one I prefer but Tyr and Eternal Idol were great too.

[@Eyeofdajjal]

Man, I didn’t think anybody could ever get even close to my favourite Sabbath singer. Not as „velvety“, but more power and clarity. A memorable moment in my life. Rewatch right effin now

Without a doubt one of the best covers Tommy done so far! Just... AMAZING! 🤩🤩

[@1974mattias]

You also have an incredible voice Kim! Thanks to Tommy I found your channel as well and you are a really talented musician. Hope to hear more from you. And of course from your daughter Tilia. She´s already a really good singer.👍👍

Thanx for convincing Tommy to release this 😊

Tommy, there was a thunderstorm roaring over my house when this aired. When you hit the first chorus, thunder clapped so hard it shook the walls. My roommate shouted, "Ya hear that!? Cozy Powell is drumming for you Tommy!" I wholeheartedly agree. This cover was amazing!

[@thekingofstillwater5890]

I can't get enough of this cover, I'm so glad Kim conviced you to do this song, you did a marvelous job. Now, if you'd only want to do a Deep Purple song, I'd really be a happy camper 😁

[@robertranford1359]

This is the best Black Sabbath cover I have ever heard.. Holy Molly Tommy words really are so inadequate to describe how amazing this is.. I can just picture Ozzy and the band sat there blown away by this with tears of gratitude and humbled appreciation in their eyes.. damn dude that’s out of this world good

[@Gravstein]

Tony Martin on vocals for the Headless Cross album. Ozzy did No Rest for the Wicked solo album back then. Tommy does kill on vocals as alway!

[@robertranford1359]

@@Gravstein I just had a major facepalm moment by looking at the original video of this song and now feel like a right donkey… thank you for rightly correcting me dude lol

[@mikemontgomery5001]

This is an excellent cover and my comment is not to compare Tommy to Dino. I just want to point out another excellent Sabbath cover of Die Young by Dino Jelusick if you haven't listened to or watched I'd also recommend it.

[@Gravstein]

@@robertranford1359 Nothing to worry about. Tony Martin was in fact longer in Sabbath then Ozzy was. Razorfirst has a metal mythos episode on black sabbath that is 2 hours long. If you want to deep dive in to it.

[@markbrock4427]

It's a Tony Martin Sabbath song.

[@Robert_Momesso]

tommy This is not a cover. This is a recreation of a classic. You have the gift of transforming songs and a talent that transcends adjectives. You have once again managed to elevate the music when it would have been impossible to do. Greetings

Tony Martin's timbre and vocal performance in Headless Cross is something unique and a work of art and you managed to get there Tommy. Your vocals are amazing!

[@danielhathaway184]

To be honest I wasn't sure how this would turn out and I can tell you I am very impressed I love how you updated the song vocally with changes of octave in places and on the guitar added some subtle squeals in areas and reworked the guitar solo that put your own stamp on it...Bravo Tommy Bravo!!!

[@katijasola5232]

It's ridiculous just how good this sounds. There isn't one good metal band that Tommy wouldn't fit in to. It's also a damned good song in its own right. Overlooked because it was Sabbath with Tony Martin. Rock on Tommy!

It's funny to hear Sabaton singer Joakim say in the "70 000 Tons of Sabaton Metal 2018 Vlog" video, that this is his favourite song. I'm sure he likes this version too, Tommy! 😍

[@anthonyrubeo3220]

Tony Martin was a huge influence on my short stint as singer in a metal band 35 years ago. When Headless cross came out it was overwhelming but man to her home sing this and play everything then change the break and solo format and at 4:35 the vocals that you think can’t possibly get more amazing you perform a volcanic eruption. I pray to the Metal Gods that you become as famous as you deserve as anyone that knows metal should truly be gifted at hearing such talent.

This is the best cover of Headless Cross I've heard. Of all versions these are the only vocals that capture Tony Martin at his prime in dynamics and power. The vocal nuances, guitar tone and musical elaborations escalate the greatness to the summit of Metal and Music in general. I've liked a lot of your work Tommy, but this is a special treat.

Tommy is a fantastic musician. There's something very weird in a World he is not featuring among the greatest stars. Not just a great singer, he is a singer with personality. It's not just about the notes, it's about adding his own take on the songs. For me, a lot of singers with a "high tone voice", sounds quite similar (not the same, of course), but Tommy is instantly recognizable. I am happy to be a in a World where I can listen you, mate

[@Reuben.Aotearoa]

So I'm on youtube in order to listen to Tony Martin era Sabbath cos it's nowhere else and your vid just popped up for me. The intro sounds pretty damn good but surely when the vocals come in... but you've absolutely done justice to The Cat. A hard thing to do: he's right up there with Dio and Gillan. And Gillen, for that matter, he deserves more recognition too. But absolutely love the choice of the song: more people need to give these albums a chance.

[@archeryvibes]

Tony Martin may not that "recognizable" as one of Black Sabbath vocalist. But Headless Cross was the first sabbath's album i heard...then TYR...then i started digging up old Ozzy times.. Iommi guitars sounds and haunting lyrics in this album are soo unforgetable and the best Sabbath's sounds for me. Thank you for doing this great cover ! 🤘🏽, Cheers from Indonesia 🇮🇩
