The video is in animation and features the band via shadows. The premise of the video is an angel in Heaven picks up a black book (a'la the song "Bible Black"). When he opens it, it sends him down to hell. According to Ronnie James Dio, the song deals with a man who is addicted to the Bible Black that destroys him.
~BIBLE BLACK-LYRICS-
At last alone his fires dying
Burned another day
Now to pretend make up an ending
some where far away....
He reached for a book all bound in leather
something that he knows he's never read
The first page says beware you've find the answer
the next one says I wish that you were dead...
Don't go on Put it Back
your reading from the BIBLE BLACK
whats this world I see
who are you and who are me
maybe I just stumbled in the dark
I must have been out cold
but the way the stories told
they found me lying naked in the rain...
Let me go , I've seen religion
but the light has left me blind
Take me back
I must have the BIBLE BLACK
Well here I go again
from the start unto the end
I wish I could remember what I've done
Now heres another spell,
it could take me straight to hell
& I feel i'm getting closer to my home
Let me go I've found addiction and it makes me feel so alive
Take me Back
I must have the BIBLE BLACK
He locks himself away and tastes the silence
hungry for another bite of wrong
& just the words oh Lord please take me with you
took him to a place where he don't belong
Let him go, he can't come back
He's reading from the BIBLE BLACK
SO if your fires dying
& whats the use of trying
I may know another place where you can go
its hiding in the pages,
but you may not come back
your reading from the BIBLE BLACK
(Written by Ronnie James Dio, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi)
The Devil You Know is the debut studio album from the heavy metal band Heaven & Hell. The album's USA import was released in Japan on April 24, 2009, 4 days earlier than its original due date of April 28. The Japan domestic pressing which is a SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) was released on April 27. Produced by the band and sound engineer Mike Exeter. This is the band's first studio album under the name "Heaven & Hell" with the group members having played with each other previously in an earlier line-up of the band Black Sabbath.
The Devil You Know reached the top 10 in its first week of release, to debut at number 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 30,000 copies sold.
In 2006 the Ronnie James Dio-era Black Sabbath line-up recorded three new tracks, "The Devil Cried", "Shadow Of The Wind" and "Ear In The Wall", for an upcoming greatest hits package entitled Black Sabbath: The Dio Years. Guitarist Tony Iommi said that the tracks were created because he felt there was nothing worthwhile releasing in the vaults from the Dio-era studio recordings and so these new songs were written and recorded. The song "The Devil Cried" was released as a promotional single for the release. Initially Dio commented that after the recording of those songs, he expected to leave the band and return to Dio and that another "Sabbath album" was "the last thing on my mind". Iommi commented that Heaven and Hell agreed on an album whilst the band was in Japan on their 2007 tour. The band started work on the album before and after the Metal Masters Tour in Dio and Iommi's houses respectively. Each member submitted CDs of material for the project. Iommi has described the work so far as being "really good, pretty powerful". The first single of the album, "Bible Black", was released on American iTunes on March 31, 2009.
The album artwork is adapted from a painting by Per Haagensen entitled "Satan". The artwork features the numbers 25 and 41. Geezer Butler recently stated in an interview that the numbers refer to the Bible verse Matthew 25:41 that deals with the Last Judgement where those who sit at the left side of God are cast down into hell. He also has explained that the name of the album is a reference to the name of the band, as fans know them as Black Sabbath. When finalizing the cover art, the band narrowed it down to their two favorites but had a difficult time making a final decision. The second of those two favorites prominently features the traditional Black Sabbath devil logo. That alternative cover will be available exclusively at WalMart within the US.
