It is sometimes noted as the first stoner rock album. Master of Reality was certified double platinum after having sold over 2 million copies.
The slow and heavy songs that compose most of the album are interspersed with quiet ballads written by Tony Iommi. Two of these, "Embryo" and "Orchid", are short instrumentals serving as interludes. The third, "Solitude", is much longer in comparison and features Ozzy Osbourne's soft, woeful vocals.
Unusually, the lyrics of the song "After Forever" written by Terry "Geezer" Butler , focus entirely on Christian themes. At the time, some viewed Black Sabbath as Satanists due to their dark sound, image and lyrics. Similarly, the song "Lord of this World" has lyrics that deal with Satan mocking those who unwittingly follow him. It was released as a single along with "Fairies Wear Boots" in 1971."
The song "Solitude" showcases Tony Iommi's multi-instrumental talents, featuring him playing the guitar, flute and piano.
The album opener, "Sweet Leaf", is a song about cannabis. "Children of the Grave" was written about war, peace and revolution.

Black Sabbath Lyrics
After Forever Have you ever thought about your soul can it be…
Children of the Grave Revolution in their minds, the children start to march Again…
Embryo [ Instrumental ]…
Into the Void Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the night sky…
Lord of This World You're searching for your mind don't know where to start Can…
Orchid [Instrumental]…
Solitude My name, it means nothing My fortune is less My future is…
Sweet Leaf Alright now Won't you listen? When I first met you, didn't …
