Owing to a noticeable difference in structure from the rest of the song, the introduction of "Into the Void" has been known to be called The Death Mask.

Into the Void
Black Sabbath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up into the night sky they blast
Through the universe the engines whine
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low
Everywhere is misery and woe
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea
Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the black sky so vast
Burning metal through the atmosphere
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide
Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwash, winds and pollution
Leave the earth to all it's sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits, yeah
Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in their graves
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every day
The lyrics of Black Sabbath's song 'Into the Void' paint a picture of man's inevitable fate. The opening lines describe rocket engines burning fuel so fast, signaling an imminent end of time. The engines whine through the universe, and man is left wondering whether this is the end of their existence. On earth, the flame of life burns low, and everywhere there is misery, woe, and pollution that kills the air, the land, and the sea. Man is left with no choice but to prepare to meet his destiny.
As the rockets fly through the empires of eternal void and hateful battles rage on with the glowing sun in sight, freedom from the final suicide remains a far-fetched dream. The song highlights the urgency for freedom fighters to leave the earth in search of a new world where freedom waits, escaping from the brainwashed winds and pollution that plague earth. The lyrics encourage the freedom fighters to venture past the stars in ancient void fields, through the shields of darkness where they find a land of love and the world unknown where they can make their home.
