  • Jherek from The Pig EmpireThis song is obviously about former Black Sabbath manager, Don Arden, and his daughter Sharon Osbourne. Iommi will never admit that, of course.
  • Sabin Shankhadev from Dadhikot-6,bhaktapurLyrics of this song and that of "Devil's Daughter" are diffrent.
  • Lester from New York City, NyThis is the best Black Sabbath album with Tony Martin as lead singer. 'Nightwing' is one of Black Sabbath's best songs, regardless of lead singer.
