Nativity In Black.

It's not Nativity in Black, the name of the track was just a nickname (Geezer Butler thought Bill Ward's beard looked like a nib). There is no real meaning, they are singing from the point of view of the Devil. Perhaps saying that even evil has a heart? Personally I think they just thought it sounded good.

What is Black Sabbath most popular song?

Iron Man or Paranoid, probably. The best ones are Black Sabbath, NIB, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Country Girl, Headless Cross, After All (The Dead). Btw, why is this in the Jay-Z, Hendrix and Zeppelin categories?? Actually, the only good songs are those featuring Ozzy Osbourne, with the exception of the album 'Never Say Die', so Heaven and Hell, Country Girl, Headless Cross, and After All (the dead) are not great. Sabbath lost its soul after Ozzy got kicked out, and look who did better afterwards... And yes, why put this question in those categories?
