Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
All right now!
Black Sabbath is a band that everyone should at least have heard of. If not War Pigs, then Iron Man or Paranoid. Classic metal that everyone can enjoy. At one point in time, this could have been classified as demonic or the devil's music, but compared to some bands out there now, this is nothing. Still, it is a great piece.
War Pigs is interesting because on the same album is Paranoid. Originally, War Pigs was going to be the titular track, but Paranoid took that spot instead because Black Sabbath didn't want to be seen as hating the war going on at the time.
Either way, the song is fun, though I prefer Faith No More's sped up version a little more. (Ozzy's vocals are better).
