Lyrics to War Pigs by Black Sabbath from the album Paranoid
(Compiled by James Palmese, Sabbath afficionado since 1979)

Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerors of deaths 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 all to the poor.
Yeah!!

Solo

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.
Begging mercy for their sins,
Satan laughing spreads his wings.
Oh Lord, Yeah!!
