War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer 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 all to the poor, yeah Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah
Now, in darkness, world stops turning Ashes where their bodies burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of Judgment, God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercies for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah
Tony Iommi is so good
Yeah, one of the best!
And he got that awesome tone with only 9 fingers
Great song! From a great christian rock band!
Lyrics by Geezer Butler; Black Sabbath rules!

Anyone else feel like biting a bats head off? s/
Yeah, Ozzy is a bit wild. Supposedly he thought it was a rubber bat thrown onto the stage. Odd how you can't understand how he talks, but can understand his singing.
Not into heavy metal that much, but Black Sabbath Paranoid was the first record I ever bought, I was 12...
Snorting ants and licking piss was even gnarlier, as artfully portrayed in The Dirt

A lot of metal bands have anti war songs that sound violent to those who donāt know. War Ensemble and Mandatory Suicide by Slayer are great songs with powerful messages. Everybody knows Metallicaās āOneā. Symphony of Destruction and a bunch of other Megadeth songs regarding the pain and misery of war.
Non-metal ānormiesā wouldnāt get it that loud, aggro metal fiends just want peace, love and harmony.
If I didn't get into metal at the young age I did, I would probably have ended up an embarrassing normie. I would not be ME. That's for sure!
