War Pigs

by Black Sabbath

v.1
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

Refrain
Politicians hide themselves away, they're always startin' the wars
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 til their judgement day comes

Instr. Brk.

v.2
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 pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins, Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah

Instr. Brk. to end
