War Pigs

Off the beaten path a little today. But still following on from yesterdays Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath theme (gotta love it when you get these stuck in your head).

I've never been a fan of war. Far too often people are fighting over a piece of land and frankly that'll never be worth dying for. I can understand having to stand up for ideals... but never stuff.

"War Pigs" by Sabbath (although pretty much always credited to Ozzy (as is most of Sabbath erroneously).

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 to the poor
Yeah!

Time will tell they are power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till 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 pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
OH LORD YEAH

This is one time I'll agree, the Oz man always came straight with his message.
