War Pigs

Probably top 5 all-time greatest metal song because the song is so timeless:



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 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 judgement 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 judgement, god is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord, yeah!

Good live version:

Agreed. Can't imagine the young'ins hearing this compared to the other music that was around. Must have blew many many minds.
I was about 15 years too late to hear it when it came out new.

I also like into the void.

Black Sabbath is one of the greatest bands of all time and this song is amazing (as is the entire album). Pretty random post, but I sure can't argue with the content.

Kinda cute

Yeah, a bit of fandom. I just heard the song today and I was thinking how monumentally great it was.

Just don't make it your karaoke song, mkay?

a reply to: dfnj2015

That's my intro song before playing Sins of a Solar Empire. A good gamer would see how well they match.
