War Pigs

If you watch Iron Man, you should heard of the world famous English heavy metal band Black Sabbath.




Black Sabbat
War Pigs, another song they made in 1970, is a famous anti-war song.
This song also have strong rhythm, full of passion and energy. As if it can explode at anytime.
Bassist Geezer Butler has said that the song was "totally against the Vietnam War, about how these rich politicians and rich people start all the wars for their benefit and get all the poor people to die for them". But the lead singer of Black Sabbath denied, stating that the group "knew nothing about Vietnam. It's just an anti-war song."
I have been playing it for a whole evening. The strong rhythm and lyrics denounced the war.
The general meaning of the song is to anti-war, which support the demonstration in America against the Vietnam War. So I think this song is based on real event.

Lyrics

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 role 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 were the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has sturck 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!
