Lyrics
War Pigs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 don't they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
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 those bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of god has
struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
Oh common hear those pigs
calling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Satan!
