War Pigs/Luke's Wall Lyrics
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 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 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
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah
Hats off to Black Sabbath for this song. I know a die-hard fan of theirs who apparently never heard the song because he has devoted his life to being a bit of a Loki figure and creating more conflict and turmoil in peoples lives than is ever necessary. It is fans like that that give a bad name to a band.
Additionally good on the subject is "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd
War maybe necessary(?), but No war is good !
