About War Pigs

War Pigs Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

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 judgment day comes, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

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 Judgment, God is calling

On their knees, the war pigs crawling

Begging mercies for their sins

Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

Oh, Lord, yeah

[Instrumental Outro]
