War Pigs
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

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
as the war machine keeps 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
ALL RIGHT NOW

What's not to love?...Killer guitar and awesome drums on this one, too:)
I love that song, but then I love pretty much ALL of Black Sabbath's stuff. I remember the first time I heard War Pigs, only it was a cover version done by Faith No More, not Black Sabbath. It was on "The Real Thing" album, I believe. That was a great album, by the way. But, back to Sabbath, I thought one of their most unusual albums was "Sabotage." I have not been able to find this one anywhere on CD. I used to have the old vinyl record version, but lost it years ago. The whole sound of it was very...ummm...eerie. I liked it. They had a style all their own. Nobody else has ever sounded like them. Some people have said that Nirvana had Sabbath elements in their music,:rolleyes: I think not. Nobody sounds like Ozzy, which is why I never really liked any of their other albums they did with various frontmen. Well, Ronnie James Dio was OK on the Heaven and Hell album, but the rest were inferior, IMO.

Favorite Sabbath tracks:

Changes
War Pigs
Am I going Insane?
Iron Man
Planet Caravan (Remember the Pantera cover of this one?)
Black Sabbath (Intresting idea. Naming a song after the band)
Stonehenge
Hole In The Sky
Paranoid
Rat Salad
Electric Funeral
