- War Pigs LyricsGenerals 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 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the 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 pig's 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
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
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the 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 pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
oh lord yeah!

✔️
When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs' is an outright condemnation of the warmongers' actions, and they are compared to the evil wizards summoning the demon of destruction. The politicians appear as puppets who pull the strings for the wars but do not fight in them, thus only letting the poor people suffer. The lyrics picture a debased war scenario with the main theme of judgment and demise for the purveyors of death and injustice so that it is even through bloodshed and torrents of violence that the righteous get their lives. War pigs lyrics mainly spotlight the social commentary, despair, and so on. The song, however, is equally upfront about the matters of war and destruction, political power, and moral criticism. The lyrics indeed speak of war, death, and destruction, which are strong and may not be suitable for kids. The depictions of burning corpses and the representation of politicians and soldiers in war suggest mature topics that are only for adults.

Sounds to me like it's about the nazis, give it a listen and tell me it doesn't describe the rapings of Austria, Checkoslavakia, Poland, France, Greece, Normandy, etc.

WW2 leading up to dropping bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Playing God in all our superiority and stupidity. I think of the quote Robert Oppenheimer used when he saw the first bomb tests: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" (from Bhagavad Gita)
