- War Pigs Lyrics / with translationsGenerals 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
ashes were the bodies burning
No more war pigs of 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!
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like Witches at Black Masses
In the fields their bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
It's the same wherever you go
To the War Pigs people know
OH LORD YEAH!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes ... Yeah!
People running like they're sheep in fields
People blowing out their minds
Say that you're dying here ... I know it now
Hey, you're the goner at the end ... Yeah!
On the scene a priest appears
Hell is falling at his knees
Satan sends out funeral pyre
Cast the priest into the fire
It's the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat cinders
It's the same wherever you go
To Black Masses people go
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
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 were the bodies burning
No more war pigs of 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!
Generals gathered in their masses
In the fields their bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
It's the same wherever you go
To the War Pigs people know
OH LORD YEAH!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes ... Yeah!
People running like they're sheep in fields
People blowing out their minds
Say that you're dying here ... I know it now
Hey, you're the goner at the end ... Yeah!
On the scene a priest appears
Hell is falling at his knees
Satan sends out funeral pyre
Cast the priest into the fire
It's the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat cinders
It's the same wherever you go
To Black Masses people go
OH LORD YEAH!

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, 'War Pigs', a song by Ozzy Osbourne, is an argument against the warmongers and corrupt statesmen that fight wars while keeping themselves safe. The lyrics portray the leaders of the war as supercilious and unfeeling, using people as pawns in their power games. The metaphor of 'war pigs' stands for the rulers who, instead of protecting their subjects, get addicted to power through and destruction, while 'judgment day' alludes to the ultimate retribution they will suffer due to their misdeeds. The lyrics of war pigs predominantly highlight anguish, despair, fury, social critique, and meditation. Likewise, the song points out the dominance of war and destruction, the vice of politics and the need for judgment and accountability. The lyrics revolve around the topics of war, destruction, and death, which could be considered unsuitable for children below the age of 13.
