Luke's Wall/war Pigs
Black Sabbath · Other Songs - Black Sabbath
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 of the power
Hand of god has sturck 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!
Luke's Wall/war Pigs
This track represents a significant evolution in Black Sabbath's musical trajectory, blending the band's signature heavy sound with progressive rock elements. Originally recorded during the late 1970s, the song features a complex structure that diverges from the straightforward riffs of their earlier work, showcasing Ozzy Osbourne's vocal range and the band's growing experimentation. While often associated with the 'Paranoid' era, this specific recording highlights the group's transition toward a more intricate style, influencing the development of heavy metal as a distinct genre. The composition serves as a testament to the band's ability to adapt their sound while maintaining their core identity, making it a crucial piece in their discography that bridges the gap between their classic and progressive periods.
