War Pigs - Ozzy Osbourne
Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death’s construction In the fields are 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 all to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait til the judgement day comes Now in darkness world stops turning As you hear the bodies burning No more warpigs have the power And as God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the warpigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings, oh lord yeah
I'm was not familiar with this song. I learned about it in Martha Stout's "The Sociopath Next Door".
She write of her concern after the catastrophe of September 11, which "propelled all people of conscience into anguish, and some into despair."
"From nowhere, a line from a thirty-year-old apocalyptic song invaded my thought whenever I tried to relax or sleep: 'Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.' The winged Satan in my mind's eye, roaring with cynical laughter and rising from the wreckage, was not a terrorist, but a demonic manipulator who used the terrorists' acts to ignite the kindling of hatred all over the globe."
