Sabbath Lyric - what do you think

[Apprentice of Marx]

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

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 judgment day comes!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
as the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgment, god is calling on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

What do you think about the lyrics and what do you think about Black Sabbath generally?

What do you think about the lyrics and what do you think about Black Sabbath generally?




my mum who generally naive, did not smoke, drink, curse, nothing married this really cool guy from los angeles and he listened to black sabath.

my mum had a thing for discearnment, which i guess means one who has a gift of foreknowing. anyway, she explained black sabbath as a band that was before their time and so weird that no one could understand their lyrics.

having analysed the music, it is pretty far out yet ozzy osborn wrote one of the best revolutionary songs to exist today and its called..."Children of the Grave"

lets face it, the man got spent, it happens to the best of us. people are not perfect yet through music we can achieve perfection.

i will try and find the lyrics and post them

btw Black Sabath Rocks

they really jam with their music, the lyrics...are another story!

another good one is "Into the Void"

[Palmares]

Is that the Winston Churchill song?

[Dench]

I´m a BIG Sabbath fan!! i can get you all the lyrics (i think) if you want it ?
Can´t really say that i like the years after they splitted the original formation so much, but it isn´t bad...

no, its not winston churchill. there is no winston churchill song only iron maiden (ROCKS!) uses it as an intro to the song "Aces High."

"War of Unknown Warriors"

"This is a war of the unknown warriors; but let all strive without failing in faith or in duty, and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from our age." Broadcast on the BBC, July 14, 1940.

"The Americans will always do the the right thing...after they've exhausted all the alternatives."

No, they're not Marxist. Despite their allusion to anti-corporatism. But yes, they're fantastic, although Cross Purposes was shite.

[InnocentCivilian]

here ya go!


Children of the Grave

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

Dench,

What does NIB stand for?

[Hampton]

http://www.black-sabbath.com/faq/faq.html#faq40

[Dench]

Cobber : Some people think that NIB stands for : Naitivety (Spelling ?) In Black, But i think that the name comes from Bill Ward or Geezer Butler, some of them had a nib- shaped beard...
But (as allways ?) you can´t really be shure when it comes to Sabbath! :)

I think you might just enjoy track 2 more.

Paranoid

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
