War pigs - Black Sabbeth

"War Pigs" is a song by Black Sabbath, released in 1970 on their album Paranoid. It’s a heavy metal anti-war anthem, critiquing the hypocrisy and greed of those in power who send young soldiers to die in wars for their own gain. The lyrics, penned by Geezer Butler, were inspired by the Vietnam War, with vivid imagery of destruction and judgment, like “Generals gathered in their masses / Just like witches at black masses.” The song’s raw, heavy riffs and Ozzy Osbourne’s haunting vocals made it a standout track, often seen as a precursor to the doom metal subgenre.
It’s been covered by bands like Faith No More and has appeared in media like 300: Rise of an Empire and video games like Guitar Hero. The song’s runtime is about 7:57 in its original form, though some radio edits are shorter. Its message remains relevant, resonating with audiences during conflicts like the Iraq War.
