Jeden ze základních kamenů hardrockové muziky 70. let a skupina, která naznačila další ubírání rockové hudby směrem k heavy metalu. Pozdější metalové proudy navazovaly i na jejich složku textovou a ideovou (okultismus, mysticismus apod.)....

Píseň: War Pigs

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Paranoid
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...
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 where the bodies 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 
Oh lord yeah!
