Pigs
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Lyrics

Generals gathered in their masses
The leaders of nations have come together in great numbers

Just like witches at black masses
Their unity is reminiscent of the gathering of witches for dark purposes

Evil minds that plot destruction
Their intentions are malevolent and focused on causing harm

Sorcerers of death's construction
They are adept at manipulating the forces of death and destruction

In the fields the bodies burning
The casualties of war are burning in the fields

As the war machine keeps turning
The war effort grows stronger and continues to cause destruction

Death and hatred to mankind
The consequences of war are death and a deep hatred for one's fellow human beings

Poisoning their brainwashed minds
The violence and propaganda of war has taken over their minds

Oh lord, yeah!
The singer is expressing exasperation and despair

War pigs, war pigs
The leaders of the war efforts are referred to as 'war pigs'

Now in darkness, world stops turning
The world is plunged into darkness and chaos

As the war machine keeps burning
The instruments of war continue to cause destruction and death

No more war pigs of the power
The powerful leaders who started the war are no longer in control

The hand of God has struck the hour
God has intervened and put an end to the war

Day of judgement, God is calling
It is a time of reckoning, and God is summoning them

On their knees, the war pigs crawling
The powerful leaders of the war are begging for mercy

Begging mercy for their sins
They are pleading for forgiveness for their actions

Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Satan is pleased with the chaos and destruction that has occurred

All right now!
The singer is expressing optimism that the war is finally over

Politicians hide themselves away
The politicians who started the war are now in hiding

They only started the war
They are responsible for initiating the conflict

Why should they go out to fight?
They do not want to risk their own lives in the war

They leave that role to the poor
They delegate the task of fighting to those who are less privileged

Time will tell on their power minds
The effects of their actions will catch up to them eventually

Making war just for fun
They see war as a game or sport

Treating people just like pawns in chess
They view the lives of others as mere tools to be used for their own gain

Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah
They will face consequences for their actions on judgement day

War pigs, war pigs
The leaders of the war effort are again referred to as 'war pigs'

War pigs, war pigs
The repetition of the phrase emphasizes their role in the conflict

War pigs, war pigs
It is a final condemnation of their actions

War pigs, war pigs
The repetition is a final reminder of their guilt and responsibility for the war

War pigs, war pigs
The final repetition is a statement of contempt for these leaders

War pigs, war pigs
The song ends with a continuing condemnation of the war leaders
