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 and 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
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
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 and 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
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!

treating people just like pawns in chess wait till theyre judgement day comes yea.
Wow.
I think that this song is talking about how polititians (leaders of countries) start the war, but are too cowardly to fight it out themselves, so they send out the poorer people.
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor (the national acrobat)
Geezer start to explain to himself....we all others know that..it is not hidden! But Gezer wrote it into a famous song! It not so easy as it stands!

Geezer try to explain but do not understand what he is fighting.
Its obvious that war is a bad thing for everyone by anyone.
but he can't explain the cause...the real cause...
the next albums will be more analytic.
to connect..see 'national acrobat' posts and his point of view!
then may be you explain the Sabbath's point of view of for life.
If they sign their songs supporting life and love then that life for someones is just like hell !
