Anti-War Songs - The horrors of war and promoting peace

Black Sabbath: 'War Pigs' - Taken from the classic 1979 album 'Paranoid', this is Black Sabbath's blitzkrieg of an anti-war song. The song title is derived from the term 'walpurgis' meaning a witches sabbath, whilst the outro to the song has the separate title 'Luke's Wall'. The lyrics see Ozzy Osbourne call out politicians for “Only starting the war” and leaving the poor to go out and fight it.
