MtB Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Generals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses. Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer 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.* Yeah! Time will tell on their power mind, ** 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 have the power, Hand of God has struck the hour. Day of judgement God is calling, On their knees the war pig's crawling. Begging mercy for their sins, Satan laughing spreads his wings. Oh lord yeah! Songwriters: F. IOMMI, W. WARD, T. BUTLER, J. OSBOURNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They help you to find the post you want to comment on and often just referring to the post number prevents a lot of copy and pasting. Just click the 'share' link at the top of the post that you wish to refer to. For the reader it is a vast improvement over post numbers as it saves them having to go look for it. They're already presented with the post right in front of them. Like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now don't try to kid me you don't know who Black Sabbath were or what label they were on... Always reminds me of the "Paranoid" single I bought, before going on to buying the album "Black Sabbath" (followed by most of their other albums, last one I bought was "13").

Athy Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 The only Tony Martin I know is the one who got sent to prison for shooting an intruder. I don't think he was in Black Sabbath. The first Vertigo record I remember was a revival of an old Bo Diddley song by a group called Juicy Lucy. It may have been the first record issued by the label. I have one by Aphrodite's Child (who included future big star Vangelis Pappathanassiou and even bigger star Demis Roussos) too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Dio replaced Ozzy in 1979 for a couple of years, then there were several other vocalists including Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen and Tony Martin.

If you over over the 'xx hours ago' it gives you the date and time posted, once the post is more than a day or so old, it also reverts to giving you the date rather than how long ago it was.
