Walpurgis [Early Version of "War Pigs"] lyrics

Witches gather at black masses

Bodies burning in red ashes

On the hill the church in ruin

Is the scene of evil doings

It's a place for all bad sinners

Watch them eating dead rats' innards

I guess it's the same,

where ever you may go

Oh, Lord, yeah

Carry banners which denounce the Lord

See me rocking in my grave

See them anoint my head with dead rat's blood

See them stick the stake through me

Oh

Don't hold me back cause I've just gotta go

They've got a hold of my soul now

Lord's got my brain instinct with blood obscene1

Look in my eyes I'm there enough

Yeah

On the scene a priest appears

Sinners falling at his knees

Satan sends out funeral pyre

Casts the priest into the fire

It's the place for all bad sinners

Watch them eating dead rats' innards

I guess it's the same

whereever you may go

Oh, Lord, yeah
