In the original (or rather proto-) version called Walpurgis, it was “Witches gather at black masses/Bodies burning in red ashes”

yeah i love sabbath but this isnt the lyric to be boasting on its own

tbf they are different words, i’ve always seen it as a tongue in cheek thing.

Politicians hide themselves away / They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? / They leave that all to the poor, yeah! 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! [Guitar Solo]
