Terrible lyrics. Mandela effect.

These used to be the lyrics:

Generals studying their passes
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 churning
Death and hatred to mankind

Now:

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

--

Just glitches in the matrix?

Lyrics of War Pigs by Black Sabbath​


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 minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their 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 pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah

I think this is the original only version of the song War Pigs

The original title of "War Pigs" was "Walpurgis", dealing with the witches' sabbath.[4][5] "Walpurgis is sort of like Christmas for Satanists. And to me, war was the big Satan", said bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler. "It wasn't about politics or government or anything. It was Evil itself. So I was saying 'generals gathered in the masses / just like witches at black masses' to make an analogy. But when we brought it to the record company, they thought 'Walpurgis' sounded too Satanic. And that's when we turned it into 'War Pigs'. But we didn't change the lyrics, because they were already finished."[6]

What I'm saying is, there has been a Mandela effect on the song. I heard it many times in the car, growing up, on mom & dad's pre-set classic rock station. I liked it. I knew the words. When a Mandela effect occurs, it reaches back to the beginning, and albums and books are changed.

Like Berenstein Bears vs. Berenstain Bears. People who worked in libraries and book stores knew the titles to be "Berenstein", but try to find a book that has it right since the Mandela effect changed the matrix. There was one single book that someone found in their attic that still said "Berenstein".

May be a black-and-white image of 1 person and text that says 'If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. You've got to e your own biggest fan, even when you're your own worst enemy. -Ozzy Osbourne Au'


May be an image of text that says 'One person affects the whole universe. If you improve yourself as a human being then you will contribute for the betterment of the whole planet.'

This is Vernon and Gladys Presley during Elvis’s concert in Tupelo, 1956 — and this photo is more than just a frozen moment in time. It’s a quiet testament to the love, pride, and unwavering belief of two parents who had always known their son was special. Their eyes say everything. In the middle of the excitement, they’re watching not a star, but their boy, living out a dream they had seen forming since he was just a child with a secondhand guitar.
Vernon and Gladys didn’t just support Elvis — they protected him. When critics doubted him, when others questioned his style or voice, they never asked him to stop. They stood beside him, steady and calm. They knew the world didn’t always understand, but they did. They saw the purpose behind his passion, and they trusted it.
That photo captures more than two proud parents in a crowd. It captures a bond so deep, it helped Elvis stay grounded while reaching the very top. And maybe that’s what gave him the courage to keep going — knowing that no matter how loud the world got, his biggest believers were always right there.

I really do like Elvis's music. Had several albums of his as a kid, many good memories

I guess I don't understand what you are saying, the song was never ever written or sung the 1st way you said is the original way that has been changed to the current verses? I just listened to the album Paranoid released in 1970 and War Pigs is sung by Ozzy with the same lyrics I listed exactly, the original, the only way Black Sabbath performs that song. Maybe you heard it wrong or maybe another band covered that song and changed the words? Sometimes Ozzy is hard to understand. I guess I really don't understand the Matrix and the Mandela effect , is when people in their head see or hear something different from the original title of a book or a song lyric and then change it to the way they think it is?

Some say yes, but I've seen too many examples of the real thing.

The "Mandela effect" was from a South African student's confusion of Nelson Mandela with Steven Biko, who died at the hands of police decades earlier in the fight against apartheid. The student wrote of him, but as Mandela, and said Mandela had died in prison. After the Mandela effect began to be talked about, someone produced a copy of that old college newspaper with the erroneous article in it.

But there are other "Mandela effects", based on the idea that our reality is a simulation, that we're in a virtual reality game in a computer, overseen by overlords above or outside of it, and that the game set can be changed by its designers at any time.

A popular "Mandela effect" is the example I gave, of the Berenstein Bears books.

Some say Jif peanut butter used to be Jiffy. I think they're confusing it with Skippy.

Some say Bragg Aminos used to be labeled "Braggs Aminos".

But I do have a real one. When I used to stand outside on smoke breaks at the old brick & mortar, watching cars go by, I would see the Cooper Mini cars and think I wanted to try one, so I researched them online for years until I could justify getting a new car. They used to be universally referred to as the "Cooper Mini". The original maker was Cooper Car Company. By the time I bought one, they were universally called the "Mini Cooper", and there is no trace of them ever named in the reverse, but I know they were.

I know I knew the lyrics to War Pigs, a song that appealed to my anti-war soul and the idea that wars were chess games using human pieces, and cruel games for big defense profits. The lyrics everybody thinks they know now are degraded from the way they were originally. When there is that glitch in the matrix, yes, your CD's are going to have the lyrics the way they are now.

The degradation of the lyrics is fairly minor, but it's real.
