"Children of the Grave" is a song by White Zombie off the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black which was used as a promo single in 1994. The track is a cover of Black Sabbath's classic 1971 song "Children of the Grave".It is the first White Zombie release featuring Terry Date who would later produce the band's bestselling album Astro-Creep: 2000. It was also the last release to have Phil Buerstatte playing the drums as he would be kicked out of the band later that year.

Contains the following vocal sample: "In Los Angeles, 1969, they shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned nine people to death committing one of the most heinous crimes in history.", a reference to the Tate/La Bianca killings by Charles Manson and the Family in 1969.
