Masters of War - Bob Dylan

Masters of War

Bob Dylan


Lyrics:
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build the big bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks


You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

Letra: 
Vengan, amos de la guerra,
ustedes que fabrican las armas,
ustedes que fabrican los mortíferos aviones,
ustedes que fabrican las grandes bombas,
ustedes que se esconden tras los muros,
ustedes que se esconden detrás de los escritorios.
Solo quiero que sepan
que puedo ver a través de sus máscaras.

Ustedes que no han hecho nunca nada
salvo construir para destruir.
Ustedes juegan con mi mundo
como si fuera vuestro pequeño juguete.
Ponen una pistola en mi mano
y se esconden de mi vista,
se dan la vuelta y huyen lejos
cuando las balas veloces vuelan.

Como el Judas de antaño,
mienten y engañan.
Una guerra mundial puede ser ganada,
es lo que desean que yo crea,
pero veo a través de sus ojos
y a través de su mente
así como puedo ver a través del agua,
esa que corre por mi drenaje.

Ustedes preparan los gatillos
para que otros los disparen,
luego se apartan y esperan
a que el conteo de muertes aumente.
Se esconden en su mansión
mientras la sangre de los jóvenes
se escapa de sus cuerpos
y se hunde en el barro.

Ustedes extendieron el peor miedo
que jamás se haya propagado,
el miedo de traer niños
a este mundo.
Por haber amenazado a mi hijo
sin nacer y sin un nombre,
ustedes no valen la sangre
que corre por sus venas.

Cuánto sabré yo
para hablar así a destiempo.
Podrán decir que soy joven,
podrán decir que soy un ignorante,
pero hay algo que sí sé
aunque sea más joven que ustedes:
ni siquiera Jesús, jamás,
perdonaría lo que hacen.

Déjenme hacerles una pregunta:
¿Es tan bueno su dinero?,
¿comprará con éste su perdón?
¿creen que lo hará?
Pienso que se darán cuenta,
cuando su muerte cobre su parte,
que todo el dinero que hicieron
jamás les comprará de vuelta su alma.

Y espero que mueran,
que su muerte llegue pronto.
Acompañaré sus ataúdes
en una pálida tarde,
y observaré mientras son bajados
hacia su lecho de muerte.
Y me quedaré parado sobre sus tumbas
hasta estar seguro de que estén muertos.

§1 - Opeth

 §1 Opeth Lyrics: Draped in death, the howl of lore Draped in death, the howl of lore   Alas, my time is at an end I have wallowed in self-pity And I confess to you As part of final plight   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   A syndicates mass in the waiting room Like spiders weave And rumors spread fast above regal tombs Enacted grief   I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding) And guide my children through my trials   Put your trust in my command I thin the blood. I lift my hand   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   Letra: Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición   Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición     Ay, mi tiempo ha llegado...

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

The Alien - Dream Theater

 The Alien Dream Theater Lyrics: Look beyond the Earth, heading set for the stars Interplanetary, some are near, some are far Terraform a new world, survival for mankind Options but a few, we are running out of time   Should you climb aboard A voyage, the first of its kind Ready to explore All that you've known left behind   Our Holy Grail Now redefined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now with the means to expand Life beyond here, digital man   Alien, changed forever New found world in the stars   Understand the meaning Certain we'll extend the scale of consciousness Woman, child and man Multi planet species out amongst the stars Not stuck in and around who and what we are   Time to climb aboard Countdown to takeoff on time Systems are online (5, 4, 3, 2) Farewell to all humankind (1)   Our Holy Grail Clearly defined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now wi...
