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.

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...
