Masters of War is a 2007 album by Mountain. Written by: Bob Dylan Vocals: Leslie West / O. Osbourne --------------------------- Come you masters of war You that build the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know I can see through your masks Want you to know I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing 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 When the fast bullets fly And you turn and run When the fast bullets fly
You're the masters of war
Like Judas of old You lie and deceive 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 And I see through the water That runs down my drain
You then fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you sit back and watch While the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion While the young people's blood Flows out their bodies And buried in the mud
You're the masters of war You're the masters of war
Let me ask you one question Is your money that good? Would buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could?
I think you will find When death takes its toll All the money you made Won't buy back your soul
And I hope that you die And your death will come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed I'll stand over your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead
You're the masters of war You're the masters of war Masters of war You're the masters of war
