Bob Dylan - Masters Of War (The Avener Rework) Lyrics






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

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

And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
On a pale afternoon

I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Bob Dylan Masters Of War (The Avener Rework) Comments
  1. P.... A....

    Tristan Casara known by his stage name The Avener is a French deep house and electro music producer. He is best known for his 2014 single "Fade Out Lines", a deep house rework of "The Fade Out Line", a song by Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws.

  2. S.... ....

    Thanks but no thanks! The original will forever remain the best!

  3. A.... V....

    My god...

  4. D.... P....

    You had me. Lost power on the last verse. Voice Got buried in the mix when it should have got bigger in the mix. You must have had a reason for that though. I’m just not smart enough to figure it out. Great idea.

  5. K.... F....

    Look at them all waking up... your time has come... and I'll follow... your casket.. on a pale afternoon.. .. :) ;)

  6. j.... t....

    I was around when Dylan was revelant his songs touched people of ...he should put the songs to rest.

    j.... t....

    Still relevant today dipshit!

    j.... t....

    @Keith Folce thank you , I see you have a limited vocabulary so I will use little words for you since you weren't there. He's not anywhere close to being in the scene. He's a rich guy who doesn't have to struggle, and if a man isn't fighting the system anymore its because he's joined it dude. You probably don't have a clue what I mean.

  7. Z.... ....

    This is a really good mix, but it's a shame it cuts some of the best lines from the song. The parts on Jesus' forgiveness and unborn children are incredibly powerful parts.

  8. h.... m....

    Triple frontier introduced me to this song.

  9. e.... b....

    Love this remake, wish it was as long as the original.

  10. m.... ....

    yeah ,not bad , a full version with all the  lyrics would nail it though .

  11. M.... M....

    NO!!!! this is not Bob Dylan!!! This is just someone playing with his song! You suck!!!!

  12. t.... ....

    Brilliant.

  13. �.... N....

    Masterpiece, Dylans original and the remix...

  14. p.... ....

    Go off, Bob

  15. M.... T....

    Rhythmically, sounds pretty close to my obscure cover version of many years back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qcv6kT1MFY

  16. P.... J....

    What a great song ! And this remix arrangement brings the song up to date dramatically. The message remains current, and most appropriate today.
    Here I copy a few lines from the wiki page for the song. On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his farewell address from the Oval Office. In this speech, he warned that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." In an interview, published in USA Today on September 10, 2001 Dylan linked his song to Eisenhower's speech, saying:

    Masters of War"… is supposed to be a pacifistic song against war. It's not an anti-war song. It's speaking against what Eisenhower was calling a military-industrial complex as he was making his exit from the presidency. That spirit was in the air, and I picked it up.

  17. n.... ....

    This was a brilliant anti war folk song. WTF? I listened to this as a teenager. Going electric ok but the rest was awful!

  18. c.... m....

    woob woob woob wooob woob

  19. r.... b....

    Fake ! Shame on you !

  20. r.... b....

    What a shame !

  21. F.... ....

    What is this remix :ooo Simply too good !

  22. T.... C....

    horrible cover or remix, whatever this abomination is.

  23. A.... ....

    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
    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 all the triggers
    For the others to fire
    Then you sit back and watch
    When the death count gets higher
    You hide in your mansion
    While the 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
    That 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 will come soon
    I'll follow your casket
    By the pale afternoon
    And I'll watch while you're lowered
    Down to your deathbed
    And I'll stand over your grave
    'Til I'm sure that you're dead

    Net Flix film "TRIPLE FRONTIER" Brought me here.... Just fell in love with this song!

    F.... G....

    As an Engineer I am proud to build the "Big Guns" that defend America!

    F.... G....

    @Corvette Dude
    Big- biiiiiiiig guns or infantry guns?

    F.... G....

    The Masters of War (SherGun Remix) version used in the Triple Frontier trailer is this one: https://open.spotify.com/album/3OSxU99b7ypNA96CSRYu2D?si=jwxNQBPkRLmgCEENnqo9DA

    F.... G....

    @Corvette Dude I really mean no offence, but according to US Veteran's Network, only in the first two months of this month 1167 American soldiers committed suicide. Would you be " proud " of that too? And here is what depresses me the most: It seems that the life of a soldier is only worth something after he is dead. Until then, everybody is just " proud" of him or her, which is the easiest and most superficial thing to be.



    Because it certainly involves a self interest and it doesn't require any effort, any further thinking, any risk or questioning at all. Frankly, I find it maddening. I have read the following comment by a veteran the other day, under a speech on youtube about how to treat soldiers after they come back from war. What he says is very true and absolutely heart breaking:

    " As a vet myself, I'd like to make it clear that the only duty a civilian has to us, is to influence their politicians and leaders into making sure that those who do serve do not end up dying for the wrong reasons. If our war is abroad yours is surely at home, making sure we aren't being thrown to the fire for nothing. -Thank you"

  34. c.... d....

    Merveilleux ! J'adore ce sound ;+)

  35. J.... Q....

    I just want to hear the original, why is that so hard?!

    J.... Q....

    then google it

    J.... Q....

    @Showell Blades I tried. All I get are live versions & covers.

    J.... Q....

    @Showell Blades If you're able to find it I'd be grateful if you could give me a link to it.

    J.... Q....

    @Jon Quist ha...you're right. i tried. but the version i found which i'm talking about isn't on youtube but check it out on Bob Dylan: No Direction Home soundtrack. that's what i have and where i first heard it. may NOT be original.

    J.... Q....

    @Showell Blades Thanks for trying. That's probably the version I'm looking for. I have the album somewhere but I don't know where all my CDs are right now.

  36. e.... ....

    Great! A little more fast cutting and intensity at the end would make it even stronger.

  37. K.... W....

    Masters of War . . By the Master of Lyrics! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  38. S.... T....

    is the better of pop....

  39. v.... c....

  40. A.... D....

    Bloody hell I was expecting just another remix or something, but this.... this is brilliant

  41. E.... S....

    Awesome version of an awesome song. I’m continually amazed at how young he was when he wrote and performed such powerful music.

  42. D.... L....

    Tu assure là dessus l'artiste

  43. J.... B....

    I have a variant of this song 2nd in my 4:00h playlist. This same song sung by Ladydanielle Zana - Masters of War Cover Version. 2nd!!! next to Rising by the Revolution & Pyramids DVBBS. Both are Egyptian & I was wondering if I wanted 10min song at the top, well it's that good...

  44. P.... P....

    _The Predator_

  45. R.... C....

    Seriously? All comments? There is a message. You want war??? US especially then Russians. Germans lost twice but won now. And you all talk about his voice.

  46. g.... ....

    This sounds like a theme to a crime drama series

  47. G.... M....

    Be interesting to see what Dylan thinks of it, I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

    G.... M....

    Glenn Maher he’s actually the one that asked The Avener to remix it funnily enough and he loved it.

  48. S.... F....

    Where I can find the version of triple frontier ?

    S.... F....

    This is it.

    S.... F....

    Platinum Poop the one that is used in movie seems different a bit to me.

    S.... F....

    Syed Fahad Ali Shah
    They took the lyrics of this version and mixed it with the another version of the song, it seems.

    S.... F....

    yeah it seems like this. because the version in the movie have more intensity from this one.

  49. M.... B....

    Triple Frontier brought me here. Netflix killing it!
