Lyrics Intros / Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
And fools like me
Who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep
For their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased
No more disgrace
Foolish naive stand
The end is near
It's crystal clear part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgment Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader out to change the world down
In my pulpit as the holier than thou
Could be messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die, they die
They killed my wife and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...
Last mistake.
Paid by the alliance,
To slay all the giants
Next mistake...
No more mistakes.
Fill the cracks in
With judicial granite
Because I don't say it
Don't mean I ain't thinkin' it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said
Now I must scream
Of the o-ver-dose
And the lack of mercy killings
Mercy killings, mercy killings
Killings killings killings
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away, yeah
