Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth

Brother will kill brother

Spilling blood across the land

Killing for religion

Something I don't understand

Fools like me, who cross the sea

And come to foreign lands

Ask the sheep, for their  beliefs

Do you kill on Gods command?

A country that's divided

Surely will not stand

My past erased, no more disgrace

No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it's crystal clear

Part of 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 judgement

Gavels bang, uphold the law

Up to my soapbox, a leader

Out to change the world

Down in my pulpilt as the holler

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 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 judical granite

Because I don't say it don't mean I aint

Thinkin' it

Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away

I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose

And the lack of mercy killings
