Holy Wars...the Punishment Due - Remastered 2004 Lyrics - 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 God's 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 the master plan 

Don't look now to Israel 

It might be your homeland 

Holy wars... 

Upon my podium as the know-it-all scholar 

Down in my seat of judgement, 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 organised crime 

Sneak attacks, rappel 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 thinking 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 

Mercy killings 

Mercy killings, killings, killings, killings 

Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
