Holy Wars (...the Punishment Due) Lyrics - Rxbandits

[Originally by 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 in 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 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
