Holy Wars (...the Punishment Due)

[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
