Holy Wars...The Punishment Due |
| 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 homelands |
| Holy wars |
| Upon my podium, as the |
| Now 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 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 overdose |
| And the lack of mercy killings |
| Mercy killings |
| Mercy killings |
| Killings, killings, killings, killings |
| Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away |
