Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (Lyrics)

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
Suerely 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
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 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

The 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, i don't mean it 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, killings, killings
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts way

@Kellyjcarnes Thanks god I'm atheist too.

[makeris32]

@Kellyjcarnes so you prefer wars for money and wealth for already rich people?

[Kellyjcarnes]

Religious wars are the #1 cause of death in the world since the begining of human civilization It's good that I'm an atheist so I don't have to be a part of it or get blamed for it. Thank you megadeth for speaking out your opinion about this subject. Killing for religion, something I dont understand.... My sentiments exactly

[warlockgray1]

@xinic5 Ture That

[xinic5]

@xinic5 meant to say "Religious war"

[xinic5]

@warlockgray1 Not really. Religious word has been around forever. This song is ALWAYS relevant.
