David Ellefson - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due lyrics

[Holy Wars] [Instrumental Intro] [Holy Wars Verse] Brother will k** brother Spilling blood across the land k**ing 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 k** 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 [Punishment Due] [Bridge] 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 [Punishment Due Verse 1] 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! [Guitar Break] [Punishment Due Verse 2] They k**ed 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! [Guitar Break] [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Outro] 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 k**ings Mercy k**ings Mercy k**ings, k**ings, k**ings, k**ings Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
