Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (2004 Remix) - Megadeth

Lyrics by：Dave Mustaine

Composed by：Dave Mustaine

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 naïve 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

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 rappel 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 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

Mercy killings mercy killings

Mercy killings

Killings killings killings

Next thing you know

They'll take my thoughts away
