Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due From the album "Rust In Peace" released 1990.
Solo - 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 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
Solo - Friedman
Up on 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
Solo - Friedman
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
Solo - Friedman Solo - Mustaine
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, killings, killings, killings Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
From the album "Rust In Peace" released 1990.
Solo - 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 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
Solo - Friedman
Up on 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
Solo - Friedman
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
Solo - Friedman
Solo - Mustaine
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, killings, killings, killings
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
