Megadeth Holy Wars [live] Lyrics

Holy Wars [live] Lyrics

Brother will kill brother spilling blood across the land

Killing for religion something I don't understand

And 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 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 judgment 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

Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away, yeah
