Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] 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 homeland Holy wars... [Short Instrumental Break] 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 [Short Instrumental Break] Wage the war on organised 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! [Short Instrumental Break] 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! [Instrumental Break] 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
