[00:00.00] Ti:Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
[00:10.80] Ar:Megadeth
[00:25.13] Al:<Rust In Peace>
[00:42.28]
[01:27.85] Brother will kill brother
[01:30.32] Spilling blood across the land
[01:33.25] Killing for religion
[01:36.00] Something I don't understand
[01:38.95]
[01:39.26] Fools like me, who cross the sea
[01:41.84] And come to foreign lands
[01:44.48] Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
[01:47.46] Do you kill on God's command?
[01:49.68]
[01:50.48] A country that's divided
[01:53.29] Surely will not stand
[01:55.82] My past erased, no more disgrace
[01:58.72] No foolish naive stand
[02:01.18]
[02:01.78] The end is near, it's crystal clear
[02:04.49] Part of the master plan
[02:06.93] Don't look now to Israel
[02:09.65] It might be in your homelands
[02:12.88]
[02:13.14] Holy wars!
[02:15.28]
[02:24.90] Upon my podium, as the
[02:27.84] Know it all scholar
[02:29.75] Down in my seat of judgement
[02:31.49] Gavel's bang, uphold the law
[02:33.53] Up on my soapbox, a leader
[02:35.58] Out to change the world
[02:36.99] Down in my pulpit as the holier
[02:38.77] Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
[02:43.03]
[02:56.51] Wage the war on organized crime
[03:04.16] Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
[03:09.12] Behind the lines
[03:12.35] Some people risk to employ me
[03:16.09] Some people live to destroy me
[03:20.15] Either way they die.
[03:27.19]
[03:50.51] They killed my wife, and my baby
[03:54.92] With hopes to enslave me
[03:59.61] First mistake...last mistake!
[04:06.39] Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
[04:14.51] Next mistake...no more mistakes!
[04:21.38]
[05:40.43] Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
[05:45.42] Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
[05:49.29] thinking it
[05:50.94] Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
[05:55.74] I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
[06:06.85] And the lack of mercy killings.
[06:20.72]
[06:26.04] Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away!
[06:29.87] <The End>
