Lyrics

[01:31.160] Spilling blood across the land
[01:34.350] Killing for religion
[01:35.190] will kill brotherBrother
[01:36.790] Something I don't understand
[01:40.040] Fools like me, who cross the sea
[01:42.660] And come to foreign lands
[01:45.600] Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
[01:48.220] Do you kill on God's command?
[01:51.350] A country that's divided
[01:53.160] Surely will not stand
[01:56.910] My past erased, no more disgrace
[01:59.540] No foolish naive stand
[02:02.720] The end is near, it's crystal clear
[02:05.810] Part of the master plan
[02:08.240] Don't look now to Israel
[02:10.610] It might be in your homelands
[02:14.050] Holy wars!
[02:28.100] Upon my podium, as the
[02:29.160] Know it all scholar
[02:30.790] Down in my seat of judgement
[02:32.720] Gavel's bang, uphold the law
[02:35.160] Up on my soapbox, a leader
[02:36.660] Out to change the world
[02:38.350] Down in my pulpit as the holier
[02:40.910] Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
[02:59.290] Wage the war on organized crime
[03:03.220] Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
[03:10.470] Behind the lines
[03:13.600] Some people risk to employ me
[03:17.410] Some people live to destroy me
[03:20.660] Either way they die.
[03:22.830] They killed my wife, and my baby
[03:57.270] With hopes to enslave me
[04:01.330] First mistake...last mistake!
[04:07.580] Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
[04:16.460] Next mistake...no more mistakes!
[05:42.360] Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
[05:47.550] Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
[05:51.170] thinking it
[05:52.730] Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
[05:57.740] I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
[06:08.740] And the lack of mercy killings.
[06:28.250] Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away!
