Holy Wars [live] Lyrics - Still, Alive... And Well? - Megadeth

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 

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 

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 

Photos 

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
