Megadeth
Holy Wars... The Punishment Due (Casey McMakin Demo)
(Holy Wars)
[Verse 1]
Brother will kill brother, spilling blood across the land
Killing for your god, 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, my life disgraced, no foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear, part of the master plan
It might not start in Israel, it might be your homeland
Holy wars....
(The Punishment Due)
[Verse 2]
And the punishment due..
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!
Holy wars have made the Earth
And left a fractured sky
Presidents invade the Earth
Cease a daily disguise
[Verse 4]
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!
Holy wars have made the Earth
And left a fractured sky
Presidents invade the Earth
Cease a daily disguise
Disguise!
(Holy Wars)
[Verse 5]
Scarred through the metal
Don't want your sorrow
Scarred through the metal
Don't want your sorrow
Because I don't say it don't mean I ain't thinking it
Next thing you know, they take my thoughts away
I scream in my brain, but I can't scream
Comatose
Mercy killings
Mercy killings
Mercy killings
Killings, killings, killings, killings
I scream in my brain, but I can't scream
Take my thoughts away
