Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (Rust In Pease 1990)
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 in 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, repel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die.
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.
