Lyrics

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 naïve stand
 The end is near, it's crystal clear
 Part of the master plan
 Don't look now to Israel
 It might be your homeland
 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
 ♪
 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 thinking 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
 
 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?

 Surely will not stand
 My past erased, no more disgrace
