[Originally appeared on the album RUST IN PEACE]
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



...The Punishment Due



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
