1:25Spilling blood across the land
1:30Killing for religion
1:32Will kill brotherBrother
1:35Something I don't understand
1:36Fools like me who cross the sea
1:41And come to foreign lands
1:43Ask the sheep for their beliefs
1:47Do you kill on God's command
1:49A country that's divided
1:52Surely will not stand
1:54My past erased no more disgrace
1:58No foolish naive stand
2:00The end is near it's crystal clear
2:03Part of the master plan
2:06Don't look now to Israel
2:09It might be in your homelands
2:12Holy wars
2:13Upon my podium as the
2:28Know it all scholar
2:29Down in my seat of judgement
2:31Gavel's bang uphold the law
2:33Up on my soapbox a leader
2:35Out to change the world
2:36Down in my pulpit as the holier
2:38Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
2:40Wage the war on organized crime
3:01Sneak attacks repel down the rocks
3:08Behind the lines
3:10Some people risk to employ me
3:15Some people live to destroy me
3:21Either way they die they die
3:25They killed my wife and my baby
3:54With hopes to enslave me
3:58First mistake last mistake
4:04Paid by the alliance to slay all the giants
4:13Next mistake no more mistakes
4:19Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
5:44Because I don't say it don't mean I ain't
5:49Thinking it
5:50Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
5:53I know what I said now I must scream of the overdose
6:08And the lack of mercy killings mercy killings mercy killings killings killings killings
6:19Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Will kill brotherBrother 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 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
