[length: 06:33]
[01:27.75]Brother will kill brother
[01:29.92]Spilling blood across the land
[01:32.80]Killing for religion
[01:35.35]Something I don’t understand
[01:38.61]Fools like me, who cross the sea
[01:41.37]And come to foreign lands
[01:44.11]Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
[01:47.06]Do you kill on God’s command?
[01:50.08]A country that’s divided
[01:52.39]Surely will not stand
[01:55.27]My past erased, no more disgrace
[01:58.10]No foolish naive stand
[02:01.03]The end is near, it’s crystal clear
[02:03.71]Part of the master plan
[02:06.51]Don’t look now to Israel
[02:09.38]It might be your homelands
[02:12.20]Holy wars
[02:15.81]
[02:25.15]Upon my podium, as the
[02:27.35]Know it all scholar
[02:29.55]Down in my seat of judgement
[02:31.15]Gavel’s bang, uphold the law
[02:33.29]Up on my soapbox, a leader
[02:34.92]Out to change the world
[02:36.52]Down in my pulpit as the holier
[02:38.44]Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
[02:42.25]
[02:55.28]Wage the war on organized crime
[03:02.23]Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
[03:08.40]Behind the lines
[03:10.82]Some people risk to employ me
[03:15.43]Some people live to destroy me
[03:18.98]Either way they die. They die
[03:26.08]
[03:49.57]They killed my wife and my baby,
[03:54.35]With hopes to enslave me
[03:58.49]First mistake… last mistake
[04:05.03]Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
[04:12.77]Next mistake… no more mistakes!
[04:19.81]
[05:39.56]Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
[05:44.65]Because I don’t say it, don’t mean I ain’t
[05:48.93]Thinkin’ it.
[05:50.55]Next thing you know, they’ll take my thoughts away
[05:55.24]I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
[06:03.17]
[06:05.50]And the lack of mercy killers.
[06:11.76]Mercy killings, mercy killers
[06:16.57]Killers killers killers
[06:21.27]
[06:24.91]Next thing you know they’ll take my thoughts away.
