Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Holy Wars]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Holy Wars Verse]
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

[Punishment Due]

[Bridge]
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

[Punishment Due Verse 1]
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!

[Guitar Break]

[Punishment Due Verse 2]
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!

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
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
