Holy Wars...The Punishment Due (Live At Obras Sanitarias Stadium, Argentina, 2005)

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 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 leadеr out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holiеr-than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, rappel down the rocks, behind the lines
Ho 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
Killings, killings, killings, killings

Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away

Thank you, thank you all
We love you

You've been great, we've been Megadeth
Goodnight!

I heard somebody fixed today, there was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out, I heard somebody turned to dust
Looking back at what he left a list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung, these are the things he won't get done
The things he won't get done

I've seen the man use the needle
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
They fight a war, but it's fatal
It's so hard to understand, I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man
