[Verse]
E7                       
Brother will kill brother
                          E    E7
Spilling blood across the land ■ 
        A7          
Killing for religion
                  E7         A7 E7
Something I don't understand ■  ■ 
A7 E7                             
■  Fools like me who cross the sea
            E7           
And come to foreign lands
A7                G7           
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
       G7                   
Do you kill on God's command


[Chorus]
E7                      
A country that's divided
                E    
Surely will not stand
Gb7 E7      A7                     
■   My past erased no more disgrace
           E7    A7 E7   
No foolish naïve ■  stand
           E7                     
The end is near it's crystal clear
E7                     
Part of the master plan
A7                      
Don't look now to Israel
E7                       
It might be your homeland
A7      E   
■  Holy wars


[Bridge]
        E                              
Upon my podium as the knowitall scholar
                                     E7                 
Down in my seat of judgement gavel's bang uphold the law
                 E7                              
Up on my soapbox a leader out to change the world
           E                                                   C E
Down in my pulpit as the holierthanthoucouldbemessenger of God ■ ■

[Chorus]
     C          E              
Wage the war on organized crime
C                             E                     
Sneak attacks rappel down the rocks behind the lines
     C                       
Some people risk to employ me
E                             
Some people live to destroy me
       C            E      Gb7
Either way they die ■ they die

[Verse]
     E7     C                   E7
They killed my wife and my baby ■ 
E                       
With hopes to enslave me
C            
First mistake
E             
■ Last mistake


[Chorus]
     C              
Paid by the alliance
E                       
■ To slay all the giants
C           
Next mistake
Gb7             
No more mistakes

[Chorus]
                        E        E7      E
Fill the cracks in with judicial granite ■
E7                    
Because I don't say it
      E7                      
Don't mean I ain't thinking it
E7                                               
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
  E7              
I know what I said
E7                               
Now I must scream of the overdose
        E    E7                  
And the lack ■  of mercy killings
E7            
Mercy killings
E7            
Mercy killings
E7                        
Killings killings killings
               E7                                
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
