[Verse]
             E7          
Brother will kill brother
         E            E7  E    Gb7
Spilling blood across the land ■  
A7                  
Killing for religion
                             E7
Something I don't understand ■ 
E7                             
Fools like me who cross the sea
    E7                   
And come to foreign lands
A7                         E7     
■  Ask the sheep for their beliefs
E7                          
Do you kill on God's command
          A7            
A country that's divided
E7                   
Surely will not stand


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


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


[Chorus]
E7    E C                       E                     
Sneak ■ attacks rappel down the rocks behind the lines
            C              E 
Some people risk to employ me
     E                        
Some people live to destroy me
       C            Bm Gb7     
Either way they die ■  they die

[Chorus]
                           C    E
They killed my wife and my baby ■
E                       
With hopes to enslave me
C            
First mistake
E             
■ Last mistake
            C       
Paid by the alliance
E                       
■ To slay all the giants
C           
Next mistake
   C            
No more mistakes

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