[Verse 1]
[E5]Brother [Em]will [E5]kill [Bb]brother, spilling [E5]blood [Em]across the [E5]land[F#]
[Em]Kill[A5]ing for religion,
[Bb]some[A5]thing I do[E5]n't understand[Bb]
[A5]Fool[E5]s lik[Bb]e me [A5]who [E5]cross [Em]the s[E5]ea
[Bb]and come[E5] to fo[Em]reign [E5]land[F#]s[Em]

[A5]The [E5]end is n[Em]ear, i[E5]t's crystal clear,
[Bb]part of th[E5]e ma[Em]ster plan[E5]

Upon [E5]my podium a[Em]s the[E5] know-
it- all [Em]schol[D5]ar
[Em]Down in [E5]my seat of judge[C]ment,
[B]gavel's bang, [E5]uphold [Em]the l[D5]aw
[Em]Up on my[E5] soapbox,
a leader out to change the world
[D5]Down in my [Em]pulpit [E5]as the holier- than- thou- could- be-
[Em]messenger of [E5]God

[G5]crime[Em][E5]
Sneak [C]attacks,
rappel down the [Em]rock[E5]s behin[Em]d the lin[A5]es[E5]
Some [Em]people [C]risk to employ me,
[Em]some[E5] peopl[Em]e live to dest[E5]roy me
[Em]Either [C]way they [Em]die, [B]the[Em]y die[F#]![F][Em]

[Em]They killed [C]my wife and my [Em]baby
[E5]with[Em] hopes to enslave me[E5]
[Em]First mist[C]ake... last [Em]mist[E5]ake![Em][E5]
[Em]Paid by [C]the [Em]alliance [E5]to slay
all [Em]the [E5]giants[B]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Fill the cracks in [B]with ju[Em]dicial granite
Be[B]cause [Em]I don't say it,
[B]don't [Em]mean I ain't thinking it
[G]Nex[Em]t thing you know,
they'll [Am]take [Em]my thoughts a[B]way[Em]
I [G]know [Em]what I said,
[D5]now [Em]I must scream [G5]of th[Em]e ove[Am]rdos[Em]e[B][Em]
And the [G]lack [Em]of mercy ki[Dm]llin[Em]gs
Mercy killings, mer[B]cy [Em]killings,
killings, killings, killings
[G5][Em]

[Verse 7]
Next thing you know,
they'll take my thoughts away
