Megadeth – Holy Wars… The Punishment Due (SiriusXM 2022)



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 homelands
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 leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

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

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
Thinkin’ 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 killers.
Mercy killings, mercy killers
Killers killers killers
Next thing you know they’ll take my thoughts away

  1. Glen Fricker said it best:
    "when you hear James Hetfield, you recognize him instantly. When you hear Axl Rose, you recognize him instantly. When you hear Dave Mustaine, you wish you hadn't…"

    while I respect the man, they need a new singer.

  2. Say what you will…but Mustaine has been rocking for 40 yrs. His latest production of Sick, Dying, Dead is simply his BEST work so far. I LOVE "Angry Again" and all of the early stuff, but THIS!!…is just incredible.

  3. At this point he should either give up the singing position or just stop altogether honestly. I know you people admire him for still going after all the shit he's been through but really, as a "I'm not a big fan but I still enjoy it" person, I'd rather remember Megadeth live as a good performing band rather than this barely articulating mess.

  4. yoooo. YESSSSS. dave sounds fucking amazing. like, the best he's been in YEARS. i think he's starting to use his aged voice to his advantage: hitting the notes he can, placing vibrato for effect, and growling/singing the low notes when he's unsure. we love you dave, and we're so glad you're still kickin ass 🖤🖤🖤

  5. There's dropping half step because your balls aren't in a vice anymore, but a whole step changes the entire key in a bad way and makes all the nice melodic sounds of multiple guitar tracks sounds like ass holes now. Sorry Dave, wtf happened?

  6. An easy holy war that would keep people out of most wars is to ask God to have rapists, kidnappers, exploitation artists who are aware of their crimes and refuse to change and murderers who are actually murderers not someone who kills their rapist or defends themselves from an unwarranted attack to handle god’s judgement meaning if they deliver themselves up to the death penalty for gross crimes against humanity and remove bloodguilt off the land there might not be bloodguilt polluting the land that leads to war…that being said some of the most guilty of things like serial raping and directing of murders, exploitation, drugging others and raping them are among religious leaders .Judas Iscariot’s death met legal requirements for those who sell others to have them falsely executed through a legal system which is murder. If god removes individuals handling crimes against humanity the likelihood of world war three happening with the intensity the one and two had or worse will be less likely and war can be turned back by legally establishing death penalties for rapists….especially child rapists or ones who sell the videos of them being raped in “legal” porn rings…there is sufficient knowledge that people either turn to speak against those issues or get removed for being part of the system that exploits innocent and defenseless.

  7. His vocals sound good on the new album. Really no difference from Dystopia to me. Saw them live in May 22 and he sounded great then too. It's just better to listen though than to watch his face lol. I think the cervical fusion is where the pained look comes from because he can't really look up much anymore and his neck motion is so limited.
