It may take me some time to get over the fact that we’re talking about Megadeth on the Corner, but I must chime in….The writer in your last post vastly underrates Megadeth’s 1990 release Rust in Peace, which may be just about the greatest thrash-metal album ever created (I’ll spare you with who the competition is). But the opening track off that album is a song called Holy Wars, thought maybe you’d like a sample of the lyrics: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
