[Verse 1] | |
So I told him that he'd better | |
Shut his mouth and do his job like a man | |
And he answered "Listen, Father | |
I will never kill another" | |
He thinks he's better | |
Than his brother that died | |
What the hell does he think he's doing | |
To his father who brought him up right? | |
[Chorus] | |
Take your place on The Great Mandala | |
As it moves through your brief moment of time | |
Win or lose now you must choose now | |
And if you lose you're only losing your life | |
[Verse 2] | |
Tell the jailer not to bother | |
With his meal of brеad and water today | |
He is fasting 'til the killing's ovеr | |
He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet | |
But he's a coward, he's just playing a game | |
He can't do it, he can't change it | |
It's been going on for ten thousand years | |
[Chorus] | |
Take your place on The Great Mandala (The Great Mandala) | |
As it moves through your brief moment of time | |
Win or lose now (Win or lose now) | |
You must choose now (You must choose now) | |
And if you lose you're only losing your life | |
[Verse 3] | |
What's the rumbling (What's the rumbling) | |
In the courtyard? (In the courtyard?) | |
Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate | |
What's that they're saying? | |
Kill the traitor | |
Kill the traitor (Kill the traitor) | |
Kill the traitor (Kill the traitor) | |
Kill the traitor, la la la la la la | |
La la la la la la la la la la | |
La la la la la la la la la la la | |
[Chorus] | |
Take your place on The Great Mandala | |
As it moves through your brief moment of time | |
Win or lose now (Win or lose now) | |
You must choose now (You must choose now) | |
And if you lose you're only losing your life | |
[Verse 4] | |
Tell the people they are safe now | |
Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell | |
Death has gagged his accusations | |
We are free now, we can kill now | |
We can hate now, now we can end the world | |
We're not guilty, he was crazy | |
And it's been going on for ten thousand years | |
[Chorus] | |
Take your place on The Great Mandala | |
As it moves through your brief moment of time | |
Win or lose now you must choose now | |
And if you lose you're only wasting your life | |
And if you lose you're only wasting your life |
