So I told him that heâd better shut his mouth
And do his job like a man
And he answered Listen,
father
I
will
never
kill
another
He thinks heâs better than his brother that died
What the hell does he think heâs doing
To his father who brought him up right?
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 youâre only losing your life
Tell the jailer not to bother
With his meal of bread and water today
He is fasting âtil the killingâs over
Heâs a martyr, he thinks heâs a prophet
But heâs a coward, heâs just playing a game
He canât do it, he canât change it
Itâs been going on for ten thousand years
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 youâre only losing your life
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
Weâre not guilty, he was crazy
And itâs been going on for ten thousand years
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 youâve only wasted your life
