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"

Thinks he's better

Than his brother who died

What the hell does he think he's doing

To his father who brought him up right?

Take your place on the Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment in time

Win or lose now, you must choose now

And if you lose you're only losing your life

Tell the jailer not to bother

With his meal of bread and water today

He is fasting 'til the killing's over

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

And it's 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 you're only losing your life

What's that rumbling in the courtyard?

Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate

What's that they are saying? Kill the traitor

Kill the traitor, kill the traitor, kill the traitor

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

Tell the people they are safe now

Hunger stopped him, now he lies still in his cell

Death has gagged all 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

Take your place on the Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment of time

Win or lose now, we must choose now

And if you lose you're only wasting your life

If you lose you're only wasting your life

If you lose you're only wasting your life

If you lose you're only wasting your life

If you lose you've only wasted your life
