The Great Mandala-David Roth

[00:07.97]So I told him that he'd better shut his mouth [00:18.93]Do his job like a man. [00:23.08]And he answered "Listen, Father, [00:30.30]I will never kill another." [00:37.85]He thinks he's better [00:41.55]than his brother that died [00:45.90]What the hell does he think he's doing [00:52.88]To his father who brought him up right? [01:00.07]Take your place on The Great Mandala [01:07.73]As it moves through your brief moment of time. [01:15.03]Win or lose now you must choose now [01:22.84]And if you lose you're only losing your life. [01:37.74]Tell the jailer not to bother [01:45.02]With his meal of bread and water today. [01:52.64]He is fasting 'til the killing's over [01:59.79]He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet. [02:07.22]But he's a coward, he's just playing a game [02:14.81]He can't do it, he can't change it [02:22.24]It's been going on for ten thousand years [02:29.46]Take your place on The Great Mandala [02:36.83]As it moves through your brief moment of time. [02:44.04]Win or lose now you must choose now [02:51.68]And if you lose you're only losing your life. [03:06.40]Tell the people they are safe now [03:13.72]Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell. [03:22.52]Death has gagged his accusations [03:28.02]We are free now, we can kill now, [03:35.30]We can hate now, now we can end the world [03:42.59]We're not guilty, he was crazy [03:49.92]And it's been going on for ten thousand years! [03:56.99]Take your place on The Great Mandala [04:04.07]As it moves through your brief moment of time. [04:11.35]Win or lose now you must choose now [04:18.85]And if you lose you've only wasted your life. [04:34.94]
