So I told him, that he better shut his mouth And do his job like a man, And he answered, listen father, I will never kill another, Thinks hes better than his brother who died What the hell does he think hes doing, To his father who brought him up right [Chorus] Take a place on, the great mandala As it moves through your brief moment in time, We'll lose now, you must choose now And if you lose your only losing your life Tell the jailer not to bother, with his meal Of bread and water today He is fasting, till the killings over He's a modern, thinks he's a prophet But he's a coward, he's just playing the game He cant do it, he cant change it And its been going on for ten thousand years [Chorus] Whats that rumbling, in the court yard Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate Whats that? their saying, "kill the trader" Kill the trader, Kill the trader, kill the trader [Chorus] Tell the people they are safe now, Are guns stopped him, now he lies still in his cell That has gagged all his accusations, We are free now, you can kill now You can hate now, now we can end the world We're not guilty he was crazy And its been going on for ten thousand years [Chorus] [Repeats till fade] And if you lose your only losing your life
