| [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 |
