And it's been going on for ten thousand years
What's that they are saying? Kill the traitor
Win or lose now, you must choose now
With his meal of bread and water today
Take your place on the Great Mandala
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your life
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only wasting your life
Win or lose now, we must choose now
Father, I will never kill another"
And he answered, "Listen
We're not guilty, he was crazy
Take your place on the Great Mandala
Than his brother who died
He is fasting 'til the killing's over
He can't do it, he can't change it
If you lose you're only wasting your life
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate
Hunger stopped him, now he lies still in his cell
We can hate now, now we can end the world
If you lose you're only wasting your life
Tell the people they are safe now
As it moves through your brief moment of time
If you lose you're only wasting your life
What the hell does he think he's doing
Tell the jailer not to bother
Thinks he's better
To his father who brought him up right?
What's that rumbling in the courtyard?
As it moves through your brief moment of time
He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet
Take your place on the Great Mandala
But he's a coward, he's just playing a game
We are free now, we can kill now
Death has gagged all his accusations
And if you lose you're only losing your life
As it moves through your brief moment in time
Take your place on the Great Mandala
And if you lose you're only losing your life
Kill the traitor, kill the traitor, kill the traitor
And it's been going on for ten thousand years
