Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you about | |
at this particular moment, and that's about the one | |
thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we | |
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then | |
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru | |
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked | |
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this | |
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into | |
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it | |
might have been hallucination, but I think it was | |
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies; | |
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil, | |
however you want it. And they were pullin' and | |
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I | |
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come | |
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved | |
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to | |
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain, | |
the devil, he got my body for the good in his needs | |
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind | |
for the good of the universe and for the good of man. | |
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got | |
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord | |
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul | |
I've walked through the Halls of Karma | |
I shook hands with both the Devil and God | |
They turned my eyes to the inside to see | |
Where my energies have gone | |
Yes I've run with both all through my life | |
I've respected and reflected them both | |
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked | |
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked | |
So Lord have mercy | |
Lord have mercy on my soul | |
The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll | |
Scratch your back for sure" | |
So you have done all these sins for him | |
My heart could not be pure | |
I found out what means more to me | |
Than anything on this earth | |
To be ready for my judgement day | |
Ready to face the truth | |
So Lord have mercy | |
Lord have mercy on my soul | |
I hope I've done the right things | |
For both your sake and mine | |
I preach in what I live for | |
My only fear is fear of time | |
I wanted to look logical | |
to both my "Maker" and his host | |
But this trip of life must be complete | |
or my cards will be lost. | |
So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul |
