Bad Karma

(youtube)

 

Every evil deed, since the world began,        
Was done by a human being,
Just like you and me brother,                                               Just like you and me sister.

And if you believe, like I believe,                                           That we have walked this earth before,
Then you might know how deep is the wound,
You might wonder what is the score.

Bad karma, tortuous maze winding through your head.
Bad karma, you can escape the spider but not the web.

Were you there when Ghengis Khan’ed?
Some are still held on remand.
Did you witness Hitler fail?
Some were tried, are now in jail, and some are only out on bail.

Did you see Alexander Greating,
Christian empires confiscating, populations decimating?
If you only knew, you might repent
Do you dare to call yourself innocent?

A million rapes, untold slaughter, looting, murder, war, and torture.
Bad karma, nightmare maze winding through your head.
Bad karma, you can escape while living, but not when dead.
