Lord Have Mercy On My Soul

Lyrics

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
