Lord Have Mercy On My Soul (2006 Remastered Version)

歌詞

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
