[Bb] [Gm] Once upon a [C] time, when you and [Bb] me lived [E] in infinity,
[Bb]
[C] there were [Bb] two of us, a god of [C] love and a [Bb] god of [Gm] evil,
something about polarity.
[C]
You know, day and [Bb] night, black and white, hot and cold,
[C] wrong and right, [Bb] life and death, polarity,
without the opposite, we could never do.
Now this all-knowing [D] entity [C] [Bb] of good and evil
decided [C] that the [Gm] place was awful lonely,
so they decided that [C] they would create a world
of [Bb] insects and flowers and animals [Gm] and bears and [C] life untold.
[Bb] Worlds within a world of good [C] things for the good
and [Bb] evil things for the [Gm] evil.
And there was jealousy.
Who [Bm] wants [Em]
man?
The devil wanted to have all the control.
[Bm] [A] But the good lord said,
we're gonna have to share equally
in this year, human soul.
But we [D] will give man understanding
and we will decide
whether to join a god of love and peace
or burn in your eternal fire.
[Ebm] [Gm] Lord have mercy and stay with [Bb] me.
God said I [E] really, I really [Cm] want.
[Bb] Love them, give them all the things that they desire.
[Gm] Bless [C] them, love them so much.
[Bb] I got to give them reason,
I [Gm] want them to come back to me.
[Dm] When the power of evil [Gm] is all gone.
[E]
Oh, [Am] [Bb] some [E] souls are [Bb] ready
to rejoin [C] the lord of love.
And won't need to [Bb] mourn.
Did you ever [E] wonder why
a [C] little baby cry when it's born?
[E] So [Am] is it happy
because [E] we got to give up all [C] the sin.
[Gm] But we come in a hurry my friend
until the soul is ready to [C] be spirit again.
Good lord [Bb] don't mind
when [Gm] you're [C] ready, he'll be ready.
[Gm] Cause time don't mean a thing
to these [C] lords, [Bb] the evil [C] lord.
[Bb] Don't mind [Gm] if you're not ready.
[E] He wants you to bring your [C] soul to him.
[Bb] It's a power struggle my friend.
[Gm] A Buddhist [C] monk can burn his [Bb] body
without a flinch.
I think he's ready.
[C] The evil [Gm] lord don't demand a [Bb] thing.
A heart and a soul and a flesh
to put all them [C] desires in.
Keep them from you.
[Gm] I don't think he should have did right
to give them too much [Cm] power.
I'll make them destroy [Gm] all we created.
We've been foolish baby.
And the [C] good lord [G] said no, no.
[Em]
[Bm] Mankind can't feel my love.
And [Em] the evil [A] lord said no, no, no, no, no, no.
I want them all.
You shouldn't have gave them reason.
You shouldn't have gave them reason.
Cause [D] we are the soul to the mind
and the mind to the brain
and the brain to the body.
That's what the soul desire.
And evil [C] said I [Gm] got what the soul [Bb] desire.
For mankind's flesh.
[E] I'm having [Bb] fun.
Give me my love [C] right now.
[Gm]
[C] I am the [Gm] love.
What they love.
And I'm gonna put it [C] on them baby.
Cause [Gm] your body's really nothing now.
But I'll sing for the soul.
And then the good lord said
he can listen to me.
I'm in your soul.
[Bb] Your decision is free.
[Gm] I [Cm] gave you reason.
[Gm] Don't you wanna be with me?
And I [C] walk in the light.
[Bb] I love baby.
