The great Mandala

Peter, Paul and Mary

Transposer:

So I told him that He'd better shut his mouth and do his job like a man And he answered "listen father I will never kill another. He thinks he's better than his brother that died. What the hell does he think he is doing to his father who brought him up right? Take your place on the Great Mandala As it moves through the brief moment of time Win or lose now you must choose now If you lose you're only losing your life If you lose you're only losing your life If you lose you're only losing your life Tell the jailer not to bother with his meal of bread and water today. He is fasting 'til the killing's over. He's a martyr He thinks he's a prophet But he's a coward he's just playing a game. He can't do it he can't change it It's been going on for ten thousand years Take your place on the Great Mandala As it moves through the brief moment of time Win or lose now you must choose now If you lose you're only losing your life If you lose you're only losing your life If you lose you're only losing your life Tell the people they are safe now. Hunger stopped him he lies still in his cell. Death has gagged his accusations. We are free now We can kill now We can hate now Now we can end the world. We're not guilty He was crazy And it's been going on for ten thousand years. Take your place on the Great Mandala As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now you must choose now And if you lose you've only wasted your life.

La chanson aborde la lutte intérieure et les dilemmes moraux auxquels nous sommes confrontés face à la violence et aux conflits. Elle évoque un dialogue où l'on remet en question le sens de la vie, le sacrifice, et le poids des choix que nous faisons. Le protagoniste hésite entre la colère et la paix, soulignant le cycle incessant de la haine qui perdure à travers les âges. Le contexte semble refléter des tensions historiques et spirituelles, mettant en lumière un combat universel contre les injustices et les cruautés humaines. À travers l’image du "Grand Mandala", la chanson rappelle que chaque individu a un rôle et des décisions à prendre, et que la vie est un passage éphémère où chaque action compte, qu'elle soit positive ou négative. Les thèmes de la responsabilité et de l'érosion morale se dessinent clairement, posant la question : jusqu'où sommes-nous prêts à aller dans nos choix ?
