about

The circle is an ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. To earth-centered religions throughout history as well as to many contemporary pagans, it represents the feminine spirit or force, the cosmos or a spiritualized Mother Earth, and a sacred space.

lyrics

Not sure if there’s a heaven when I die,
But when I get there, I’ll know, that’s why,
Promise to treat your fellow man right,
Resist the common urge to fight.
Cause for all we know, this is all we’ve got,
Only a year since I was found caught,
Lying, sneaking, doing things that I’m not.
But we’ve all grown older, and less corrupt,
The world’s colder and about to erupt.

Whether for Mohammad, Buddha or Jesus Christ,
Or even if you’re still an atheist,
Let your actions speak for you,
Treat others right, je vous verrai adieu.

With so little time on this earth,
Why do we kill over virgin birth?
The secret of life is those all around,
No matter if we’re heaven or hell bound.
Divided by preachers into sects,
Until everyone learns and then defects.
Divided as none, we run towards the sun,
Leaving some behind at mercy of a gun.
Yet we continue on ahead,
Despite the pain of those who are not dead.

Whether for Mohammad, Buddha or Jesus Christ,
Or even if you’re still an atheist,
Let your actions speak for you,
Treat others right, je vous verrai adieu.

How many more must die?
Before we hear their cry
Human beings with no more rights,
Every day and every night,
Living hungry, tired, and afraid,
Yet we send no more aid.
Government brutality towards
Women, children and men
Everlasting fatality,
But nothing’s done to save them.

I’ve been thinking about this many a dark hour,
As we sit here, safe in our stark cower,
But for yourself, you’ll have to decide,
Could we have stopped the deaths of those who have died?
