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.
