Love Me Now or Love Me Later

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, where you and me lived in infinity

There were two of us, a God of love and a God of evil

Something about polarity - you know, day and night

Black and white, hot and cold, wrong and right, life and death

Polarity, without the opposite we could never be

Now this is all-knowing entity of good and evil

Decided that the place was awfully lonely

So they decided that they would create a world

Of insects and flowers and animals and birds and life untold

Worlds within a world of good things for the good

And evil things for the evil, and there was jealousy

[Verse 2]

Now comes man

Devil wanted to have all the control

But the Good Lord said

"We gonna have to share equally in this here human soul

But we will give man understanding and reason to decide

Whether to join a God of love and peace

Or burn in your eternal fire"

Lord, have mercy and stay with me

Good God said, "I really, I really want to

Love 'em and give 'em all the things that they desire

And bless 'em and love 'em so much and

I got to give 'em reason 'cause I want 'em to come back to me

When the power of evil is all gone"

[Verse 3]

Whoa, some souls are ready to rejoin the Lord of love (And no need to mourn)

Did you ever wonder why a little baby cry when he's born?

His soul isn't happy 'cause we got to give up all the sin

But we coming a-home my friend until the soul is ready to be Spirit again

Good Lord don't mind, when you're ready, He'll be ready

'Cause time don't mean a thing to these Lords

The Evil Lord don't mind if you're not ready

He wants you to bring your soul to him

It's a power struggle, my friend

A Buddhist monk can burn his body without a flinch

I think he's ready

[Verse 4]

The Evil Lord tempts a man with the things

Heart and the soul and the flesh

That you put on him and desire, to keep him from you:

"I don't think you shoulda did right, you give him too much power

I'll make him destroy all we created - weak and foolish, baby"

And the Good Lord said, "No, no, I know know know

Mankind can feel my love"

And the Evil Lord said

"No, no, no, no, no, no, I want 'em all

You shouldn't have gave him reason

You shouldn't have gave him reason"

'Cause we are the soul to the mind

And the mind to the brain and the brain to the body

Get what the soul desires

And Evil said

"I got what the soul desires for mankind's flesh

Having fun, and uh, I know what they like and

I'm gonna put it on 'em, baby

'Cause your body's really nothing now

But a safe for the soul"

[Outro]

And then the Good Lord says

"You can listen to me, I'm in your soul

Your decision is free

I gave you reason, and don't you wanna be with me, do right?"

Walk in the light, I love, baby
