Mind of Man
Professor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Poisoned was his mind and shallow was his reasoning he was too young then

Behind these bars and walls and without food and water but one day his ship would sail

Something had to occupy the time of man, the time of man, oh the time of man

Something had to hypnotize the mind of man, the mind of man, oh the mind of man
The mind of man, the time of man

Remembering all those days and nights when he use to call out but no one was there

Only silence in the world and horror was the atmosphere dressing him in full on rage

Something had to occupy the time of man, the time of man, oh the time of man

Something had to take away the mind of man, the mind of man, oh the mind of man
the mind of man, the time of man

(Keys Synth Solo: Obeah)

So after years and years his mind hungers for revenge until he's finally a pone
in their game

Eelling him "once you give your life beyond there lies a world of endless fortune the land of milk and honey"

Something had to occupy the time of man, the time of man, oh the time of man





Something had to hypnotize the mind of man, the mind of man, oh the mind of man
the mind of man, the time of man (repeat out)
