Lyrics:

It’s a question of redemption
Without the answer I cannot quiet my mind
Do we resurrect a tyrant
Just to bring him down again?
Does the universe exist to teach us lessons about pain?

There’s a weight on your shoulder
That’s dragging you down
The boulder you’re pushing
The gold in your crown

The lashes of conscience
The pitch of the hill
It’s time for you to let it roll

Stuck in a Karma Loop
Round and around and up and down we go
Karma Loop
Leaving no trace behind

Stuck in a Karma Loop
Dancing the dance of regret over and over
Karma Loop
But don’t get left behind
Karma Loop

We are waltzing, screaming corpses
Just some pre-dead love machines
Playing out this silly masquerade
On this cursed plane

To resurrect a tyrant
As a victim of his hand
With no memories an insect
Cannot learn to be a man

It seems to me
That you wanna let yourself off the hook
You’ll never truly be free
When you’re stuck in a loop
But you can’t escape the hangman’s noose
You become what you choose

Stuck in a Karma Loop
Round and around and up and down we go
Karma Loop
Leaving no trace behind

Stuck in a Karma Loop
Dancing the dance of regret over and over
Karma Loop
Just don’t get left behind
Karma Loop

Coming to a crossroads
Time for you to pay the toll
How much for a man’s soul?
Everything you have to
Pay the piper to live for one more day
Nowhere to go
I just need one more nickel to
Buy the ticket and
Take the ride on the karma loop again

Stuck in a Karma Loop
Round and around and up and down we go
Karma Loop
Leaving no trace behind
Karma Loop
Chasing the end of an endless rainbow
Karma Loop
Hopelessly intertwined

Karma Loop
When does it end
I want off this rollercoaster
Karma Loop
Don’t get left behind on the Karma Loop
