In the wheels of fire In the dire of health In the rounding up of wealth Our time has passed once again Our wandering minds will find life Among the disabled who fight atrocity I have been selling tickets to the city circus Where the vibrant walkers balance in the house of pain Flounder on life and choose between Heaven and hell In the end All that counts is our ghosts I need you to hear me speak to the world Ushering in the new future Will you help us beat the speculation and grotesque An accordion plays in spiritual houses Where do the cars go in protest I shall not say or ask state Because the wheels of fire Burn and spin round and round Charting the tarmac and leaving acid streets If the Goddess of my dreams Walks in moonlight When the shining sun comes on boulevard of dreams Burning up the wheels of fire In the house of fire I fear death by water And Zeus' anger Then they rounded up the witches In this vast plague Where truth is for dead people Who bury their lives in their soul And hold life in their eyes Like candles in the graveyard Condemn them condemn them all To the hangman on the street hunting them all Who promises summer for the rich And winter for the poor Have you seen the end of disease Or your life leave your legs Or your love break your spirit And **** it with a new face If you left the ghosts of your past Like candles in a graveyard These fires summon spirits Such are the wheels of fire and fortune Death beats us all in a game of faith and chess Why do I have faith when everyone speculates about loss Because I hope to find a peaceful end instead of healthy victory
