The Wheel In The Sky (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: The Opaque Brotherhood - 2008)

Don't fuck my time up, we only got so much
Like a wheel in the sky that you can't touch
It stays on pace, some let it waste
You can tell a man's time looking at his face
It's like a game to the wheel, some kind of sport
We all try to [?] that wanna cut our time short
Some have more than others, but we all brothers
All watching the wheel spin above us

Cracked in half like Siamese twins
I was left for dead, but the wheel still spins
Resurrected like ghosts when lights dim
Inhibit another body and let it all begin again
It'd be nice if I could rewind real life
And live it from the beginning, but the wheel keeps spinning
And I'm not all right, I need a reason for living
[?] unless I die tonight

The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(And it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(Continue, no fast forward, no rewind)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(Continue, and it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)

The wheel in the sky is well-greased and moving fast
At lightning speeds and it sho'nuff washed my ass
So don't ask me for shit, not even some spit
If you on fire, I got my own agenda, you hit
Too many tasks to fill and not enough time
Especially with all these snitches constantly dropping the time
Life's moving by quicker than the blink of an eye
When it's your turn to die, there's no time to cry, say goodbye

The wheel in the sky, something like a timeline
That never stops rolling, no showing signs of slowing
It keeps going like the Energizer Rabbit
Moments of your life passed by, couldn't track it
Of the Earth's time
Blood-soaked sheets at the scene of the crime
The thrill of the kill is the feel that you crave
But it's gone, moves on, the wheel spins another day away

The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(And it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(Continue, no fast forward, no rewind)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(Continue, and it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)

The wheel in the sky, it keeps on turning
Revolving around and around all of us
The wheel got a flat and the sky started burning
But all of the tears couldn't put it out
I cried for you (I cried for you)
I tried to stop its spinning (For you)
I died for you (I died for you)
To run a race that no one's winning

The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(And it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(We continue, no fast forward, no rewind)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
(We continue, and it's unforgiving)
The wheel in the sky, the wheel in the sky
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
