Under the gaze of the angels
A spectacle like he's never seen
Spinning lights and faces

Demon music and gypsy queens

The glint of iron wheels

Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance


How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere

Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers


A face of naked evil
Turns the young boy's blood to ice

The deadly confrontation
Such a dangerous device


The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel

A wheel of fate, a game of chance

Shout to warn the crowd

Accusations ringing loud
A ticking box, in the hand of the innocent
The angry crowd moves toward him with bad intent


How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere

Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers


The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance

The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
