3ringsleft - Wheel of Chaos Lyrics

Picture a horse
Now take away its legs and
Give it a dream
A dream to win a race and
Give it a need
To prove itself to everyone else
Then take away its hope but
Leave the need still there
They say
"Know your place
Don't look 'em in the eye and
Stay out of sight
Don't speak unless invited
You know by now
You are not welcome
Spare yourself and
Try to make the best of the
Gutter we call our lives"

Listen, child
A great destiny awaits thee
Brace yourself
This is history in the making
You were born
To write and sing and sit with kings
But maybe there are higher things than these

I am homesick for a life unknown
The devil in my head won't leave me alone
And the wheel of chaos has a mind
Of its own
But so do I

Freewill dies
When your life has been mapped out and
Everyone says
That the future's set in stone and
I could cry
And run the risk of looking weak
But everyone I love would still be
Counting on me and
They say a bird
Culd love a fish, but where would
They build a home?
Well, I say on the shore and
With friends like these
Then who really needs enemies?
'Til you confess your sins, no, I
Will not forgive you
Will not forget, no

Listen, child
A great destiny awaits thee
Brace yourself
This is history in the making
You were born
To write and sing and sit with kings
But maybe there are higher things than these

I am homesick for a life unknown
The devil in my head won't leave me alone
And the wheel of chaos has a mind
Of its own
But so do I

All this chaos in my mind and I
Burn up and burn out at the same time
Our future's hanging by a thread and I
Cannot see you, it kills me inside
Time is passing by without me
Walls are closing in around me
I'm tryin' to be myself
I'm tryin' to escape this hell
Turn the spinning wheel into a helm

I am homesick for a life unknown
The devil in my head won't leave me alone
And the wheel of chaos has a mind
Of its own
But so do I

Listen well
A great destiny awaits me
Brace yourself
This is history in the making
I was born
To write and sing and sit with kings
But I've learnt there are higher things than these
