lyrics

Dropping, smashing, breaking
Lift the wheel, drop the wheel, break the bone against the stone
One more time
Shards of bone break the skin, the skin is thin against the shin

The breaking wheel
Painful slow death
The throbbing pain
Three days to die, nailed to the wheel

The breaking wheel
Labored slow breath
Thirsting parched throat
Crow perched on your chest, plucks out your eyes

Blackened, fractured, splintered
Place the arm between the spokes, snapped in two, turning blue
Bludgeoning
Femurs cracks, tendons snap, elastic crack

The breaking wheel
Painful slow death
The throbbing pain
Three days to die, nailed to the wheel

The breaking wheel
Labored slow breath
Thirsting parched throat
Crow perched on your chest, plucks out your eyes
