Broken Wheel
Riding the Broken Wheel: A Cosmic Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
Way out on the rim of the galaxy
Reflecting on the outer edges of the galaxy.
The gifts of the Lord lie torn
The divine gifts are damaged or divided.
Into whose charge the gifts were given
Questioning those entrusted with the gifts.
Have made it a curse for so many to be born
The gifts have turned into a burden for many.
This is my trouble
Expressing personal struggle or hardship.
These were my fathers
Referring to ancestors or predecessors.
So how am I supposed to feel?
Expressing uncertainty about emotions in this context.
Way out on the rim of the broken wheel
On the outer edge of a malfunctioning or incomplete system.
Water of life is going to flow again
Hope for renewal or rejuvenation.
Changed from the blood of heroes and knaves
Transformation of life-giving substance through sacrifice.
The word mercy's going to have a new meaning
Anticipation of a redefined concept of mercy.
When we are judged by the children of our slaves
Future judgment by the descendants of those oppressed.
No adult of sound mind
No mentally sound adult can claim innocence.
Can be an innocent bystander
Implicit involvement in the consequences of actions.
Trial comes before truth's revealed
Truth emerges through a process involving trials.
Out here on the rim of the broken wheel
Existing on the outskirts of a dysfunctional system.
You and me, we are the break in the broken wheel
Individuals as the point of fracture in a flawed system.
Bleeding wound that will not heal
A metaphorical wound that continues to cause pain.
Lord, spit on our eyes so we can see
Seeking divine guidance to comprehend the situation.
How to wake up from this tragedy
A plea for awakening from a tragic state.
Way out on the rim of the broken wheel
Reiteration of the broken system's outer boundary.
Bleeding wound that will not heal
The persisting and unhealed damage in the system.
Trial comes before truth's revealed
Reaffirmation of the process where truth follows trials.
So how am I supposed to feel?
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about emotions.
This is my trouble
Reiteration of personal struggles.
Can't be an innocent bystander
No mentally sound adult can claim innocence (repeated).
In a world of pain and fire and steel
Existence in a world marked by pain, fire, and steel.
Way out on the rim of the broken wheel
Reiteration of the outer edge of a malfunctioning system (repeated).
