As the wheel turns

Time streches like a darkened shroud
encovering everything in its path
beware the consquence of action and thought
or you will face front to the great god's wrath
the ages pass and doom comes forth now
the centuries lead to encrusted tombs and
the sun dies as night comes to pass
with daylight and dawn wrapped in wombs and
The sun dies down
the moon rises high
another day gone
in time's painted sky
what did you do
when did you do it
and are you happy
as the wheel turns
through it
Action and reason move faster by the day
hour after hour, second after second, on and on
the end of it all comes like faster than you think it may
and what comes next is result of what you brought
at the time of your reckoning will you say no
to the charges against you or will you accept
we are the guilty, innocent, and framed all in one now
and the sentence for every man is death
The sun dies down
the moon rises high
another day gone
in time's painted sky
what did you do
when did you do it
and are you happy
as the wheel turns
through it
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
9 and 10, ll and 12
one more step and the hour of the dead comes
so what will you say to god and the devil?
Day after day
hour after hour
minute after minute
second after second
clock moving faster
hands moving closer
time is moving now
to the end
To the end
to the end
to the end
to the end
The sun dies down
the moon rises high
another day gone
in time's painted sky
what did you do
when did you do it
and are you happy
as the wheel turns
through it
The night comes abroad
the day goes by
another life passing
in the cycle of god's rhyme
what did you do
and what did you do with it
and are you happy
as the wheel turns
as the wheel turns
as the wheel turns
through it
