Burning Wheels Turning - Uli Jon Roth

There was turning and yearning

transition to crime

And slaughter and dancing

and cheating in rhyme.

In the lanes there were standing

A few of the Blessed

And the flames in their right hands

Shone bright through the mess.

And their message was strong

As their teaching was love

But the mass did them wrong

And they mockers the dove.

And wisdom was misting in white and soft

blue…

See burning wheels burning and he’ll burn

in you, too.

And the ages werepassing

Then Mars took the rule

Pouring gem rains of ruby

As a war bait for fools.

And gazing in concern

At the fight on these planes

Other planets came closer

to take over the reins.

Deluge was their weapon —

Skies drowned in the sand —

Changing land into water

And water to land.

And wisdom was smiling in white and soft

blue…

See fiery wheels turning and He’ll burn in

you, too.

And a crowd of crusaders

Outliving the night

Stared shocked at the silence

Of the white blinding light!

And the bloodstained remains

Of the great anti-christ

Were shattered by archangels —

those whom he despised.

And dissolved was his spirit

Soaked up by the Sun

And a new age was dawning

Thus all had begun…

And wisdom, was smiling eternal soft blue…

Sec fiery wheels turning and He’ll burn in

you, too.
