[Verse 1] Under the gaze of the angels A spectacle like he's never seen Spinning lights and faces Demon music and gypsy queens [Chorus 1] The glint of iron wheels The bodies spin in a clockwork dance The smell of flint and steel A wheel of fate, a game of chance [Chorus 2] How I prayed just to get away To carry me anywhere Sometimes the angels punish us By answering our prayers By answering our prayers [Verse 2] A face of naked evil Turns the young boys blood to ice Deadly confrontation Such a dangerous device [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] Shout to warn the crowd Accusations ringing loud A ticking box, in the hand of the innocent The angry crowd moves toward him with bad intent [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1]
