LYRICS FOR “THE WHEEL OF LIFE”

[Verse 1]
The planet is circular but I’m standing at the edge of it
Communing with Elementals asking where the exit is
Tired of playing this game riches have lost their relevance
And fame became dated the day Trump became president
I’ve started questioning deeper Like “tell me where my essence is?”
I mean the one that was ejected from the realm where heaven is
And planted in the third dimension to acquire cleverness
For true intelligence experienced organic embeddedness
Subjective in nature so that’s really in the present tense
The past is a memory the future is decadence
And fantasy so what to do now to escape the tragedy
Annihilate the Pharisees’ and Sadducees’ pestilence
And what remains is best to keep as evidence
Of the start of your heroic journey and your salvations genesis
The path is narrow and treacherous like rocky crevices
So look the other way when false prophets say its effortless

[Chorus]
I just wanna know…
If I’m a character in a game and if that’s case whose really in control
I just wanna know…
What’s gonna happen when I die and what’s the destination of my soul
I just wanna know…
Why I’m alive and why the allure of good life doesn’t appeal
I just wanna know…
How to balance cause and effect so I get stepping of this wheel

I mean really you know, the stakes are high in this game
You live, you die and then you go somewhere else beyond this world
Here’s a true story from my own life

[Verse 2]
At 15 I swallowed a full paper of acid
Plus two ecstasies then waited for the magic
What happened next was tragic
Instead of bliss I was plunged into psychological lake placid
I saw eerie eyes glowing in pitch blackness
Freaked out I wondered what the hell I had imagined
But it was not imagination it was really happening
I was seeing the truth of my sub-consciousness’s havoc
Met many dark entities who had their home inside of me
And yet I was Christian kid; imagine the irony
I called out for help I needed intervention vitally
But I was stuck in the tyranny of the dark dynasty
Evil beings taunted which intensified anxiety
Sinister spirits claimed me as a slave of their hierarchy
And from this I knew that hell is sad a reality
The stakes are high enough to wake up the Son of Man in me

[Chorus]
I just wanna know…
If I’m a character in a game and if that’s case whose really in control
I just wanna know…
What’s gonna happen when I die and what’s the destination of my soul
I just wanna know…
Why I’m alive and why the allure of good life doesn’t appeal
I just wanna know…
How to balance cause and effect so I get stepping of this wheel
