The Breaking Wheel

By Maleficium · Death Metal

THE BREAKING WHEEL

[INTRO]

“Justice turns… and bones answer.”

[VERSE 1 – The Wheel]

[Verse I]

Circle of wood — bound with iron

Raised in the center of the square

Axle greased with blood and fear

A machine built for pain

Stretched across the frame

Limbs aligned with rigid spokes

No movement — no resistance

Only breath before the blows

[CHORUS]

THE BREAKING WHEEL

LAW IN MOTION

BONES SHATTERED

PUBLIC EXECUTION

THE BREAKING WHEEL

TURN — STRIKE — ROTATE

PAIN PROLONGED

DEATH CAN WAIT

[VERSE 2]

Iron rod descends with purpose

First bone snaps — order enforced

Legs crushed — arms follow

Systematic — no remorse

Strike by strike — limb by limb

Rotation seals the damage in

Not mercy — not chaos

Precision punishment begins

[CHORUS]

THE BREAKING WHEEL

LAW IN MOTION

BONES SHATTERED

PUBLIC EXECUTION

THE BREAKING WHEEL

TURN — STRIKE — ROTATE

PAIN PROLONGED

DEATH CAN WAIT

[BRIDGE]

Break the legs

Turn the wheel

Break the arms

Turn again

Crack the spine

Let him live

Pain is sentence

Death delayed

[VERSE 3]

Bones exposed — organs trembling

Breath crushed beneath shattered ribs

Kept alive by measured violence

Broken limbs bent into the wheel

Confessions hammered from the bone

Truth is nothing — confession is law

Every turn — the wounds reopen

Not execution — a public lesson

[CHORUS]

THE BREAKING WHEEL

LAW IN MOTION

BONES SHATTERED

PUBLIC EXECUTION

THE BREAKING WHEEL

TURN — STRIKE — ROTATE

PAIN PROLONGED

DEATH CAN WAIT

[Breakdown]

Some left bound upon the wheel

To rot beneath the open sky

Days of thirst and insect swarms

Helplessly begging to die..

Sun burns

Rain falls

Night freezes

Flesh splits

Still alive

Still displayed

Death arrives

When it decides

[SOLO SECTION]

[FINAL CHORUS]

THE BREAKING WHEEL

THE BONEBREAKER

THE BREAKING WHEEL

ENGINE OF PAIN

THE BREAKING WHEEL

SLOW DEATH

TURNING JUSTICE

UNTIL LAST BREATH
