lyrics

One grain of sand;
delicate balance.
Falls from your hand;
change too fast to challenge.

Rise of the weak man;
sadly two of one kind.
Shadows cross the land;
fall on most of one mind.

Blind,
making blind,
leading blind.
needing blind.

One grain of sand;
slipping through our fingers.
Cannot take a stand;
everybody's blinkered.

Blind,
making blind,
leading blind.
needing blind.

Nothing to say, bite your tongue,
just don't make things awkward.
Stop!
Stay your hand,
just keep quiet,
don't attract attention.
Too scared to say,
so afraid you'll be cast aside but,
there'll come a day,
it's too late, and now nothing matters.

Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.
Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.

Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.
Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.
Running away, quit running away.

SYNTH SOLO

Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.
Only do what they will say.
You only do what they will tell you.
Running away, quit running away.

One grain of sand;
slipping through our fingers.
Rise of the weak man;
everybody's blinkered.

Blind,
making blind,
leading blind,
needing blind.

Nothing to say, bite your tongue,
just don't make things awkward.
Stop!
Stay your hand,
just keep quiet,
don't attract attention.
Too scared to say,
so afraid you'll be cast aside but,
there'll come a day,
it's too late, and now nothing matters.

about

The Rebel Wheel image

The Rebel Wheel Ottawa, Ontario

Steeped in dark cinematic soundscapes and complex, turn-on-a-dime arrangements, The Rebel Wheel features a frenetic mix of rock aggression, complex compositions and unpredictable odd-meter vamps. Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup has gradually focused on a modern, more performance-oriented, genre-blending Prog. ... more
