THE WHEEL SELLS SALVATION

V6-MINI

[Intro — low drone, distant dungchen, metallic wheel turning] [Female Lead Vocal, whispered] Step right in… [Male Baritone, smooth] Salvation is on sale today. [Verse 1] [Female Lead Vocal] I bought my peace on a monthly plan [Female Lead Vocal] Three deep breaths and a better life [Male Baritone] Your pain is covered, as best we can [Male Baritone] Old fears accepted at half the price [Female Lead Vocal] A smiling master glows on a screen [Female Lead Vocal] He sells the void in a golden frame [Male Baritone] Eternity comes clean and pristine [Male Baritone] But refunds don’t apply to shame [Pre-Chorus] [Female Lead Vocal] I want to step outside this wheel [Male Baritone] We have a special way to go [Female Lead Vocal] Then why’s it turning in my dreams? [Male Baritone] Your plan renewed an hour ago [Chorus] [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, wheel of salvation [Male Baritone] Pay up front, no explanation [Female Lead Vocal] Burn, burn, my last desire [Male Baritone] True awakening costs extra [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, wheel of light [Male Baritone] Peace is pricey, fear is free [Female Lead Vocal] I came to lose myself tonight [Male Baritone] You did — now buy eternity [Instrumental Break — dungchen swells like a sacred call; beat mutates into a distorted advertising rhythm] [Verse 2] [Female Lead Vocal] The soul-cleaning shop is open late [Female Lead Vocal] Saints wear badges, saints have tiers [Male Baritone] Choose your miracle, customize fate [Male Baritone] Pick the package that best fits your fears [Female Lead Vocal] I chose the “No-Self” deluxe edition [Female Lead Vocal] With a certificate, signed and sealed [Male Baritone] The void arrives by home delivery [Male Baritone] Keep the box; your warranty’s concealed [Pre-Chorus] [Female Lead Vocal] I want to step outside this wheel [Male Baritone] Your request is being reviewed [Female Lead Vocal] Who profits from the wounds I feel? [Male Baritone] Our sacred service, gratitude included [Chorus] [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, wheel of salvation [Male Baritone] Pay up front, no explanation [Female Lead Vocal] Burn, burn, my last desire [Male Baritone] True awakening costs extra [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, wheel of light [Male Baritone] Peace is pricey, fear is free [Female Lead Vocal] I came to lose myself tonight [Male Baritone] You did — now buy eternity [Bridge — beat stops; dungchen alone, solemn and almost human] [Female Lead Vocal, quietly] What if the master knows no more? [Male Baritone, losing his smile] What if the buyer wants no cure? [Female Lead Vocal] What if the wheel turns round an empty core? [Male Baritone] Who’d keep the shop open then? [Industrial Build — metallic hits, distorted bass, dungchen becomes a sinister recurring motif] [Female Lead Vocal] I tear the price tag from my soul [Male Baritone] The number’s printed underneath [Female Lead Vocal] I kill the lights, I close the show [Male Baritone] The salesman waits behind your teeth [Final Chorus — heavier, darker, near-chaotic] [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, wheel of salvation [Male Baritone] No more contracts, no more patience [Female Lead Vocal] Burn, burn, my last desire [Male Baritone] Who’s left when everything is sold? [Female Lead Vocal] Turn, turn, without a buyer [Male Baritone] Silence is our finest product [Female Lead Vocal] I came to leave behind my fear [Male Baritone, cold whisper] Thank you. Your fear renews tonight. [Outro — dungchen fades; wheel continues turning alone] [Female Lead Vocal, whisper] Cancel my plan… [Male Baritone, whisper] That option is unavailable.
