I asked Jerry Richards this very thing, he said its not based
on a book. However, it does contain a loose theme about
humankind being enslaved to its technology. He likened the
civilization we've created as being as machine out of control.
Below are the lyrics to The Wheel, which is indicative of
the perspective conveyed on the new album:
The Wheel
Ship of steel, container of oil,
in this world of the wheel, in this world of oil.
Our watches declare we must move on,
a blackbird was heard, we were the death to his song.
With eyes of Apaches detecting the smoke
creepy cities is there no hope.
In this world of the wheel, in this world of oil.
sandwich of steel, ?farmers? of oil.
is there no hope in this world of the wheel.
(this world of oil)
