Wheels of Terror Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We take no prisoners, there's no retreat
Our only purpose is your defeat
The wheels of death keep turning
Leave your cities burning
There's nothing you can do
To stop them breaking through

[Chorus]
Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

[Verse 2]
Blitzkrieg coming, this is the end
High explosive, your will we bend
Smashing your defenses down
Making rubble of your town
Moving on relentlessly
Only death will set you free

[Chorus]
Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Target in our sight, armor-piercing shell
There's no use running from the raining hell
Wheels of death keep turning
Leave your city burning
There's nothing you can do
To stop them breaking through

[Chorus]
Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war
Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

[Outro]
Fire!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
