Dragged from the hair
Onto the cartwheel
Limbs stretched wide
Spinning in suffering
Hammer crushing bones
Repeated several times
The blow of mercy not granted
The wheel will spin yet again
Cries of anguish and despair as
The iron is applied once more
Cudgeling the condemned till they reach the core
The shattered limbs then braided and the
Wheel hoisted as feed for birds
The nightmare never ceased
The wheel was never pleased
Oh Catherine of Alexandria, forever rest in peace!
The blow of mercy not granted
The wheel will spin yet again
Cries of anguish and despair as
The iron is applied once more
Cudgeling the condemned till they reach the core
The shattered limbs then braided and
The wheel hoisted as feed for the birds
A puppet with four tentacles
Raw, slimy and shapeless flesh mixed
With splinters of smashed bones
The nightmare never ceased
The wheel was never pleased
Oh Catherine of Alexandria, forever rest in peace!
