The Reckoning
Who stole the stars from your sky?
Who rolled up the sun and forbid it to rise?
Who folded day into night
With a darkness so real it disguises as light?
And who grafted scars on the hearts of your sons
And handed your daughters a sorrow of songs?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
Who drained the sea from your eyes?
And shipwrecked your life and then silenced your cries?
Who bought the rights to your soul
With a ransom of fear and the lies of control?
And who robbed your fathers of honour and pride
And cheated your mothers of dreams locked inside?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
And who robbed your fathers of honour and pride
And cheated your mothers of dreams locked inside?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
Who rolled up the sun and forbid it to rise?
Who folded day into night
With a darkness so real it disguises as light?
And who grafted scars on the hearts of your sons
And handed your daughters a sorrow of songs?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
Who drained the sea from your eyes?
And shipwrecked your life and then silenced your cries?
Who bought the rights to your soul
With a ransom of fear and the lies of control?
And who robbed your fathers of honour and pride
And cheated your mothers of dreams locked inside?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
And who robbed your fathers of honour and pride
And cheated your mothers of dreams locked inside?
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
O-o-oh
Oh there must be a reckoning
