The Reckoning
Stolen from the crowd
Then thrown to the ground
Il-fated and torn
They're completely unknown
Gradually then suddenly
The storm grows into tragedy
While the skies keep darkening
They try to escape the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
And before our message arrives
Please make amends with what makes this not right
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Buried under-ground
Til the heart finds a home
Alarmed by the sound
Will the call ever come?
Unsettled until they make you pay
So bribe the guy who shows the way
No choice when you know what's closing in
And you can't avoid the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
And before our message arrives
Please make amends with what makes this not right
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Darling
Take a moment
Think it over
What's wrong and what's right
It's alarming
How we're frozen
Between rights of the innocent
And needs of unfortunate
While defending our principles
From within our comfort zone
Got the call before dawn
Heard a voice I didn't know
Held the words like a gun
Then started to run
Found the hideout started to dig
Unlocked the captives put my hands in
But before I could reach all of them
Someone escaped the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
(Put your hand on my heart)
And before our message arrives
(Take your hands off my heart)
Please make amends with what makes this not right
(Don't let it tear us apart)
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you too
Then thrown to the ground
Il-fated and torn
They're completely unknown
Gradually then suddenly
The storm grows into tragedy
While the skies keep darkening
They try to escape the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
And before our message arrives
Please make amends with what makes this not right
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Buried under-ground
Til the heart finds a home
Alarmed by the sound
Will the call ever come?
Unsettled until they make you pay
So bribe the guy who shows the way
No choice when you know what's closing in
And you can't avoid the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
And before our message arrives
Please make amends with what makes this not right
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Darling
Take a moment
Think it over
What's wrong and what's right
It's alarming
How we're frozen
Between rights of the innocent
And needs of unfortunate
While defending our principles
From within our comfort zone
Got the call before dawn
Heard a voice I didn't know
Held the words like a gun
Then started to run
Found the hideout started to dig
Unlocked the captives put my hands in
But before I could reach all of them
Someone escaped the reckoning
Beyond the passage of time
(Put your hand on my heart)
And before our message arrives
(Take your hands off my heart)
Please make amends with what makes this not right
(Don't let it tear us apart)
Before the fire spreads and tears it all down
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them get to you too
