RECKONING

RECKONING

I can’t understand how one gets to be like you
The lies and deceit you harbor
The whores and the lonely you bed with
The trials and tribulations you pretend to be burdened with

I’m your nightmare
Your rude awakening
The judge, jury and executioner that’s here to right your wrongs

I can’t believe you thought you’d get away with this
The games and pawns you played
The fakes and the jokes you clamor with
The death and destruction you say you didn’t cause

I’m your reckoning
Your burning revenge
The fire, truth and blood that’s here to reign down on you

I’ll never make sense of how you sleep at night
The cold heart and barren soul inside
The vile and untrue you seek
The mind over matter you never grasped
