The Reckoning
By Anemic-Heretic
A movie plays with a silent sigh
seasons change in a blink of an eye
I touch the sun with trembling hands
tossed away in a foreign land
Broken clocks bring a piece of mind
following but left far behind
I gather strength to wage this war
I don't think I can fight anymore
CHORUS
a gift that is life is a gift indeed
but it seems that my curse has gained the lead
this is my reckoning
reckoning
The battle and the scars unfold
the love the pain the tears bellow
I see the night change into day
I feel the loss of a childs play
chasing after the wind and the rain
wanting to escape all this pain
I gather strength to wage this war
I don't think I can fight anymore
CHORUS
a gift that is life is a gift indeed
but it seems that my curse has gained the lead
this is my reckoning
reckoning
I'm caught up in my distant past
I can't escape, I can't erase
scenes keep playing over and over
just like a broken projector
my eyes are closed a calloused heart
I'm the actor playing this part
I gather strength to wage this war
I don't think I can fight anymore
CHORUS
a gift that is life is a gift indeed
but it seems that my curse has gained the lead
this is my reckoning
reckoning
CHORUS
a gift that is life is a gift indeed
it seems that my curse has gained the lead again
I can not feel and I question why
it's not how I live it's how I die
I'm so tired of all this waiting
now is the time of my reckoning
Reckoning
