Iced Earth - The Reckoning lyrics

(Schaffer)

(Chorus)

Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, don't tread on me

Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me

You went too far this time, for this heinous crime

You will know defeat, begging on your knees

One by one you'll fall, your back against the wall

Nowhere to turn, your sure to burn

(Chorus)

Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, don't tread on me

The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand

Justice shall be done, nowhere to run

True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool

The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies

(Chorus)

Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me

Born of destruction, bred in agony

Is this my salvation?

From these ashes of your devastation

If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say

With a hammer we will take, Lady Justice is asleep

The Judgement has been made, in blood it shall be paid

Death knows what to do, the horseman comes for you.

(Chorus)

Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, don't tread on me

Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning

This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me
