The Reckoning

There's a hurricane coming
There's a darkness in the sky
There's a black crow on the wire
With the devil in his eye's

And there's no use trying to fight it
For there's no way you can win
It's as mighty as the ocean
It's as old as mortal sin

The banshee sings her song
A cry for every fallen soul
She'll mark the cards of everyman
For whom the bell will toll

Her hounds of fear will find you
Her deathly stare will blind you
Her spirit will remind you
Of all the wrong you've done

With eyes of ice and fire
She'll lead you to the mire
She'll make you wish to heaven
That you never were the one

You can lock the doors and shutters
And keep all you have inside
Change your name and change your number
But from her you'll never hide

You can burn a million bridges
Trying to erase your past
You can sail out to oblivion
in the bottom of a glass

The banshee sings her song
A cry for every fallen soul
She'll mark the cards of everyman
For whom the bell will toll

Her hounds of fear will find you
Her deathly stare will blind you
Her spirit will remind you
Of all the wrong you've done

Her hounds of fear will find you
Her deathly stare will blind you
Her spirit will remind you
Of all the wrong you've done
