The Reckoning 歌词

Turn your face towards a brighter day Where the skies are blue, the air is clear And children can come out to play You’re leaving it all behind - the poverty, brutality But there’s no hope here, no home to find Welcome is a fantasy for desperate and frightened souls Ignorance, our faithful shield Their cries unheard as thunder rolls They’re dreaming of life of the free – of liberty, equality To change a word in infancy They rise above us while we fall Deeper into the sin within Disciples of unholy war We fight for nothing just to win Yet their pain pervades our skin We can’t deny the dark side of success Of wealth and fame, the rich man’s game Oppression, our great hidden shame Yet higher and higher they stand Stronger now are their demands To settle the score, end this silent war Illuminate your senses Surrender your defences Prepare to face the consequences No time for our pretences Recognise our own offences Wake up, the moment commences They’re victims of humanity We’ve bathed in the river of their tears Yet now it’s time to meet their fears The greatest silence has come to an end They rise above us while we fall Deeper into the sin within Disciples of unholy war We fight for nothing just to win Yet their pain pervades our skin They rise above us while we fall Deeper into the sin within Disciples of unholy war We fight for nothing just to win Yet their pain pervades our skin
