Lyrics
The Reckoning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
