The Reckoning Lyrics by Nathan Gray

Rebel Songs

0

[Chorus]
"Oh the system might have got you, but it won't get me"
When the static turns to panic, the struggle hits the street
Do you drop down to your knees or do you rise up to your feet
Where will you be in the reckoning?

[Verse]
Yeah we've seen problems
But everything's gonna change
'Cause the same old answers
Ain't workin' anyway

So the streets are burning
To start a brand new day
A shock-shock-shock to the system
To end the clampdown games

[Chorus]
"Oh the system might have got you, but it won't get me"
When the static turns to panic, the struggle hits the street
Do you drop down to your knees or do you rise up to your feet
Where will you be in the reckoning?

[Verse]
True sounds of liberation
Rising up from despair
Got the fascists in a tantrum
We ain't goin' anywhere

So the streets are burning
To start a brand new day
A shock-shock-shock to the system
To end the clampdown games

[Chorus]
"Oh the system might have got you, but it won't get me"
When the static turns to panic, the struggle hits the street
Do you drop down to your knees or do you rise up to your feet
Where will you be in the reckoning?

[Bridge]
Here in the reckoning
Woah-oh-oh
Here in the reckoning
We must do more than survive, keep the fire alive
A brand new day, we've still got something to say
Here in the reckoning
(Here in the eckoning)

[Chorus]
"Oh the system might have got you, but it won't get me" (The reckoning!)
When the static turns to panic, the struggle hits the street (The reckoning!)
Do you drop down to your knees or do you rise up to your feet (reckoning!)
Where will you be in the reckoning?
(The reckoning)
