The Reckoning Lyrics by Pillar

The Reckoning

2006

[Intro]
Ride

[Verse 1]
I'm an outlaw taking chances
When there's nothing left to gain
I get caught seeking answers
That'll only cause me pain
Can't let my eyes get branded
So I can find my way
I'll ride like a runaway bandit
'Cause I found that I'm to blame

[Chorus]
Time keeps changing
But the story's the same
Why do we all keep looking
For somebody to blame
The score needs settled
But this isn't a game
So win lose or die we ride
This is the reckoning

[Verse 2]
I'm a renegade livin' the edge and
You're the one who lives afraid
I keep on turning the pages
You keep on running away
I'm a young gun shootin' to payback
Here comes the ricochet
I see wanted dead or alive
On the page I see my face

[Chorus]
Time keeps changing
But the story's the same
Why do we all keep looking
For somebody to blame
The score needs settled
But this isn't a game
So win lose or die we ride
This is the reckoning

[Bridge]
What good is the cure without the disease
What good is the cure without the disease

[Chorus]
Time keeps changing
But the story's the same
Why do we all keep looking
For somebody to blame
The score needs settled
But this isn't a game
So win lose or die we ride
This is the reckoning
