The Reckoning

As cold as stone, they march in darkness Enslaving the young and killing their fathers But soon they'll know the path they've chosen Has carved their fate in stone In blood and tears, a thousand times We rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear No fear, you wanna end the pain Don't let go, don't back down Hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning In blood and tears, a thousand times We rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning We're all alone, walking in twilight The night has been long and so many have fallen Feel no remorse, light will be breaking Our freedom is worth it all In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear No fear you wanna end the pain Don't let go, don't back down Hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning I see your face, find peace of mind Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning The end of war, the great divine We'll see the day Of reckoning In blood and tears, a thousand times We rise against, we'll always hold the line In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning We'll bring the reckoning In blood and tears, a thousand times We rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning --- The Reckoning - Within Temptation and Jacoby Shaddix
