For Everyone A Reckoning.

I don’t know any more than you
if the sky will fall and crush us
or the seas rise up to take back what was theirs
Maybe we all get exactly 
what we think is coming
invite the devil we know right on up the stairs.

Oh, theire ain’t no runnin’
from the hell you make inside of your mind
if you think you’re damned, you are
if you think you’ll fly, you will
you’ll find exactly what you think you’re going to find
for everyone a reckoning.

You say they’re coming for us
with guns with rules with their religion
then they’re coming to take the guns, the rules, the religion all away
they’re saving us all, they’re killing us off
well choose your ammunition,
but can anybody tell me
who the hell are “they?”

Oh, there ain’t no runnin’
from the hell you make inside of your mind
if you think you’re damned, you are
if you think you’ll fly, you will
you’ll find exactly what you think you’re going to find
for everyone a reckoning.

The beast under the bed
the doubt inside your head
the spiders inside you
even if you want to forget.

I don’t know any more than you
if the sky will fall and crush us
or the seas rise up to take back what was theirs
Maybe we all get exactly 
what we think is coming
invite the devil we know right on up the stairs.

Oh, there ain’t no runnin’
from the hell you make inside of your mind
if you think you’re damned, you are
if you think you’ll fly, you will
you’ll find exactly what you think you’re going to find
for everyone a reckoning.
For everyone a reckoning.
