The Reckoning
A man rises in the morning and looks out on his kingdomAnd he says it's goodThe walls have crumbled, the streets are floodedEverything's right where he put itAnd over there in the east the sun is burning downOn the meek and the wicked alikeHe says, "friends, come listen, do you hear that din in the distance?That's what justice sounds like"A voice spoke out and said, "sir I have no doubtThat justice is somewhere out thereBut between the rising growl and the siren's howl it's justGetting a little hard to hearAnd I mean no disrespect but I have one questionAs we stare out into the sunHow can you stand all that blood on your handsWhen you know as well as anyoneThat you're gonna be judged somedayYou see I heard you saying that this price is worth payingFor a paradise in bloomAnd begging your pardon but we're a long way from the gardenAnd it doesn't look like we'll be back any time soonAnd I heard your plea that this would all be much easierIf everyone would stop complainingBut if I may speak plainly, sir, don't stand there pissin' on my footAnd try to tell me it's rainingLetras de cancionesSo forgive me if I don't understandThe complexities of the reborn righteous manWho reaches out with Cain's helping handAnd forgive me if I can't comprehendThe grace and mercy inYour conceit and ignorance of consequenceBut you're gonna be judged somedayYou see, I rose this morning and I looked out on the rubbleAnd it was more than I could takeAnd I realized everything I see before meIs everything you left in your wakeWho will pay for this?Who will pay for all of this?"
