The Reckoning - Velvet Starlings

Crossed my heart, broke your promise, told me lies Why did you watch me suffer? Make me feel like I deserved to Everybody takes everybody breaks Somebody's heart leaving someone alone But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone. You made a mess outta me Where do I begin? You pay for your sins. Like a reckoning You never saw coming I'm the reaper outside your door You took everything Made me feel less than nothing I'm getting what I came for Like the sound of falling stars Crashing in the dark I said a prayer and buried your name And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire The Reckoning I gave you more than my heart could hope for You misused it Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor When you tore through it Laying me to ruin, you knew what you were doing Leaving me just skin and bone But trusting you was no one's fault but my own You get what you give, so take your last breath 'fore I lay you to rest Like a reckoning You never saw coming I'm the reaper outside your door You took everything Made me feel less than nothing I'm getting what I came for Like the sound of falling stars Crashing in the dark I said a prayer and buried your name And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire The Reckoning I should've known better than that I should've known all along I should've known better than that I should've known but now I'm moving on... Like a reckoning You never saw coming I'm the reaper outside your door You took everything Made me feel less than nothing I'm getting what I came for Like the sound of falling stars Crashing in the dark I said a prayer and buried your name And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire The Reckoning You never saw coming, you never saw me coming The Reckoning I'm the reaper outside your door I am The Reckoning For every wrong you did to me I am The Reckoning

Horsemen ride into the night Bringing chaos with fury and might Sky turns black, stars align Rapture calls, it's the end of times The heavens cry as darkness looms Robbed injustice, impending doom Judgement strikes, might revealed Chaos unleashed, your fate is sealed The angels weep The demons cheer The sinners tremble The saints prepare This is the reckoning The judgement day This is the reckoning The end of days Revelations, truth, on the youngest day In the depths of hell no secrets stay Souls are judged, no one can flee No escape from the end decree No mercy shown No second chance The flames of fate In a deadly dance This is the reckoning The final call This is the reckoning For one and all Horsemen ride, duty complete Ashes of life beneath their feet Darkness falls, the final sign The grand finale, the end of times The curtain falls The verdict clear The reckoning The end is here This is the reckoning The judgement day This is the reckoning The end of days

When I woke up, I've faced everything There's something burning inside me The world is crushing, it's pulling me back From now on nothing can stop me My life, I'm fighting the shadow With all the faces I carry with me I had the strength to leave it all behind It's do or die, you gotta believe it Now I know, I've never felt so strange But you know, It's the best part of me I put my heart on this, It's stronger than myself This will last for eternity I feel the urge growing inside It's time to raise the flag Through all successes and failures We are the only salvation left Come back the way you started Don't let the pain consumes you It's always better to trust yourself Than live a life in a hope for something I promise you, these words will never be forgotten Your light comes with your fight This is something that means everything If they say that you chose the wrong way Just follow your heart, become something that you believe Now I know, I've never felt so strange But you know, It's the best part of me I put my heart on this, It's stronger than myself This will last for eternity Now you know, you've never felt so strange Let me know, are you proud of yourself? I put my heart into this, It's all that I believe This will last for eternity

I know you have to But I don't want you to go I'll keep you close It might be better, but We wanna take things slow Just hold me close 'Cause I've been shaking For a little while Don't keep me waiting now You and me, we rule The world tonight Oh, I Feel so alive And if it gets darker We make it bright I'm yours Baby you're mine I'm so glad you're mine Ooh, Ooh Let me hold your heart Let me guide you home I'll keep you close Let me in your world Be your corner stone So hold me close 'Cause I've been waiting For a little while Don't keep me craving now You and me, we rule The world tonight Oh, I Feel so alive And if it gets darker We make it bright I'm yours And baby you're mine I'm so glad you're mine Ooh, Ooh So glad you're mine Oh, oh, oh 'Cause I've been shaking For a little while Don't keep me craving now Ohh now You and me, we rule The world tonight Oh, I Feel so alive And if it gets darker We make it bright I'm yours And baby you're mine You and me, we rule The world tonight Oh, I Feel so alive And if it gets darker We make it bright I'm yours Baby you're mine I'm so glad you're mine Ohh, ohhh The world tonight You and me, we rule The world tonight

Well, we watched the starlings fly Around the burnt-down pier and die Spilled my coffee on my sleeve She wiped it with a smile And told me I was juvenile And kissed me softly on my cheek And her hair danced in the breeze Like a thousand swinging trees In a forest lying next to stormy seas Well, we watched the wintry sky Turn a shade of turquoise, I Whispered softly "I feel lost" She turned with laughing eyes And curled her lips towards the sky And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!" And we laughed like a pair of fools Like kids, they laugh at school And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
