The Reckoning
Verse 1

Step by step the shadows crawl

Hear the whispers down the hall

You thought the dark forgot your name
 But every little sin still spends the same
Pre-Chorus 1

You can’t hide from what you’ve done
 Hell’s got a table setting just for one
Ain’t no savior comin’ through
Heaven’s gone and washed her hands of you
Chorus 1

This is the reckoning

Feel the fire, hear the death bell ring Come a cold judgment day and your Mama’s gonna beg for your angel’s wings Who’s gonna tell her - she’s praying in vain
Verse 2
Footsteps fall where the sinners lay Blood-red sun’s gonna burn away
You crowned your head with stolen gold The cold wind’s humming like a hymn of old
Breakdown
Roll, roll, roll away
Roll away son
Justice always gets her man You better run
Pre-Chorus 1

You can’t hide from what you’ve done

Hell has got a table setting just for one
Ain’t no savior comin’ through
Heaven’s gone and washed her hands of you

Chorus 2

This is the reckoning

Feel the fire, hear the death bell ring, oh no
Come a cold judgment day and your
Mama’s gonna beg for your angel’s wings
That good-hearted woman is gettin’ down on her knees But who’s gonna tell her - she’s praying in vain

You and I we can’t deny
There’s something in the air tonight
Troubles aside and a little bit of wine and I bet we turn this day into night
So let’s go
Nothings gonna happen if we keep saying no
Pack your clothes and let’s hit the road
So let’s go!
You miss all the shots you never take
So let’s go!
We can hop on this train it’s not too late
We can hop on this train it leaves today
So will you come with me
I’m gonna make it a secret getaway
I’m gonna get away

Chips on the table
Verse 1
It looks like someone gone and called your number That man gonna hunt you down
It make no matter if you changed your colors Chips are gonna hit the ground
Verse 2
If you’re still standing when the dust is settled Good luck gonna come your way
So put a penny down on your way out
Saddle up with a twist of fate
Bridge 1
This the kinda place you don’t wanna owe favors Look for the man with the long black gun
The sun is coming up on your wager
Better hope the deal is done
Verse 3
Tracks in the rubble saying someone’s coming 
 Cold steel on the midnight wind

And every secret you’ve been tryin’ to bury
 Gonna show itself again
Verse 4
If you’ve been gamblin’ on borrowed mercy
 Hope you got a heavy hand

’Cause when the reaper comes to cash your soul out There’s no love for a dead-man’s scam
Verse 5
Bootprints fading where the night grows thinner Gun smoke in the pale moonlight
They say everybody loves a winner
But they’re begging for a fight

Verse 6
Luck gets brittle when the cards start falling You crack like a desert bone
So pony up, fate is calling
Gonna mark your journey home
Bridge 2
Ooo - Ain’t nobody giving in
Ooo - Ain’t nobody backing down
Ooo - Ain’t nobody left they gun
When the last one folds and the call comes in Boy you better be fixin to run

I'm not a man to follow
This life is hard to swallow
I keep light, traveling alone
Skip town as the city lights fall
The burden ain’t easy and the life ain’t cheap
I spent every penny and my eyes don’t sleep
I take fights to the devils own home
No mercy wherever I go
Riding in the sun but I work in the shade
This is how to pray
I know that I could live
Live a little longer
If I just stayed in the home we made
I wish I didn’t love
It only makes it harder
But you know I have to go
Do I make it out alive?
Do I make it out alive?
