Day of Reckoning - Radical Redemption

I like the way that I make you itch And all the reasons I give you to bitch And how I make you wanna scream in pain And feel your life is just a losing game I like the way that you let me in The way you look when the walls cave in I like the way that your stomach knots And how you cry for it all to stop I like the way that you fool yourself And make believe there's nobody else I like the way that you stand in line And beg salvation from the empty skies, (empty skies) Don't want no revenge Ain't no payback time It ain't no getting even Here comes the reckoning day, (day, day, day...) I like the things that you try to fake And your face when I see you break And that you say you will pray for me You realize you are prey for me I like the way you stay on attack No matter what, I keep coming back And how you try to hold me down But you end up driven to the ground, (to the ground) Don't want no revenge Ain't no payback time It ain't no getting even Here comes the reckoning (Don't want no revenge) Don't want no revenge (Ain't no payback time) Ain't no payback time (It ain't no getting even) It ain't no getting even Here comes the reckoning Here comes the reckoning day, (day, day) Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning day Oh, here it comes It's coming to getcha

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

From the hands it came down From the side it came down From the feet it came down And ran to the ground Between heaven and hell A teardrop fell In the deep crimson dew The tree of life grew And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree And were redeemed by the blood From the tree streamed a light That started the fight 'Round the tree grew a vine On whose fruit I could dine My old friend Lucifer came Fought to keep me in chains But I saw through the tricks Of six-sixty-six And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree And were redeemed by the blood From his hands it came down From his side it came down From his feet it came down And ran to the ground And a small inner voice Said "You do have a choice." The vine engrafted me And I clung to the tree And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And with the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood I clung to the tree And was redeemed by the blood From his hands it came down From his side it came down From the feet it came down And ran to the ground

I know sorry is not enough To erase all the pain from when I messed up I'm not here to overturn my conviction These eyes are on the road, the road to redemption Well, it's only until you lose Everything that you love that you're forced to choose And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention To keep you on the straight, the road to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness It's a long way down from the fall And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction To find my way back, back to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness When everyone left me for dead You never gave up, you never quit I remember the words you said We can still be good again Now I'm looking you in the eyes My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide And I'm never going back to that condition You showed me the way to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end, you never left when I needed your, needed your forgiveness
