The Reckoning Lyrics

Crippled Black Phoenix The Reckoning

[Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 1:17)]

[Verse 1]
Out in the woods, under the stars
Four legged creatures gathering up
As the midnight hour nears
All past fears disappear

[Chorus]
The time has come to pay the price
For the cruelty that's been going on for years
The hunt will take a new turn
Because now the rules have changed
[Verse 2]
'Nature is evil', Mister Herzog said
And I think he might be right... and wrong
'Cause everything would be in balance
If it wasn't for humankind

[Bridge]
Hunters hunted back, there's new prey on the track
Hunters getting attacked, and their bullets bouncing back

[Verse 3]
Out in the woods, under the moon
Shining eyes... they will attack soon
As the midnight hour's here
It's time for retaliation

[Chorus]
The time has come to pay the price
For the cruelty that's been going on for years
The hunt will take a new turn
Because now the rules have changed

[Outro]
Your kingdom falls
Right before your eyes
And we can't go back
I surrender as a human
Apologies not accepted
