- The Reckoning Lyrics / with translationsI've turned the key to Pandora's box
And I'll never be forgiven
The skeletons are taking on a life of their own
Unapologetic about all that has been hidden
The dance of social graces exhausts me to the bone
I've allowed myself to be
A smiling, willing victim
To those of you in sharkskin suits who claim to be so
wise
Through every metamorphasis I've taken what you've
given
But when the money disappeared you left me hear to die
Now all I see
All I got is me
But that's so much more
Than I had ever dreamed
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I'm naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
When I was a child of God
I took a noble calling
To never let another man look down upon my youth
After all the self depricating, the fasting and the
demon slaying
Your ways of sin became my only truth
And now I see
That God is me
And that's so much more
Than I had ever dreamed
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I'm naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
Now all I see
All I got is me
And that's so much more
Than you have ever seen
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I"m naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
Now the day of reckoning is here.
And I'll never be forgiven
The skeletons are taking on a life of their own
Unapologetic about all that has been hidden
The dance of social graces exhausts me to the bone
I've allowed myself to be
A smiling, willing victim
To those of you in sharkskin suits who claim to be so
wise
Through every metamorphasis I've taken what you've
given
But when the money disappeared you left me hear to die
Now all I see
All I got is me
But that's so much more
Than I had ever dreamed
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I'm naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
When I was a child of God
I took a noble calling
To never let another man look down upon my youth
demon slaying
Your ways of sin became my only truth
And now I see
That God is me
And that's so much more
Than I had ever dreamed
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I'm naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
Now all I see
All I got is me
And that's so much more
Than you have ever seen
So take in every inch of me
I don't care if you like what you see
I'd rather die than to live by your fear
I"m naked now and I'm not bleeding
I can't have your self-righteous screaming
Cause now the day of reckoning is here
Now the day of reckoning is here.
