Reckoning

Reckoning

Reckoning...



I can't forget about the past

who was our redeemer

truth, that I thought I found at last

but truth became deceiver

tried so hard to better myself

my soul, my hearts contributor

so many times before my life was worse

today I am my keeper



In time we'll see our enemy

show us his strength and his weaknesses

power befall us, or he will crush us

as we travel through the ages

writing historys pages



I am the link between the future and the past

my ancestors blood in me

my blood in my children

all their powers derive from me, their future in my hands

these are the words of the watcher

these are the ways that befall us



Past and present revealed

the future concealed

but readable to the wise ones

incomprehendable to the common sons

time tells all tales



This book, teller of stories, our lives on display

the way we were, may be the way to be

our future is nothing but our past repeated

tomorrow is today, when yesterday was this day
