Dead Reckoning - Lyrics - Ratt

Title: Dead Reckoning
Artist: Ratt
Composer(s): Steve Pearcy, Jack Blades, Warren De Martini

Lyric:
You know you're livin' a lie when you just can't win
Pulling in first prize ain't gonna give you a break
You know I'm kickin' back, I had a broken wing
Me and my shadow are the next best thing
I need someone
You know it might take more than you give to me

Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning

And take me in for the night in the right time zone
We'll do what you like, make a left turn home
I put out the light, you're turnin' way too red
No stop sign straight up ahead

You need so much
So much sympathy
That's more than I can say
You know it's not too late

Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good, we'll do it again
See your way clear, dead reckoning

Tell me why, tell me why
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?

You mean so much
So much to me
That's more than I can say
You know it's not too late

Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
What we got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good, we'll do it again
See your way clear, dead reckoning, yeah
What we got here is dead reckoning
What we got here is dead reckoning

Reckoning Day - Lyrics - Youthanasia - Megadeth

Title: Reckoning Day
Album: Youthanasia
Artist: Megadeth
Composer(s): Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Marty Friedman, Nick Menza

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
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

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning 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

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning

Here comes the reckoning day
Here comes the reckoning day
Here comes the reckoning day

Framing Armageddon - Lyrics - Iced Earth

Title: Framing Armageddon
Artist: Iced Earth
Composer(s): Jon Schaffer

Lyric:
Centuries pass step by step
Revelations coming threat
Sands of time dark intent
Devise creeds breeds discontent

Prophecy, stars collide
Born is he who turns the tide
Ancient rage, vehemence
Indignation and torment

Dark equation, astrology, Armageddon, the reckoning
(Framing Armageddon)
Revelation, astral beast, Armageddon, the reckoning
(Framing Armageddon)

Shallow views, intolerance
Jewish, Muslim, Protestants
The root of man's insolence
Lies in fear and arrogance

A valid threat if they unite
Moses, Muhammad, Jesus Christ
Born of man with second sight
Twist their words we will divide

Dark equation, astrology, Armageddon, the reckoning
(Framing Armageddon)
Revelation, astral beast, Armageddon, the reckoning
(Framing Armageddon)

If humans learn what's truly at stake
And of the birth of Set Abominae
Their primitive minds, a maddened state, no
Frame it as the elder deemed
Frame it our way

Framing Armageddon
Framing Armageddon
Framing Armageddon
Framing Armageddon

Reckoning - Lyrics - So Much Shouting, So Much Laughing (Live) - Ani Difranco

Title: Reckoning
Album: So Much Shouting, So Much Laughing (Live)
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
You can doubt anything if you think about it long enough
'Cause what happened always adjusts to fit what happened after that
And it's hard to feel like you are free, all you seem to do is referee
I remember when it was just you and me steppin' up to bat

And win or lose, just that we chose, this little war is what kills us
And either or it's that this war is, maybe also what thrills us

We thought we left possession behind
The truth is I was yours and you weren't mine
I've replayed a thousand times exactly what was said
'Cause nothing is as it appears in the fun house mirrors of your fears
On a roller coaster of all these years with your hands above your head

And win or lose, just that we chose, this little war is what kills us
And either or it's that this war is, maybe also what thrills us

And you know I don't care how fast you run
Just tell me, baby, that when you're done with your little marathon
That you still have cab fare home
'Cause the finish line is a shifty thing and what is life if not reckoning?
And baby, you are still the song I sing to myself when I'm alone

And win or lose just that you chose this little war is what kills you
And either or it's that this war is, maybe also what thrills you

Into The Nowhere - Lyrics - Agent Steel

Title: Into The Nowhere
Artist: Agent Steel
Composer(s): Bernie Versailles, Bruce Hall

Lyric:
The God sighed and silence was born
A tortured life is spared of vision
And it's painful when it's worn
The cloak of shame spares no protection

His world is made of steel
In His hands, He bent the fire
To mold a thing so real
A burning world born of desire

His hope was not enough to fill an empty cup
He simply let it drain into the nowhere
There is no reckoning, there is no bargaining
In symbol, rain will fall as He lays weeping

We stand below rinsed by the tears
Unlike rain they bring no healing
Rust corrodes the souls
Of children wrought to match His image

Abandoned with all of His cares
No choice but to wait for the kindness of time
To erase us one and all
To flow like a river with no beginning

His hope was not enough to fill an empty cup
He simply let it drain into the nowhere
There is no reckoning, there is no bargaining
In symbol rain will fall

Head in hands and weary eyes
The failures scratch and carve the lines
Into the face of one
The lines into the face of none

He sees His world, He sees His dream
And nothing's ever as it seems
The promise was so real
Now all that's left is crumbled steel

No prayers are said in His name
Nobody knew that He ever existed
Alone He accepts all the blame
Plaintively wonders how dreams become twisted

And He waits for another to come
Another, a chance to revive from the nothing
The fabric to weave once again
To forge from the fire His vision of man

His hope was not enough to fill an empty cup
He simply let it drain into the nowhere
There is no reckoning, there is no bargaining
In symbol rain will fall as He lays weeping

His hope was not enough to fill an empty cup
He simply let it drain into the nowhere
Let it drain into the nowhere
Let it drain into

The Reckoning - Lyrics - 30 Seconds To Mars

Title: The Reckoning
Artist: 30 Seconds To Mars
Composer(s): Jared Leto

Lyric:
The enemy arrives
Escape into the night
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Break into another time

This enemy alive
Divinity defines
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Everybody run

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
I'm waiting for the day to come

Come with us to the ride
Join in the fight
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Break into another time

Unity divides
Division will unite
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Everybody run now
Everybody run

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
I'm waiting for the day to come

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
America it's all so beautiful
Until it comes away

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down

Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came

Tamburitza Lingua - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: Tamburitza Lingua
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Angela Difranco

Lyric:
A cold and porcelain lonely in an old New York hotel
A stranger to a city that she used to know so well
Bathing in a bathroom that is bathed in the first blue light
Of the beginning of a century at the end of an endless night

Then she is wet behind the ears and wafting down the avenue
Pre-rush hour, post-rain shower
Stillness seeping upwards like steam
From another molten sewer summer in New York

They've been spraying us
With chemicals in our sleep
Us, they
Something about the mosquitoes
Having some kind of disease
Them, me

CIA foul play if you ask the guy
Selling hair dryers out of a gym bag
Chemical warfare

"I'm telling you, lab rat to lab rat", he says
"That's where the truth is at"
That's where the truth is at
That's where the truth is at

And everything seems to have gone terribly wrong that can
But one breath at a time is an acceptable plan
She tells herself and the air is still there
And this morning it's even breathable

And for a second the relief is unbelievable
And she's a heavy sack of flour sifted her burden lifted
She's full of clean wind for one lean moment
And then she's trapped again

Reverted, caged and contorted
With no way to get free
And she's getting plenty of little kisses
But nobody's slippin' her the key

Her whole life is a long list of what ifs
And she doesn't even know where to begin
And the pageantry of suffering therein
Rivals television

TV is, after all, the modern day roman coliseum
Human devastation as mass entertainment
And now millions sit jeering collectively cheering
The bloodthirsty hierarchy of the patriarchal arrangement

She is hailing a cab
She is sailing down the avenue
She's 19 going on 30

Or maybe she's really 30 now
It's hard to say
It's hard to keep up with time once it's on its way

And, you know, she never had much of a chance
Born into a family built like an avalanche
And somewhere in the 80's between the Oat Bran and the Ozone
She started to figure out things like why

One eye pointed upwards looking for the holes in the sky
One eye on the little flashing red light
A Picasso face twisted and listing down the canvas
Of the end of an endless night

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
And Kerplooey you're done
You're done for, you're done for good
So tell me did you?
Did you do, did you do all you could?

Valley Forge [Fade Out Version] - Lyrics - The Reckoning - Iced Earth

Title: Valley Forge [Fade Out Version]
Album: The Reckoning
Artist: Iced Earth
Composer(s): Jon Schaffer

Lyric:
Close your eyes and imagine, the soldier at valley forge
The suffering that he endured was real
Starvation, total war, yet in has eyes the iron will to win
And for the cause, he won't relent

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands
His musket clutched, an iron grip
And for the cause, he has but one regret
He's only got one life to give

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

It's time for us, to open up our eyes
And cherish the lives we all can have
And to the ones who kept our freedom free
Words can't express all that you've done

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust
His politics a birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

It Must Have Been The Roses - Lyrics - Reckoning (Live) - Grateful Dead

Title: It Must Have Been The Roses
Album: Reckoning (Live)
Artist: Grateful Dead
Composer(s): Robert C Hunter

Lyric:
Annie laid her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
All I know I could not leave her there

I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
All I know I could not leave her there

Ten years the waves rolled the ships home from the sea
Thinking well how it may blow in all good company
If I tell another what your own lips told to me
Let me lay 'neath the roses and my eyes no longer see

I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
All I know I could not leave her there

One pane of glass in the window
No one is complaining though, come in and shut the door
Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore
And it's strange how no one comes ?round any more

I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
All I know I could not leave her there

Jack - A - Roe - Lyrics - Reckoning (Live) - Grateful Dead

Title: Jack - A - Roe
Album: Reckoning (Live)
Artist: Grateful Dead
Composer(s): Traditional Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Robert Hall Weir, Brent Richard Mydland, Philip Lesh, Jerome J Garcia

Lyric:
There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell
He had a beautiful daughter, the truth to you we'll tell
Oh, the truth to you we'll tell

She had sweethearts a plenty and men of high degree
But none but Jack the sailor, her true love ever be
Oh, her true love ever be

Jackie's gone a sailing with trouble on his mind
He's left his native country and his darling girl behind
Oh, his darling girl behind

She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array
She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away
Oh, convey herself away

?Before you get on board, Sir, your name we'd like to know?
She smiled on her countenance, ?They called me Jack-A-Roe
Oh, they called me Jack-A-Roe?

I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball
Oh, to face the cannonball

I know my waist's too slender, my fingers they are small
But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall
Oh, to see ten thousand fall

The war soon being over, she went and looked around
Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found
Oh, her darling boy she found

She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town
She sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds
Oh, to quickly heal his wounds

This couple they got married, so well they did agree
This couple they got married, so why not you and me?
Oh, why not you and me?
Oh, why not you and me?

The Race Is On - Lyrics - Reckoning (Live) - Grateful Dead

Title: The Race Is On
Album: Reckoning (Live)
Artist: Grateful Dead
Composer(s): Don Rollins

Lyric:
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside
Like my heart's got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp
And painful that I may never shake

You might think that I'm taking it hard
Since you broke me off with a call
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow
And I might lay right down and bawl

Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartaches a goin' to the inside
My tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall

My heart's our of the running
True love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final result would be
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you're gone from me

There's an aching pain in my heart
For the name of the one that I hated to face
Someone else came out to win her
And I came out in second place

Imagine That - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: Imagine That
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Di Franco

Lyric:
Imagine that I'm on the stage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And what's beyond you is hidden from sight

And somebody right now is yawning
And watching me like a TV
And I've been frantically piling up sandbags
Against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity

Then suddenly I hear my guitar singing
And so I just start singing along
And somewhere in my chest all the noise
Just gets crushed by the song

Imagine that I'm at your mercy
Imagine that you are at mine
Oh, pretend that I've been standing here
Watching you watching me all this time

Now imagine that you are the weather
In the tiny snow globe of this song
And I am a statue of liberty, one inch long

And here I am at my most hungry
And here I am at my most full
And here I am waving a red cape
Locking eyes with a bull

Just imagine that I'm on stage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And what's beyond you is hidden from sight

Title: In Here
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Angela Di Franco

Lyric:
Even when I look right at you
I always just see through
And I always just see new things
To admire about you

Am I what you thought you were getting?
Does this love we make make you proud?
Does it look like it did on the menu
Minus, of course, the little dark cloud?

'Course when we signed up for forever
We had no idea it was in here
I guess always is all this and then some
I guess at least that much is clear

And whenever I look at you
You know, I always just see through
And I always just see new things
To admire about you

School Night - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: School Night
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Angela Difranco

Lyric:
She went over to his apartment, clutching her decision
He said, ?Did you come here to tell me goodbye??
So she built a skyscraper of procrastination
And then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window for her reply

And she felt like an actress just reading her lines
When she finally said, ?Yes it's really goodbye this time?
Far below was the blacktop and the tiny toy cars
And it all fell so fast, and it all fell so far

And she said, ?You are a miracle but that is not all
You are also a stiff drink and I am on call, yeah
You are a party and I am a school night
And I'm lookin' for my door key but you are my porch light?

And you'll never know, dear just how much I loved you
You'll probably think this was just my big excuse
But I stand committed to a love that came before you
And the fact that I adore you is but one of my truths

What of the mother whose house is in flames
And both of her children are in their beds crying
And she loves them both with the whole of her heart
But she knows she can only carry one at a time?

She's choking on the smoke of unthinkable choices
And she is haunted by the voices of so many desires
She's bent over from the business of begging forgiveness
While frantically running around putting out fires

But then what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties
The gravity of duties or the ground speed of joy
Tell me what kind of gauge can quantify elation?
What kind of equation could I possibly employ?

And you'll never know, dear just how much I loved you
You probably think this was just my big excuse
But I stand committed to a love that came before you
And the fact that I adore you is just one of my truths

And so I, I'm goin' home to please the one I so love pleasing
And I don't expect he'll have much sympathy for my grieving
But I guess that this is the price that we pay for the privilege of living
For even a day in a world with so many things worth believing in

Old Old Song - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: Old Old Song
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
I'll sing you a song that starts out descriptive
And locates a time and a place
Like a dinner table where a whole family
Is just sitting down to say grace

An old old song that moves into action
Taking its sweet sweet time
And waits until we all say Amen
Again and again in rhyme

It's the story of a father and a mother
Who battle each other over nothin'
With a couple of kids trying to figure
Which way the plot's spinning
Who's winning and who is bluffing

It's a story as common as a penny, son
It ain't really worth anything to anyone

Poor little sore little song
That aches like a muscle each time that it moves
Sad little song that you play
And you play and you play and you play 'til you lose

While history is outside writing
A recipe book for every earthly pain
This song is inside finger painting dark swirls
Again and again and they all look the same

'Cuz what if you come home from school one day
And you find your whole family's at war
And there's this ominous silence just waiting to be broken
And there's secret places for hiding underneath the floorboards

And everyone seems to be bracing
For the subharmonic thunder of the next bomb
And everyone seems to be waiting for the cops to bust in
With their guns drawn at the bleak light of dawn

It's a story as common as a penny, son
I don't think it's worth anything to anyone

Independence Day - Lyrics - Country Piano Tribute - Carrie Underwood

Title: Independence Day
Album: Country Piano Tribute
Artist: Carrie Underwood
Composer(s): Gretchen Peters

Lyric:
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek

And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So, I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end

Some folks whispered some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home

Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's the Independence Day

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day
Roll the stone away, it's Independence Day

Lyric:
Why I married me a bad girl, tell you the reason why
Bad girls will even do things on the sly
Look for your supper to be good and hot
She never even put a stew bone in the pot

She's on the road again, sure as you're born
Natural born easy on the road again

Friend come by, say looking for his hat
Wants to know where your husband's at
I don't know, he's on his way to the pen
Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again

Went to my house the front door was locked
Went 'round to my window, but my window was locked
Jumped right back, shook my head
Big old rounder in my folding bed
Jumped into the window, broke the glass
Never seen that little rounder run so fast

Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again

Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through

When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the police man comes
When yo go down to deep elem put your money in your pants
'Cause the women in deep elem, they don't give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues

Heartbreak Even - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: Heartbreak Even
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
It's a heartbreak even situation
Nothing lost and nothing gained
So I'm 10 years old again
Standing in the backyard waving at a train
I feel you make love to me slightly
Every time you let a little laugh slip too soon
And the moment passes over us so lightly
It feels like sand blowing over a dune
You try not to let your emotions show

But it ain't a balloon you can just let go
It's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
Sticky hands
Sticky arms
Sticky situation

It's a heartbreak even situation
One part powerful elation
One part pitiful and frail
And I'm trying to feel my way around
A book of promises written in braille
There is pressure from within this
And pressure from above
There is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love
And there's wet wool blankets one, two, three
Laid onto my chest
'Til I just can't breathe
And I try not to let my emotions show

But it ain't a balloon I can just let go
It's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
Sticky hands
Sticky arms
Sticky situation

So What - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: So What
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
Who's gonna give a shit
Who's gonna take the call
When you find out that the road ahead
Is painted on a wall

And you're turned up to top volume
And you're just sitting there in pause
With your feral little secret
Scratching at you with its claws

And you're trying hard to figure out
Just exactly how you feel
Before you end up parked and sobbing
Forehead on the steering wheel

Who are you now and who were you then
That you thought somehow you could just pretend
That you could figure it all out the mathematics of regret
So it takes two beers to remember now and five to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what

How many times undone can one person be
As they're careening through the facade
Of their favorite fantasy you just close your eyes slowly
Like you're waiting for a kiss and hope some lowly little power

Will pull you out of this but none comes at first
And little comes at all
And when inspiration finally hits you
It barely even breaks your fall

Who were you then and who are you
Now that you can pretend that it'll all work out
Subtract out the impact and the fall is all you get
So here's two beers to remember why and three more to forget
That I loved you so yeah, I loved you, so what

I loved you
So what
