Lyrics

There's a fault beneath the surface, a seam about to split
There's smoke on the horizon, a fire has been lit
There's trembling in the distance, trains a rolling down the track
Ain't no ticket you can buy now, ain't no way to turn it back
A reckoning is beckoning and the old world is fading into black
You can cut down all the flowers, but you cannot stop the spring
There's a pendulum in motion, and you can't outrun the swing
Push too far in one direction, a force will push right back in kind
Voices shoved into the shadows, will join and rise in time
A reckoning is breaking through, a hidden hand is moving by design
You can cover up the mirrors, you can turn out all the lights
But the future walks in barefoot, in the middle of the night
You can darken up the doorways, but dawn will seep in through the seams
Moving through the soul in silence, in nightmares and in dreams
A reckoning is waiting there where the fault lines convene
The universe is stronger than the hand upon the scale
You can rage against the future, but the future will prevail
Monsters of a dying order, cannot stop what's taking form
Tomorrow is a promise and it's sounding an alarm
A reckoning is in the wind, a brand-new day is being born
Bells are ringing in the valley, for the living and the dead
There's water at the doorstep, now it's lapping at the bed
A mighty storm is raging, but every storm comes to an end
You can shut down all the borders, you can hide inside your skin
But the reckoning's a river, and the river's rolling in
It's the sum of the equation, the price of what's been lost
What remains and what's surrendered, once the line is crossed
When the pain of the familiar outweighs the fear of the unknown
You can feel it in your body, down where the spirit meets the bone
A reckoning is beckoning and a reckoning's the only way back home
