[Verse 1] Look at the wreckage, look at the wall Watching the shadows, waiting to fall Pressure is rising, tick of the clock Standing alone in a world full of shock Tore down the engine, running on fumes Trapped in the silence of echoing rooms They wanted a show, they wanted a fight I was just trying to make it through night! [Verse 2:] Back in the corner, nowhere to run Staring right into the barrel of a gun Counted me out, thought I was done Battle is over, the war has begun Stripping the layers, taking the wheel Nothing to hide and nothing to steal I built a fortress out of the pain Now I stand tall in the pouring rain! [Verse 3] The ground is shaking, the fever breaks I'm paying the price for my own mistakes Look in my eyes, I’m breaking the spell Dragging my soul through the gates of hell! Tear down the curtain and turn off the light I am the monster that feeds on the night No turning back now, no place to hide Feel the acceleration from inside! [Pre-Climax] And now the sky begins to bleed... I’m taking back everything I need! Welcome to the end of who I used to be! [Climax / Main Chorus] WELCOME TO THE RECKONING, THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM! WATCH THE OLD REALITY BREAKING INTO FORM! I AM NOT A VICTIM, I AM NOT A SLAVE! DIGGING UP THE ANSWERS FROM AN EARLY GRAVE! THIS IS WHERE THE MONSTER LEARNS HOW TO FLY! TEAR IT DOWN! BREAK THE CHAINS! NO MORE FEAR! NO MORE PAIN! RISE! RISE! GET OUT OF MY WAY! [Outro] Underneath the sky... Welcome to the reckoning...
