The Reckoning Songtext
von Framing Hanley

Snake eyes, yeah, you′re a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning

Aged like wine they tossed away (tossed away)
Afraid to stain their classes
Sealed the time in cellophane (cellophane)
Then watched it turn to ashes

Another time, another place
Another promise that you break
And now you're breaking down

Snake eyes, yeah, you′re a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning
Can't find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive, you're headed for the bottom
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning


Close the book or turn the page (turn the page)
The plot′s starting to thicken
Don′t you look the other way (other way)
It's time for you to listen

Another time, another place
Another mask to hide your face
But now (you gotta take a good long look in the mirror)

Snake eyes, yeah, you′re a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning
Can't find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive, you′re headed for the bottom
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning

The dangers of your negligence
A different kind of art
Blame it on your arrogance
I guess that's who you are
Lamb to the slaughter, I won′t (I see you now)
Stand at the altar alone (all alone)
The sins of a martyr unfold (I see you now)
I see you now, I see you now (I guess that's who we are)


Snake eyes, yeah, you're a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning
Can′t find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive, you′re headed for the bottom
You can not run from me
I am the reckoning
