Day Of Reckoning
Snow falls down on this day so sweet.
Its our day of reckoning,
our day of defeat.
We lay down our swords and surrender
to the sky.
The earth will show no mercy.
Its fury sees through our lies.
If our spirits really are the kind that never
die.
Then this illusion of fear is insignificant
when the end is nigh.
Lets face now our creator.
Embrace the power of our maker.
Leave this earth and let it cleanse.
Let our spirits fly free and dance.
