The Reckoning Lyrics - Within Temptation

[Verse 1] 

As cold as stone, they march in darkness 

Enslaving the young and killing their fathers 

But soon they'll know 

The path they've chosen 

Has carved their faith in stone 

[Pre-Chorus] 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

Of reckoning

[Chorus] 

Red tears run down like a river 

Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear 

No fear you wanna end the pain 

Don't let go, don't back down 

Hold the line 

We'll bring the reckoning 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

Of reckoning 

[Verse 2] 

We're all alone, walking in twilight 

The night has been long and so many've fallen 

Feel no remorse, light will be breaking 

Our freedom is worth it all

[Pre-Chorus] 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

Of reckoning 

[Chorus] 

Red tears run down like a river 

Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear 

No fear you wanna end the pain 

Don't let go, don't back down 

Hold the line 

We'll bring the reckoning 

[Bridge] 

I see your face, find piece of mind 

Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning 

The end of war, the great divine 

We'll see the day of reckoning 

[Outro] 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

Of reckoning 

We'll bring the reckoning 

In blood and tears, a thousand times 

We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line 

Of reckoning
