Tonight is the reckoning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Footsteps echoing down the hall Shadows stretching against the wall You took the one that I held so dear Now the hunter's about to face the fear I traced your path through the freezing rain Every mile carved in grief and pain You think you're safe in the dark tonight Well, I brought my own electric light [Chorus] And the blade is cold, but my blood is hot You thought you'd leave me to rot I’m coming through the door, I’m breaking the glass This is the moment that won't let you pass For every promise you broke in the dust Tonight is the reckoning, tonight is the just [Verse 2] The floorboards creak under heavy tread We're dancing on the edge of the newly dead You’ve got your weapon, I’ve got my cause A love like mine doesn't follow laws You look surprised that I found your face In this godforsaken, forgotten place No place to run, no place to hide With a desperate lover right by your side [Chorus] And the blade is cold, but my blood is hot You thought you'd leave me to rot I’m coming through the door, I’m breaking the glass This is the moment that won't let you pass For every promise you broke in the dust Tonight is the reckoning, tonight is the just [Bridge] (Instrumental build-up, heavy driving bassline, snare rolls) You thought dead lips couldn't whisper a name You thought silence was the end of the game Look at me now, look at my eyes No more running, no more lies [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And the blade is cold, but my blood is hot You thought you'd leave me to rot I’m coming through the door, I’m breaking the glass This is the moment that won't let you pass For every promise you broke in the dust Tonight is the reckoning, tonight is the just [Outro] It's over now. Just the rain. (Heavy distorted guitar fade out) [Instrumental]
