Reckoning
[Verse]
Stone hearts break the air tonight
Fingers pointing sharp as knives
Shadows whisper in their sin
A world that tears instead of mends
[Verse 2]
They preach love with a crooked tongue
Holy words from a loaded gun
Blind to pain they claim to heal
Spitting fire while they kneel
[Chorus]
There will be a reckoning
The sky will crack the truth will sing
No more silence no more lies
We'll light the dark with burning skies
[Verse 3]
Ashes falling from the past
Broken promises built to last
Chains of judgment bound too tight
We'll break them all before the night
[Bridge]
Scream it loud don't turn away
The weak will rise the strong will fray
No more saints with blood-stained hands
We are the ones who make a stand
[Chorus]
There will be a reckoning
The sky will crack the truth will sing
No more silence no more lies
We'll light the dark with burning skies

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

The Path to Salvation
The late autumn evening air filled the monk's lungs, but it wasn't the season that chilled his bones. The heavy-handed presence of evil he had sensed upon entering the woods surrounding this mountain village had not bothered to conceal itself from him.
