Reckoning

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

{Verse]

Whosoever's name ain't etched in gold

Will face the fire so fierce and bold

A lake that burns with wrath untamed

For deeds unholy and hearts unclaimed

[Chorus]

Oh the reckoning is drawing near

A price to pay for every tear

Ego's crown will crumble down

Arrogance lost in the flames that drown

[Verse 2]

They walked with pride their shadows long

Ignoring whispers of right and wrong

But justice waits with patient hand

To sift the truth from the sinking sand

[Chorus]

Oh the reckoning is drawing near

A price to pay for every tear

Ego's crown will crumble down

Arrogance lost in the flames that drown

[Bridge]

Choices made they carve your fate

No escape from judgment's gate

Evil seeds reap storms and fire

A soul consumed by its desire

[Chorus]

Oh the reckoning is drawing near

A price to pay for every tear

Ego's crown will crumble down

Arrogance lost in the flames that drown
