There's Going To Be A Reckoning

Verse 1:
Am
In the quiet before the dawn,
G
Shadows stretch and linger long,
F
There's a weight in the air I can’t deny,
Am
Like a storm that's bound to collide.

Chorus:
C
There’s going to be a reckoning,
G
The truth will find its day,
Am
No more hiding in the shadows,
F
No running away.
C
When the smoke clears from the fire,
G
And the dust begins to fall,
Am
There’s going to be a reckoning,
F
For us all.

Verse 2:
Am
The echoes of all our choices,
G
Are rattling in the wind, F
Every silence, every whisper,
Am
Every secret we kept within.

Am
No more walking blindfolded,
G
The truth is on the line,
F
There’s nowhere left to turn to,
Am
When we’ve run out of time.

Chorus:
C
There’s going to be a reckoning,
G
The truth will find its day,
Am
No more hiding in the shadows,
F
No running away.
C
When the smoke clears from the fire,
G
And the dust begins to fall,
Am
There’s going to be a reckoning,
F
For us all.

Bridge:
Dm
The lies we’ve woven tightly,
Am
Unravel thread by thread,
G
And in the mirror, staring back,
F
Are the lives we could’ve led.

Dm
It's a reckoning we can’t escape,
Am
It’s written in the stars,
G
And every step we took to run
F
Has only left us scars.

Final Chorus:
C
There’s going to be a reckoning,
G
The truth will stand its ground,
Am
No shadows left to hide in,
F
When justice comes around.
C
When the smoke clears from the fire,
G
And the dust begins to fall,
Am
There’s going to be a reckoning,
F
For one and all.
