Reckoning

Reckoning - Alanis Morissette

Hey hey little wonder

You walked the fields with all the fences down

You never knew the scent of the predator

You didn't know the house was on fire

And so you worked as you should

While they prey'd on all you ached for

And they pounced as they would

While the guards were away oh

Hey hey you maurauders

You got away while they claim I'm a liar

Why aren't the Gods and heroes all around me

And everyone's turning their eyes to the ground

And so you strike while it's hot

While the barricades are broken

You attacked at your will

While all the locks are frayed oh oh

Hey hey you denier

Finally everyone is gathering 'round me 'round me

Now that we all know better you'll be haunted

I hope you enjoy these drawings in your jail

And so brace brace yourself

For this reckoning day

I was once at a loss

Now I stand at the gate oh

Haa haa haa
