The Reckoning (don't Tread On Me)

Iced Earth

Destiny's called us

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me

Revenge is not justice

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me



You went too far this time

for this heinous crime

You will know defeat

Begging on your knees



One by one you'll fall

Your back against the wall

Nowhere to turn

You're sure to burn



Destiny's called us

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me



The hours close at hand

We'll make our final stand

Justice shall be done

Nowhere to run



True evil broods in you

You're just a brainwashed fool

The coward close that hides

Spewing forth his lies



Revenge is not justice

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me



Born of destruction, bred in agony

Is this my salvation?

From these ashes, i am your devastation



If it was up to me

Eye for an eye I'd seek

But the high road we will take

Lady Justice is at stake



The Judgement has been made

In blood it shall be paid

Death knows what to do

The horseman comes for you.



Destiny's called us

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me

Revenge is not justice

It's the reckoning

This time it's for blood

Don't tread on me
