"The Reckoning" lyrics

(Snake eyes, yea, you're a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning)

Aged like wine they tossed away
Afraid to stain their glasses
Sealed the time in cellophane
Then watched it turn to ashes

Another time, another place
Another promise that you break
And now you're breaking down

Snake eyes, yea, you're a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning
Can't find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive; you're headed for the bottom
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning

Close the book or turn the page
The plot's starting to thicken
Don't you look the other way
It's time for you to listen

Another time, another place
Another mask to hide your face
But now (you gotta take a good long look in the mirror)

Snake eyes, yea, you're a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning
Can't find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive; you're headed for the bottom
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning

The dangers of your negligence
A different kind of art
Blame it on your arrogance
I guess that's who you are

Lamb to the slaughter I won't (I see you now)
Stand at the alter alone (all alone)
The sins of a martyr unfold (I see you now)
I see you now, I see you now
I guess that's who we are

Snake eyes, yea, you're a high roller
I am the devil on your shoulder
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning
Can't find your lightning in a bottle
Nosedive you're headed for the bottom
You cannot run from me
I am the reckoning
