Day of Reckoning
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ominous sign blowing in the wind
ItÂ's coming right around the bend
Knew it was
But I wasnÂ't sure when
ItÂ's creeping right up the steps
ItÂ's at the door and itÂ's come to collect
From all the wrong doers
ItÂ's going to be hell on highwater tonight
When it rocks heads will roll
For all the sinners who sold their souls
When it rains it pours
For all the takers who took a little more
Ger moving itÂ's time to go
Parade rolling down redemption road
All the sinners will march to the drums
Damnation, leading in the bruning sun
The day of reckoning has just begun
No mercy, no grace
Not for liars who will kneel at the gates
Only darkness will now loom
For all the dogs who are licking their wounds
No entrance, u heard prayers
Masses of souls who will not be spared
Cheaters and theives come forth
In first days of light you were fore warned
When it rocks heads will roll
For all the sinners who sold their souls
When it rains it pours
For all the takers who took a little more
