Reckoning

The air lingers with the stench of dead love
and cold decay
it stays with us
and can never be washed away

Deep within our minds we know
there is nothing that will forgive us now
For all that we have destroyed

Pointlessly, Needlessly, Shamelessly

If there is justice somewhere
We know
We are doom

Greed and envy devoured
Whatever there was of our humanity

Maybe it wasn’t any one of us
but it was all of us just the same

Sometimes when we’re alone at night
We toss and turn but sleep won’t come

A strange chill slips down our spines
And we know it’s out there
Waiting

The time of reckoning is near
And no one who walks
amongst us
Will ever be spared
