                             THE RECKONING

This is 100% right and i know because my band plays it and it sounds perfect. I also
gave you the lyrics to this great band.  The lead singer sounds just like Rob Halford
of Judas Priest the greatest metal band of all time.

The tuning is down a half step
{Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb}

ICED EARTH
The Reckoning Lyrics


[Chorus]
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me 
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, yeah 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, your sure to burn 

[Chorus]
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me 

The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand 
Justice shall be done, nowhere to run 
True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool 
The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies 

[Chorus]
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me 

Born of destruction, bred in agony 
Is this my salvation? 
From these ashes of your devastation

If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say
With a hammer we will take, Lady Justice is asleep
The Judgment has been made, in blood it shall be paid
Death knows what to do, the horseman comes for you.

[Chorus]
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me 
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning 
This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me
