Reckoning

And I warned you once, a long time ago
When you were young, and wanted to know
But you flew to the light, charged in the night
Circling the flames, that kindle your games

I guided you, when you lost your way
The paths to follow, where not to stray
But you danced with the fire, in wanton desire
Your beguiling play, with beauty to prey

I shared lessons, in lyric and lore
Tongues to use, which hearts to cure
But you corrupted belief, for your own relief
Choosing to conspire, with arrogance and liars

I wrote a future, in chapter and verse
Words to council, and restrain your curse
But you twisted the magik, in deceiving italic
Frightened by youth, devotion and truth

Now your reckonings arrived, you cannot escape
A futile attempt, to atone your mistakes
You desperately need, what was offered before
As shadows return, your wills still at war
Your wills still at war

You can call you mother, searching for the answer
You can call your brother, but he’s just a chancer
Plead with doctors and priests, friends that have been
But there’s no way to silence, your voices and screams
Your Storytellers forsaken, he weeps and he greaves
You should have just listened, learnt and believed

Now your reckonings arrived, you cannot escape
Your futile attempts, to atone your mistakes
You desperately need, what was offered before
As shadows return, your wills still at war
Your wills still at war
