Time of Reckoning
Somewhere down the line
Eventually in time
The black sun shines
Its brightest darkness
On all of existence
Every soul is put to test
So be at your best
Or end up like the rest
Never try to second-guess
The nature of what it is
Ignorance is bliss
So don’t go there with this
Journey forward
Man with a mission
Going toward
Something he was missing
Or perhaps left behind?
Was a soul spared or declined?
Fearing the worst; assuming nothing
Halting the pursuit upon retrieving something
It is now the time of reckoning
See the signs – hear them beckoning
“It’s time for you to recognize
Our sinful deeds
Throughout our troubled lives”
The price we pay for the exchange
Is not worth the cost for all that is lost
