A Reckoning

A reckoning A new beginning The world's still spinning round An icy stare From a millionaire Whose mansion's burning down The early warnings Come and gone There's no cries left to drown There's sand and smoke And whispers spoke Of a reaping we had sown An arid wild A guilty smile A mother's child disowned The early warnings Come and gone There's no cries left to drown A prophet's doom In summer's swoon A red moon bearing down This telescope My final hope The roaches wear the crown The early warnings Come and gone There's no cries left to drown There's no cries left to drown
