Let’s be clear it’s a cardinal sin
Not to listen to the voice within
At the bottom of a spiritual well
But I still can’t escape the sound of the bells

I can burn my sails and run the ship aground
But I can’t stop carrying the anchor around
I can taste the clouds and I can touch the sun
But I can’t get high enough to change who I’ve become

Oh reckoning, the rain is coming
Oh, I can feel it in my frame
Oh reckoning, just keep running
Oh, until the hangman calls my name

At the moment when the roof caves in
There won’t be time to blame it on the wind
I had the system at my fingertips
But I’m lost in the vision of a solar eclipse

Oh reckoning, the rain is coming
Oh, I can feel it in my frame
Oh reckoning, just keep running
Oh, until the hangman calls my name

How long have I been running
How long have I been pursued
In the end it’s kind of funny
What it took to learn the truth
