John Mark McMillan - Reckoning Day lyrics
[John Mark McMillan - Reckoning Day lyrics]
The lions in the street bend their
Heads for the reckoning day
'Cause the interstate's giving up her
Dead for the reckoning day
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
Bury all your guns in the
Sand 'cause the temperature's changed
And the blood-shot eye of the sun
Stains the bones of the slain
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
The hour's gonna take you apart
On the reckoning day
If the property lines of your heart
Are drawn on the clay
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
The tidewater's taxing the shores
Of the washing away
The flood stands high at the doors
Of the houses you've made
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Heads for the reckoning day
'Cause the interstate's giving up her
Dead for the reckoning day
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
Bury all your guns in the
Sand 'cause the temperature's changed
And the blood-shot eye of the sun
Stains the bones of the slain
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
The hour's gonna take you apart
On the reckoning day
If the property lines of your heart
Are drawn on the clay
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
The tidewater's taxing the shores
Of the washing away
The flood stands high at the doors
Of the houses you've made
Would you come alive everybody?
Would you come alive everyone?
Get up out of bed for the
Sound of the song unsung
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Lift up your head, oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son, ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
