4. The Reckoning (Don't Tread on Me) (4:56)
(Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
You went too far this time, for this heinous crime
You will know defeat, begging on your knees
One by one you'll fall, your back against the wall
Nowhere to turn, you're sure to burn
(Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand
Justice shall be done, nowhere to run
True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool
The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
Born of destruction, bred in agony
Is this my salvation?
From these ashes of your devastation!
If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say
With a hammer we will take, Lady Justice is asleep
The Judgment has been made, in blood it shall be paid
Death knows what to do, the horseman comes for you.
(Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
(Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
You went too far this time, for this heinous crime
You will know defeat, begging on your knees
One by one you'll fall, your back against the wall
Nowhere to turn, you're sure to burn
(Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, don't tread on me)
The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand
Justice shall be done, nowhere to run
True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool
The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies
(Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning)
(This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me)
Born of destruction, bred in agony
Is this my salvation?
From these ashes of your devastation!
If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say
