The Reckoning - 2003

Close your eyes and imagine 
 the soldier at Valley Forge 
 The suffering that he endured was real 
 starvation, total war. 
 Yet in has eyes the iron will to win 
 and for the cause, he won't relent 

 [bad word]  
 Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust 
 His politics a birthright and our creed
 Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise 
 [bad word]  we're blinded by our greed 

 Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands 
 his musket clutched, an iron grip 
 and for the cause, he has but one regret, 
 he's only got one life to give 

 [bad word]  
 Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust 
 His politics a birthright and our creed
 Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise 
 [bad word]  we're blinded by our greed 

 It's time for us, to open up our eyes, 
 and cherish the lives we all can have 
 and to the ones who kept our freedom free 
 words can't express all that you've done 

 [bad word]  
 Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust 
 His politics a birthright and our creed
 Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise 
 [bad word]  we're blinded by our greed
