Godhead – The Reckoning Lyrics 5 years ago
This is an anti-religious anthem. The song is told from two perspectives. The first is god:

Come to me
Kill for me
Worship me
Follow everything I do
As you bow before me
I'm the one they told you
Would come again
Let me show you all the signs
To bring about the end

The second is a rebutle by the narrator. He threatens the creator with bringing him down to the level of his creations and forcing him to experience the existence they are forced to live everyday:

I'll take you down
To a hole where you
Will always be alone
I'll turn you out
On a world that doesn't
Care if you belong

I'll push you off
Of the throne that
You erected for yourself
You will be tossed
On a pile of all the
Filth that you created

The third verse is the creator mocking the narrator's failures and offering "protection" if he would only bow down:

I watched you take the power
In your hands and
Throw it all away
I knew you would
Fall down again someday

Come on now
You know I won't hurt you
Come on now
I'm here to protect you
Come on now I'll
Lead you to shelter
Come on now you know

The narrator rejects this defiantly with a repeat of the threat of the chorus.
