[00:00.00]The Reckoning - Steve Tilston
[00:11.91]Here's to all the grand children
[00:14.99]Yet to be born great grand children
[00:18.33]All your sons and daughters
[00:19.66]And your own grand children too
[00:25.58]I offer you my hand
[00:28.43]Out across the age's span
[00:30.57]A misbegotten plan
[00:33.09]To leave the reckoning to you
[00:40.12]I must apologise
[00:43.28]If it's written in the troubled skies
[00:46.65]We've been peddling lies
[00:48.49]Somehow forgotten what is true
[00:53.68]Though it's buried deep
[00:56.29]Poison never sleeps
[00:59.54]Through the ages seeps
[01:00.86]To leave a reckoning for you
[01:07.96]We hang on to misguided dreams
[01:11.25]Sleepwalk to the brink
[01:14.23]Hey ho rue the day
[01:17.08]We're going down in drink
[01:52.84]I have planted seed
[01:54.94]In vain to raise an apple tree
[01:58.43]To entice the bees
[02:00.42]To sip the blossom on the bough
[02:05.31]But the bees don't toil
[02:07.61]Around the tree a serpent coils
[02:10.90]Spits venom in the soil
[02:13.03]And leaves the reckoning to you
[02:19.95]We hang on to misguided dreams
[02:22.83]Sleepwalk to the brink
[02:25.70]Hey ho rue the day
[02:28.52]We're going down in drink
[02:35.67]Here's to all the grand children
[02:38.25]Yet to be born great grand children
[02:41.50]All your sons and daughters
[02:43.25]And your own grand children too
[02:48.14]I raise to you a toast
[02:50.10]Should trouble come to roost
[02:53.43]For we ate the golden goose
[02:55.82]And left the reckoning to you the reckoning to you
[03:02.85]The reckoning to you the reckoning to you
