From the album "The SnakeDoctor Circus" (2019) Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/6IO6aORQK3jiYVT9UaHTor?si=11b95476bd614789 [Intro] | F Bbsus2 | C | | F Bbsus2 | C | C | [Verse 1]
         F                 Bbsus2             C
Well the fiery five points came from Queen of Babylon

       F                    Bbsus2            C
Rotten rapture and lines of lives that came undone

        F                    Bbsus2           C
And how cool wind blew their dreams away like paper cups

            F                     Bbsus2         C
Now they're bound and bearing the shadows of the gun

          F    Bbsus2    C
Let's sing
[Verse 2]
         F           Bbsus2         C
And the stranded señoritas fall and take a knee

        F                 Bbsus2          C
For the anthem, believe a dark and rising drum

          F               Bbsus2         C
While the cholos in their Chevrolets and mercy streets

        F                  Bbsus2          C
And the shiny wall for the bankers and the Bronx

          F                     Bbsus2      C
Then they line the halls of the prison it becomes
[Chorus]
    F        Bbsus2  C
But maybe we will be free

         F   Bbsus2   C
When the battle lines meet

F          Bbsus2  C
Maybe they will be one

         F   Bbsus2  C
When the counting is done

      F          Bbsus2  C
Yeah, maybe they will be free when the reckoning comes
[Instrumental] | F Bbsus2 | C | | F Bbsus2 | C | [Verse 3]
       F                     Bbsus2              C
So the choir boys hide their voices, bruised and out of tune

          F                Bbsus2         C
While the priestess of the harbor rides a wave

        F                     Bbsus2           C
And the bar girls drown their choices in their silver spoons

       F                   Bbsus2            C
With a junkman's nightmare crashing in their veins

        F                Bbsus2          C
And the rich ride silver horses to their waiting ships

          F                Bbsus2        C
While the poor cry out for justice and cocaine

         F                   Bbsus2           C
And they all bow down to the new crown of the apocalypse

       F                  Bbsus2              C
As he stabs the truth and slides out onto the stage

            F                  Bbsus2                C
Then as the footlocks melt the grease paint from his face

          F                Bbsus2          C
It's very hard to tell the master from his slaves
[Chorus]
    F        Bbsus2  C
But maybe we will be free

         F   Bbsus2   C
When the battle lines meet

F          Bbsus2  C
Maybe they will be one

         F   Bbsus2  C
When the counting is done

      F          Bbsus2  C                       F    Bbsus2    C
Yeah, maybe they will be free when the reckoning comes
[Post-Chorus]
                   F                Bbsus2              C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)

                   F                Bbsus2              C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)

                   F                Bbsus2              C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)
[Chorus]
F        Bbsus2  C
Maybe we will be free

         F   Bbsus2   C
When the battle lines meet

F          Bbsus2  C
Maybe they will be one

         F   Bbsus2  C
When the counting is done

F          Bbsus2   C
Maybe they will see peace

         F      Bbsus2  C
When the hearts are   released

F           Bbsus2     C
Maybe we'll reach true sun

         F    Bbsus2  C
When the gauntlet is  run

F          Bbsus2  C
Maybe they will be free

                   F    Bbsus2    C
When the reckoning comes
[Outro]
F  Bbsus2  C                   F    Bbsus2    C
            When the reckoning comes

F  Bbsus2  C                   F    Bbsus2    C
            When the reckoning comes
