In a Dark Place, tis my Day of Reckoning

In a dark and dangerous place now,

Tis my day of reckoning.

Or so it seems to me today,

as i stand here at this crossroads

I must figure out what path

My life is to take,

Each path has its risks and dangers

My only hope out

Is to choose the one

With the lesser evil.

A great deal rests upon this decision

To choose which path i take

For tis can my life make

Advice and suggestions fly all around me

Yet i must take this step alone

For tis my life, and no one else's

And whatever evil befalls me on this path

Befalls me and me alone.

All that i know and loved

Lies around me on the brink of collapse

And it seems inevitable

That no matter what path i take

Something must be destroyed

And it seems to me to be

A case of, "Yer money or Yer life"

I need to be sure of what i need

To do in order to be safe.

Yet i must be sure of my choice

For no matter what path i take

There can be no turning back

I must choose carefully and choose it well

For, In this Dark Place, tis my Day of Reckoning
