Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Tom Average	#1 by Tom at Oct 4, 1971 at 4:10 PM EST
	Perhaps, it's about Dresden bombing at 1945? Thousand of german civilians was killed there. Or even about Hiroshima bombing. Both are like the revenge for nazis' war crimes - 'Revenge is not Justice'. Not any part of this album is concerned with contemporary actions, it's historical concept album.

No Picture Bob Wanna Be	#2 by Bob at Nov 15, 1973 at 3:42 PM EST
	seriously ppl is that really what it's about? I mean the lyrics can sound like it, but how come there a drawing of at old cowboy holding two guns for this track? As with all other tracks there's a drawing of what it's about. Like with When The Eagles Cry, there's a picture os an Eagle with the WTC's in the background, but nothing ressembles that, in The Reckoning. I Think you're all wrong, but I don't think it's about revenge for 9/11. But just some story.

No Picture Toxic Wanna Be	#3 by Toxic Tension at Feb 3, 1975 at 9:21 AM EST
	When the Eagle Cries = Holy shit we've been attacked The Reckoning = Were gonna kick your ass for what you did on September 11th.

No Picture Mike Average	#4 by Mike M at Jun 14, 1977 at 5:14 AM EST
	I'm also pretty sure that it is not about 9/11. EVERY picture was fitting, now why should the put a gunfighter to a song about terrorism? Maybe it's about a event in the "Wild West"

No Picture Blades Average	#5 by Blades at Nov 18, 1988 at 5:43 PM EST
	iced earth is bad ass

No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#6 by Alex TABASH! at Jul 29, 1989 at 7:31 AM EST
	i like pie

No Picture dan Average	#7 by dan evans at Jun 15, 1992 at 2:19 AM EST
	i totally agree with UnNatural Suicide. Note the part when it says, "This time is for blood, dont tread on me" this war against iraq and terrorism (can you define terrorism?) is just a lust for blood man, or should we say " Destiny's called us it's the reckoning This time it's for petroleum, Don't tread on me

No Picture Mark Average	#8 by Mark Murray at Nov 27, 1993 at 9:37 PM EST
	I believe this song is about the War In Iraq (War On Terror) The Glorious Burden wasn't Iced Earth's best album. But, it didn't completely suck as some of my friends would say. Long live metal.

No Picture eddy Lead Player	#9 by eddy blade at Feb 3, 1996 at 11:09 AM EST
	its called, it might change later on but the first time is called this song is insane, its just whoa

No Picture Len Badass	#10 by Len cullum at Apr 3, 1997 at 1:55 AM EST
	on an additional note if you have no clue what im talking about check out this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyatt_Earp#Cowboy_revenge

No Picture James Rhythm Player	#11 by James T.H. at Oct 3, 1998 at 7:26 AM EST
	heh i cant help sniggering at your nick shadarlogoth, but then again i know where its from :) i do agree with you though, as far as i know when the eagle cries is their 9/11 song, and logically speaking the 9/11 theme makes little sense in this song. ive seen the movie and it does compute. another point, cant we all sign a petition or something to bring back barlow? please? ive got absolutely nothing against ripper owens, but his voice doesnt fit with iced earth, at all. it fitted with judas priest. its all good and well to try and serve your county, but YOUR FANS NEED YOU MAN MATT :( cough sorry bout that 1

No Picture AfroMan Average	#12 by AfroMan at Sep 16, 2000 at 5:26 AM EST
	our go rent the movie tombstone with kurt russel and watch that and i promise you will belive what i said.

No Picture Chris Average	#13 by Chris Dunn at Feb 10, 2002 at 1:02 AM EST
	And the lyrics go, "Destiny's spawned us" not destiny called us.

No Picture KT Average	#14 by KT Brown at Jun 30, 2006 at 7:49 PM EST
	All you are wrong I'm not putting you down but your wrong. if you notice ever song has a picture that fits the song and a gunslinger in the west dosent fit any of the meanings that where givin. The basis for this song is Wyatt Earp and his famous Vendetta ride where he killed the cowboys for killing his brother and wounding his other brother, and some of the lyric content was plundered from the movie tombstone in one scene in the movie val kilmer who plays doc holiday says this. "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after. It's a reckonin'. ". so their yah go the songs meaning.
