Reckoner
You can't take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings
You can't take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
(In rainbows)
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings

Note: the lyrics are completely wrong on this site.
This song is clearly inspired by religious text. Reckoner, being the end of earth or judgement day.
Reckoner is not the words of god as many people here suggest. These words are that of a human being. Someone who is clearly in awe for the day of reckoning.
The day which will purge this earth of our 'bittersweet distractions.. dancing for pleasure'. Suggesting he/she has possibly grown restless, tired, or disapproving of the way mankind has become. He relishes the thought of God's dedication (dare not speak its name) to bring forth the day of reckoning for all human beings. And that day when light ends, it will break down and separate into its little pieces, like colours in a rainbow, that will herald a new day, on the shores of a blank/untouched/new place.
'Reckoner, take me with you' he/she sings..
