The Gauntlet

Well I just got back from a break in the fight

I was weighing in heavy but still feeling alright

all I hear in the distance - mines and shells

here come the sirens wailing another attack to be repelled

Do you think we're gonna make it?

I don't know unless we try

you could sit here scared to move

or we could take them by surprise

it's submission that they want

it's surrender that they need

when we're doing it their way

their aims will be achieved

They're gonna come when you're not ready

when you're not too well-prepared

they're gonna prey upon your weakness

no man's soul is ever spared

you've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them

show them what it's all about

this man is not for sale

there will be no backing down.

Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you

We shall succeed,

Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you

They won't get me, they won't get me

though they never cease to try

they won't get me, they won't get me

I would rather fight and die

they won't get me, they won't get me

well my friend will they get you?

when they get you, when they get you

tell me what you're gonna do?

Do you think we're gonna make it?

I don't know unless we try

you could sit here scared to move

or we could take them by surprise

it's submission that they want

it's surrender that they need

when we're doing it their way

their aims will be achieved.

They're gonna come when you're not ready

when you're not too well-prepared

they're gonna prey upon your weakness

no man's soul is ever spared

you've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them

show them what it's all about

this man is not for sale

there will be no backing down.

Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you

We shall succeed

Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you
