The Gauntlet

Dropkick Murphys
Sing Loud, Sing Proud!
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 were gonna make it?
I dont know unless we try
you could sit here scared to move or we could take them by surprise
its submission that they want
its surrender that they need
when were doing it their way their aims will be achieved
Theyre gonna come when youre not ready
when youre not to well- prepared
theyre gonna prey upon your weakness no mans soul is ever spared
youve got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
show them what its all about this man is not for sale there will be no backing down
Chorus:
Stand up and fight and Ill stand up with you!
We shall succeed
They wont get me they wont get me
thought they never cease to try
they wont get me they wont get me
I would rather fight and die
they wont get me they wont get me
well my friend will they get you?
when they get you when they get
you tell me what are you gonna do?
