The Gauntlet Songtext
von Dropkick Murphys

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
Well, it′s submission that they want
It's surrender that they need
And 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 are you 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

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
