The Gauntlet - 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

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

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!
