The Gauntlet Lyrics - Sing Loud, Sing Proud - 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!
