Get In The Ring

(album: The Great Heathen Army - 2022)

You smile at me through lying teeth
Then you talk behind my back
You think I'm blind, that I don't see
The mask you wear begins to crack

Your words bore me to death
You're a wasp without a sting
When you're done wasting breath
You can find me in the ring

Bring it on
If you dare
Will you run
Are you scared

I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
Get in the ring, make your stand

The coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife
But old age leaves him not in peace
Though the spears may spare his life

The fool thinks that he knows it all
While he sits in sheltered nest
Lost for words when reality calls
As he's put to the test

Your slander shows your inner fear
Hiding behind words of spite
But the Heathen law is clear
I challenge you to a fight

Choose blade, sword or axe
It doesn't matter what you bring
When the sun begins to wax
Come find me in the ring

Bring it on
Nowhere to hide
Time to face
Your demise

I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
You'll die by my hand

You're a dog without a bite
And your taunts are uninspired
It's better that you stand and fight
'Cause if you run you'll only die tired
