The Proving Grounds Songtext
von Mars Red Sky

Tidal waves of wounded egos crashed in unison
Spreading coast to coast, now the season has begun
Cross the check board at attention, sentinels await
Round the clock, they watch the flock, the ex-con fillet
Counseled how it is killed and trained to sell salt to the sea
The drowning experts drag you down there for a decent fee

We′ll prove you wrong and carry on
We'll carry on, you′re going down now
We'll prove you wrong and carry on
On proving grounds you're going down


Shouting photos to the past as powers on the wane
We take up the task eternal, our vengeance on parade
Open cut through empty trail of anger and abuse
In its wake the unit join the ranks of the accused

We′ll prove you wrong and carry on
We′ll carry on, you're going down now
We′ll prove you wrong and carry on
On proving grounds you're going down

Tidal waves of wounded egos crashed in unison
Spreading coast to coast, now the season has begun
Cross the check board at attention, sentinels await
Round the clock, they watch the flock, the ex-con fillet
Counseled how it is killed and trained to sell salt to the sea
The drowning experts drag you down there for a decent fee


Shouting photos to the past as powers on the wane
We take up the task eternal, our vengeance on parade
Open cut through empty trail of anger and abuse
In its wake the unit join the ranks of the accused
