Test Your Mettle Songtext
von The Killigans

Get up! But keep it down
We′ll try to slip out in the night
Don't take anything that you don′t need
We've got to travel light
It's finally here
They′ve finally come for us
And now it′s long past time to go

The path is hard, it strips you to the bone
We'll find out what′s inside
Will we see you're made of sterner stuff
Once you′re tested and tried
If your trappings mask a core of steel
It's time to let it show


In a world forever changed
The best laid plans make fools of men
And it′s too late now
What's passed can't be undone
All you can do is hope your strength returns
With the rise of another sun
If it′s escape or annihilation
Test your mettle it′s begun

It's almost funny how in the end
The strong have been made weak
That fiercely independent attitude
Now ground beneath the feet
Of the ones who you entrusted with
The safety of your kith and kin

You′ll do anything they tell you
Just to be part of the crowd
Christ you sold off your integrity
Wont dear old dad be proud
And now for 30 lousy pieces of silver
You take it on the chin


In a world forever changed
The best laid plans make fools of men
And it's too late now
What′s passed can't be undone
All you can do is hope your strength returns
With the rise of another sun
If it′s escape or annihilation
Test your mettle It's begun

Test your mettle It's begun
