The Unforgiven – The Gauntlet Lyrics
Artist: The Unforgiven
Song: The Gauntlet
When i left daytona, i could not be dissuaded
I was headstrong and happy as i hit the road to see
When i left daytona, i was hungry and yearning
For the grit of the city, the likes of which i’d never seen
Joy of joys, when i hit it, i was not a stranger
I was taken in and told that i belonged
For a small contribution, had more friends than i could handle
But when what i had to say
Had all been spent away
I was suddenly, irrevocably alone
Now i’m runnin’ the gauntlet
Down the barrel of a shotgun
Runnin’ alone
Bash, bash, go the fists of the gauntlet
Shoot me out like buckshot
Runnin’ it home
When i fell from grace here, i was late in reacting
I thought; “these are my friends and they won’t let me down”
But when i saw them lined up, armed to the teeth and screaming
I kinda got the feeling they didn’t want me around
The nightmare that follows is hard to imagine
Full of runnin’ and screamin’ and coverin’ up my head
For each step i took another blow that shook me, dizzy and reelin’
But when the last one hit its mark
The gauntlet fell apart
And i was suddenly, undeniably free
Now i’m runnin’ the gauntlet
Down the barrel of a shotgun
Runnin’ alone
Bash, bash, go the fists of the gauntlet
Shoot me out like buckshot
Runnin’ it home
It’s a long way home…
Now i’m runnin’ the gauntlet
Down the barrel of a shotgun
Runnin’ alone
Bang, bang, go the fists of the gauntlet
Shoot me out like buckshot
Runnin’ it home
