Lyrics
The Proving Grounds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tidal waves of wounded egos
Crashed in unison
Spreading coast to coast
Now the season has begun
Across the checkboard at attention
Sentinels await
Round the clock they watch the flock
The ex-confederates
Counsel highly skilled and trained
To sell salt to the sea
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
Shutting portals to our past
His powers on the wane
We take up the task eternal
Our vision sovereign
Old bent copper left a trail
Of anger and abuse
In his wake the unit joined
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
