throw down the gauntlet

Wakeup call! Throw down the gauntlet, I just have to take Everything I believed in back

Damned if you do - and damned if you don't Throw down the gauntlet - and stay in your home

I'm sick from the venom you spit in my eyes No I won't throw down the gauntlet cause I've got no hope Wine I'm drinking from your fountain I'm soaking in nothing

And so, smile Come on, throw down the gauntlet Love doesn't create a love that's greater than love

Never face the fact that you Throw down the gauntlet to me Your persuasion I don't care

That I have no feeling and I'm cruel, and that for words of the bitter ones, I throw down the gauntlet, it might be true, and it is of solace,

And now as I start afresh, I am not only halfway committed My heart is eager to set off, childlike all through Halfway through my epic I throw down the gauntlet Before the white page of my life
