Respect the Blade Lyrics

I tried to brace myself for impact
But the preparation was nearly useless
Almost as useless as my earlier efforts
I can�t keep this inside
If you�re gonna brag, don�t brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that�s all

And at first
We weren�t noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won�t fall

And you plucked a young group from the heart of the hills
With the promise of the world to dangle
In front of her face, his face, her face�
What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough as I thought you were
You�d stand there like a man

And at first
We weren�t noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won�t fall
The look on your face
A smile that never took it�s place
It�s absent like me (x4)

We�ll give it to you (x12)

What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough
Half a**ed tough as I thought you were
I can�t hold this inside
If you�re gonna brag, don�t brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that�s all
