The Proving Grounds

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
