Respect the Blade
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 assed 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
Respeta la Cuchilla
Traté de prepararme para el impacto
Pero la preparación fue casi inútil
Casi tan inútil como mis esfuerzos anteriores
No puedo guardar esto adentro
Si vas a presumir, no lo hagas sobre mí
Deseas tener tus manos en esto
Pero la verdad es la verdad, eso es todo
Y al principio
No notábamos la forma en que nos hablabas a todos
Al revés
Forzados a caminar sobre una cuerda
Con la esperanza de no caer
Y seleccionaste a un grupo joven del corazón de las colinas
Con la promesa de colgar el mundo
Frente a su rostro, su rostro, su rostro...
¿Y si te dejamos atrás?
Las tornas cambiaron, esta vez no yo
Si fueras la mitad de duro que pensaba que eras
Te quedarías ahí como un hombre
Y al principio
No notábamos la forma en que nos hablabas a todos
Al revés
Forzados a caminar sobre una cuerda
Con la esperanza de no caer
La expresión en tu rostro
Una sonrisa que nunca ocupó su lugar
Está ausente como yo (x4)
Te lo daremos (x12)
¿Y si te dejamos atrás?
Las tornas cambiaron, esta vez no yo
Si fueras la mitad de duro
Medio duro como pensaba que eras
No puedo guardar esto adentro
Si vas a presumir, no lo hagas sobre mí
Deseas tener tus manos en esto
Pero la verdad es la verdad, eso es todo
