En garde Lyrics

Back straight and chin up

Bend your knees to ground yourself

Flick your blade, ready

En garde, en garde

Heart pounding, sunken chest

Mouth drying, timer set

Back up, arm out

Don't fall, step forward

And watch yourself

Speak deliberately

Uproot corrupted data chips

And memories like holes in cheese

Can't compete in bouts to beat

So double check your facts to me

Lock twin eyes, ready

En garde, en garde

Bounce to your own rhythm

Don't let yourself be thrown off

Reactions quick, your mind's wit

Don't overstep to find a blade in your chest

Don't be afraid

To concede some ground

Never lose yourself in the fight

Logic, understanding

Lost to fragile masculinity

A shallow sense of

Jingoism, religion

Don't let yourself slip away

Born like this, to fight like this

The strong survive, over the weak's demise

You pick the place, you pick the time

Only to find, it's our DNA

Pick up the crown

Dig into the ground

And tear it all

Apart, apart
