Bare-Knuckle Boxing

The gloves are off.
My hands are tied.
This is the place.
They’ll say you died.

Vicious in red.
The bell will toll.
You’re on the ropes.
Meet my death roll.

Fingers like serpents.
Hands like cannon balls.
You weren’t prepared to take it all.

Bare-knuckle boxing and there’s blood in the ring.
The sharks are circling and the grim reaper sings.
Bare-knuckle boxing kicks off brutality.
Homicide, kill the light, fatality.

The power of a fist.
Takes what you had.
When you make a fist.
Fuck off with pads.

The knuckles must gouge.
The fingers must bite.
The muscles must pound.
This is a real fight.

Eyes shine like silver.
A grizzled mess, you crawl.
You weren’t prepared to take it all.

Bare-knuckle boxing and there’s blood in the ring.
The sharks are circling and the grim reaper sings.
Bare-knuckle boxing kicks off brutality.
Homicide, kill the light, fatality.

Fatality.

Fatality.

Fatality.

Finish him off!

Bare-knuckle boxing and there’s blood in the ring.
The sharks are circling and the grim reaper sings.
Bare-knuckle boxing kicks off brutality.
Homicide, kill the light, there’s nowhere to hide.

Bare-knuckle boxing and there’s blood in the ring.
The sharks are circling and the grim reaper sings.
Bare-knuckle boxing kicks off brutality.
Homicide, kill the light, fatality.

Fatality.

Fatality.

Fatality.

Fatality.
