lyrics

When Your Back Is To The Wall.
Lyrics and melody by Cat Faber 2019

When the foe is getting stronger
When the danger’s getting real
You can’t dodge it any longer
And the time has come to deal
Will you fight to keep your freedom
Will you falter, will you fall?
You will find out what you’re made of
When your back is to the wall.

All your guardians are falling
To the propaganda war
Though protection is their calling
They can’t help you anymore.
Will you stand for right and justice
Will you stumble, will you stall?
You will find out what you’re made of
When your back is to the wall

You’re the soul whom strife has beckoned
Though you vowed to pass it by
You’re the girl of whom they reckoned
“She would never hurt a fly”
Can you knock a man unconscious
Steal a car, or start a brawl?
You will find out what you’re made of
When your back is to the wall.

One last choice in all its starkness
And you didn’t choose to yeild
Now you’re bombing through the darkness
As the tyres swerve and squeal
There is much to be afraid of—
But it’s time to make the call;
You will find out what you’re made of
When your back is to the wall.
We will find out what you're made of
When your back is to the wall.
