White Gauze and Medical Tape Handwraps

[Intro] [Medical Tape Tear Foley & Knuckle Clench Sound] Tear, wrap... fifty yards of sterile gauze on the bone A protective armor to call our own! [Verse 1] [Rhodes Mark I and Muted Guitars] Locker room quiet before the arena roar Sitting on the wooden bench beside the door Trainer wrapping gauze between each knuckle neat Where the protection and the power meet Medical adhesive tape pressed smooth and tight Ready for forty-eight minutes of fight Clenching my wrapped fist into a solid stone The greatest weapon that was ever known [Pre-Chorus] [Muted Trumpet and Snare Snap] State inspector signs his initials on the tape Giving our fighting intention shape [Chorus] [Ritualistic Protective Handwrap Drop] Wrapping fifty yards of white gauze and tape around the hands Preparing our courage for the sporting lands In the dressing room of the title fight Before walking out into the floodlight bright Wrap tight, clench firm, feel the armor hold The greatest pre-fight story to be told [Verse 2] [Guitar Chops and Bassline] I slip my wrapped hands into the red gloves deep A sacred promise that my heart will keep The laces pulled tight and taped around the wrist Ready to deliver with my clenched fist [Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony and Trumpet Solo] Let the handwraps protect the warrior's hand Standing tall across the sporting land Gauze, tape, gloves and loving grace Inside this sacred, open fighting space [Chorus] [Ritualistic Protective Handwrap Drop] Wrapping fifty yards of white gauze and tape around the hands Preparing our courage for the sporting lands In the dressing room of the title fight Before walking out into the floodlight bright Wrap tight, clench firm, feel the armor hold The greatest pre-fight story to be told [Outro] [Tape Tear & Glove Leather Thud] Handwraps complete... Gloves on! [Fade Out] [End]
