lyrics

Among those who are about to die
I hear the calling echoing in my mind
Within stone walls but I still see the sky
Ave Imperator!

Blood floods drowning the sand
Tomorrow will remember

A thumb down upon defeat
Will set the chosen few
Who face the crown with no deceit
Only one goes through

Brought from a foreign land
To watch the Colosseum stand
Fighting to win my own life
Back to freedom through this strife

Victorious slave will soon come through
And win my freedom due
As the arena blood dries
Purpose shines upon my eyes

Born to be a slave
This life of chains I crave

Freedom, A gift to curse a life so meaningless
Addicted to the cheering and the thirst of blood
Treason, betrayed the source of my own beingness
Ave Imperator!

Blood floods drowning the sand
Tomorrow will remember

A thumb down upon defeat
Will set the chosen few
Who face the crown with no deceit
Only one goes through

Brought from a foreign land
To watch the Colosseum stand
Fighting to win my own life
Back to freedom through this strife

Victorious slave will soon come through
And win my freedom due
As the arena blood dries
Purpose shines upon my eyes

Born to be a slave
This life of chains I crave

Behold as I here stand
For my curtain call
Shall freedom lie in death
As in life is just a fraud

I die by the sword
Before the eyes of the lord
The blade can take my breath now

Blood floods drowning the sand
Tomorrow will remember

A thumb down upon defeat
Will set the chosen few
Who face the crown with no deceit
Only one goes through

Brought from a foreign land
To watch the Colosseum stand
Fighting to win my own life
Back to freedom through this strife

Victorious slave will soon come through
And win my freedom due
As the arena blood dries
Purpose shines upon my eyes

Brought from a foreign land
To watch the Colosseum stand
Fighting to win my own life
Back to freedom through this strife

Victorious slave will soon come through
And win my freedom due
As the arena blood dries
Purpose shines upon my eyes
