I Live You Die |
| Your life passes you by, I live, you die |
| The arena is mine, I live, you die |
| Entry of the gladiators, 264 B. C |
| The emperors and nobles have made a pawn of me |
| I battle slaves and freemen and wild blood thirsty beasts |
| The red sand surrounds me, so they can’t see them bleed |
| Your life passes you by (I live you die) |
| The Reaper is near |
| Again the arena is mine (I live you die) |
| I live you die |
| Sword drawn and battle ready, Trajan in command |
| Fight 'till death 100 days, corpses of 2000 men |
| The masses they decide the fate of a fallen man |
| Thumbs down in drunken haste, life’s taker and giver I am |
| Innocent children dressed like the sacred lamb |
| Taken for Nero’s slaughter, as the people look away |
| To the pit dogs they are prey, the people look away… they look away… |
| I live, you die! |
| Persecuted Christians in the blood soaked ring |
| Many over many lose their lives, peace to their soul it brings |
| The thrills from the kills, those that I have slain |
| Are keeping my heart pounding, I live another day |
| Your live passes you by (I live you die) |
| The Reaper is near |
| Again the arena is mine (I live you die) |
| I live again |
| Your live passes you by (I live you die) |
| The Reaper is near |
| Again the arena is mine (I live you die) |
| I live you die |
| Die! |
| Die! |
| Die! |
