Flotsam & Jetsam - I Live You Die

Текст песни

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!
