Behold the Coliseum
And the hear my depiction
Spectacles of death will steal your breath
Hear the lion roar
Let the games begin
Find your place within these walls
Mass Crucifixions
Beast Hunts
Battles to the death
Welcome to Rome
Creator, spectator, or a fierce gladiator
The amphitheater
Will expose your true nature
Today I’ll die a slave in a nameless grave
Or conquer the day
They’ll all scream my name
With freedom as my reword I’ll join the hoard
And defeat the crown I once adored
With sword and shield I’ll never yield
And now I’ve become Barbarian
Bow down and cheer your emperor’s here
The closest thing to a god on this earth
I’ll judge and decide who lives and who dies
Behold the Coliseum
And the hear my depiction
Spectacles of death will steal your breath
Hear the lion roar
Let the games begin
Find your place within these walls
Mass Crucifixions
Beast Hunts
Battles to the death
Welcome to Rome
Creator, spectator, or a fierce gladiator
The amphitheater
Will expose your true nature
Today I’ll die a slave in a nameless grave
Or conquer the day
They’ll all scream my name
With freedom as my reword I’ll join the hoard
And defeat the crown I once adored
With sword and shield I’ll never yield
And now I’ve become Barbarian
Bow down and cheer your emperor’s here
The closest thing to a god on this earth
I’ll judge and decide who lives and who dies
So fight for your freedom in my coliseum
Fight or die!
Your life is on the line
Fight or die!
I’ll give the sign
Fight or die!
It’s time that you are purified
Fight or die!
The gods you now will glorify
Fight or die!
They’ve come to see this sacrifice
Fight or die!
We’ll see if it’s your time to die
Could this be his destiny?
To die today for us to see
Or will he fulfill the prophecy
And this treachery
For freedom, for glory
His victory the story
Of free men, of glory
Make history
Creator, spectator, or a fierce gladiator
The amphitheater
Will expose your true nature
Could this be his destiny?
To die today for us to see
Or will he fulfill the prophecy
And this treachery
Set his people free
Defeat the powers that be
And will you
Live.
