Formed, in ancient Rome, violent, age of steel

Man's, brutality, found new depths of pleasure

Slaves, captured in raging battles, forced, to fight, till the death

Senseless, brutal show of strength, immoral side of man

Fight, for your life, Fight, till the death!

Vile, sadistic games, elate, heartless souls

Roman, way of life, savour, a human sacrifice

Prisoners, could die by the sword, or live their lives in shame

Treacherous, murderous, thieves, helpless feast for the lions

Fight, for your life, Fight, till the death!

Refusal, to worship, the Gods, of the Roman State

Civil, disobedience, quickly, ends your life

Dying on display before thousands, their death will please tonight

Latin, spectacle of violence, Rome's malevolent society

They stand, alone, in the ring, with sword, in hand

Preparing, to fight for their lives, to fight till the death, to die for

Rome's pleasure

With blood, on their hands, a friend, lies bleeding before God

Impaled, sword plunged through their chest, hacked and mangled

Dragged through the death gates to hell!

Warriors on parade engaged in vicious Roman games

Fascinate imperial sovereignty

Entertainment for their sick and twisted vile pleasure

Two hundred years before Christ had walked this earth

Rome displaying it's violent nature

Falling as a civilization

Never to return again
