Flotsam And Jetsam - I Live You Die lyrics

Your rating:


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 end free men and wild blood thirsty beasts.

The red sand surrounds me, so they can't see them bleed.



[chorus:] 

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 men.

Thumbs down in drunken haste, life's taker and giver I am.



[repeat chorus]



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!
