Crowd obsessed with blood and gore

Satisfied by the bloody spectacle

Witness the public funeral

In the ancient arena of death

Beast to men, men to men, beast to beast

For the praise of the Vestal Virgins

Prisoners fight each other to death

Kill them, flog them, burn them!

Victims soiled with blood to lure the wild animals

Condemned to face a starved wild beast

For their Lord Jesus Christ they die between the jaws of the lion

When the wounded gladiator eats sand

Demons from the underworld come to assure his death

Hitting him with hammers, and burning him with hot iron

Dragged out of the arena with the glorious playing of trumpets

The mutilated body passed away to the Libitinarian Gate

Pass away in splendour

Steer away with Charon

Ave imperato morituri te salutant!

To face the goddess Libitina

Hail emperor, men soon to die salute thee!

Gladiators in chariots dressed in purple

Obsessed with gore and slaughter

Victims soiled with blood to lure the wild animals

Condemned to face a starved wild beast

For their Lord Jesus Christ they die between the jaws of the lion

Romans obsessed with bloody battles and death

Pontifex Maximus Caligula enjoys the sacrifice of blood

When the wounded gladiator eats sand

Demons from the underworld come to assure his death

Gladiators in chariots dressed in purple

Obsessed with gore and slaughter

Ave imperato morituri te salutant!

Hail motherfucker, men soon to die salute thee!
