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
