Two sixty four B.C., blood thirsty age of steel  The atrocities of man, found new depths of pleasure  Slaves captured in raging battles, forced to fight to the death  Senseless brutal show of strength, the darkest side of man  Fight for your life...fight for your life  Lead: Terror  Sadistic games to amuse the minds of shallow souls  The Roman way of life, enjoying a human sacrifice  Prisoners could die by the sword or live a life of shame  Treasonists, murderers and thieves, sent face to face with the lions  Refusal to worship the Gods of the Roman State  Would certainly end your life  After Jerusalems defeat, Jews were forced to fight  Seventeen years and older found themselves in the ring  No compassion to be found for those puppets on a string  Fight: for you life  Pray: for you soul  Now: You must fight till the death  Now: fight for your next breath  Fight: for your freedom  Pray: for tomorrow  Now: supreme test of strength  Now: only the strong will survive  Parading through the Collisium, Warriors prepare to fight  Those about to die salute you, blood will flow tonight  One versus one, man against man, the instinct of survival  Victory held for one, the dead are spared their shame  Lead: Hallman  Courage gives away to the last moment  Fears subdued with whips and chains  Refer the plea to the people, beg for mercy is part of the game  Thumbs down signals eternal rest, dragged through the death gates  Defeated man finds lifeless peace but no remorse for his victim  Lead: Hallman
