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
