I live you die

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!
