I Live You Die

歌詞

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 and freemen 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 man. 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!
