I Live You Die

Lyrics

[Intro] Your life passes you by I live, you die The arena's mine I live, you die [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Sword drawn and battle ready, Trojan in command Fight 'till death one hundred days, corpses of two thousand men The masses, they decide the fate of a fallen man Thumbs down in drunken haste, life's taker and giver I am [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 [Bridge 1] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 2] I live, you die [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [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, again 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 [Outro] Die Die Die
