Roman Song
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
