Suspense was killing me
Mortal fear is running through my veins
Time to take the arms
Behind the gates
Here I had to fight
Listened to the deadly battle cries
I’m ready for the fray or my grave
Suddenly — they slam the gate
Blinded by — the daylight glare
Opened my eyes — a hall of arrows
Killed brave brothers
Gladiator — fighting in fury
The devil wants his share — wants my soul
Gladiator — fighting in glory
The arena is my home, my life, my hell
Who are my enemies
Cover me before their next assault
When just a day of grace can save me
Hope for my final deed
May I still survive — hard to believe
When just a day of grace can save me
