Flotsam and Jetsam - I Live You Die (Metal Shock demo) lyrics

Your life pa**es 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 pa**es 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 d**h 100 days, corpses of 2000 men The ma**es 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 k**s, those that I have slain Are keeping my heart pounding, I live another day Your live pa**es you by (I live you die) The Reaper is near Again the arena is mine (I live you die) I live again Your live pa**es 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!
