Interitus Dei - When The Metal Meets The Flesh lyrics

When I come down, in the arena, I know I fulfill a sacred act. The bravery of fighting the beasts Turns my d**h into a feast. Gladiators spill the blood For the glory of their God. For the last time we see the sky, We, who are about to die... When the metal meets the flesh, I defy d**h! With my shield, or on my shield, I'll finally meet the Elysian Field In d**h... The only fear that I know Is to lay down dead by the end of the show, But if it happens, I'll keep my breath, 'Cause "Pollice verso" means my d**h. Any moment could be the last, There is no future, there is no past. My fading breath is all that I feel, The end is near, the end is real.
