Lyrics:
Crazy Rome was cursed by the gods
City of cripples and widows.
People breathe in the toxic smoke here
Cut their veins open with blades.
Here on holidays they go and watch
People suffer and writhe in agony
Ruthless death has its feast
In the yellow circle of the arena.
Power and strength bring you freedom
Win and you'll become a star,
Or maybe
This will be your last hour.
Your rival's down
Lying in dust
Cornered prey
Injured slave
Just one more second and you'll get the sign (Kill!)
Thumb of the emperor
Do not resist
The holy fate!
Craving for blood
The crowd goes insane
It is not worth the sorrow
Of friends and wives —
The gladiator's life
Colosseum
Like two dogs that fight for a bone
The condemned tear each other's flesh apart.
There's no anger or gamble in their eyes
There is nothing but pain.
You're the only one still standing tall
God's been saving you from the deadly blows
See Caesar come down on the sand
To grant you the freedom you've gained
Power and strength bring you freedom
Win and you'll become a star,
Or maybe
This will be your last hour.
Your rival's down
Lying in dust
Cornered prey
Injured slave
Just one more second and you'll get the sign (Kill!)
Thumb of the emperor
Do not resist
The holy fate!
Craving for blood
The crowd goes insane
It is not worth the sorrow
Of friends and wives —
The gladiator's life
Colosseum
Remember
Do you remember
Being a leader, wise and proud
Remember
Do you remember
When the soldiers entered your house
Your days dawned
Among the scorched rocks
Time went by and now
It is revenge o'clock
Bread and circuses for people
Always there!
Power and strength bring you freedom
Go ahead!
Your rival's down
Lying in dust
Cornered prey,
Injured slave
The gladiator's sword struck out sparks
Out of the grey rocks
Do not resist
The holy fate!
Craving for blood
The crowd goes insane
It is not worth the sorrow
Of friends and wives —
The emperor's life
Colosseum
