Crowd obsessed with blood and gore Satisfied by the bloody spectacle Witness the public funeral In the ancient arena of death Beast to men, men to men, beast to beast For the praise of the Vestal Virgins Prisoners fight each other to death Kill them, flog them, burn them! Victims soiled with blood to lure the wild animals Condemned to face a starved wild beast For their Lord Jesus Christ they die between the jaws of the lion When the wounded gladiator eats sand Demons from the underworld come to assure his death Hitting him with hammers, and burning him with hot iron Dragged out of the arena with the glorious playing of trumpets The mutilated body passed away to the Libitinarian Gate Pass away in splendour Steer away with Charon Ave imperato morituri te salutant! To face the goddess Libitina Hail emperor, men soon to die salute thee! Gladiators in chariots dressed in purple Obsessed with gore and slaughter Victims soiled with blood to lure the wild animals Condemned to face a starved wild beast For their Lord Jesus Christ they die between the jaws of the lion SongtexteRomans obsessed with bloody battles and death Pontifex Maximus Caligula enjoys the sacrifice of blood When the wounded gladiator eats sand Demons from the underworld come to assure his death Gladiators in chariots dressed in purple Obsessed with gore and slaughter Ave imperato morituri te salutant!
