Sword to sword
Dripping with blood and sweat
Only the best move forward
Win or lose there is no fear
They stood their ground
No hate for foe just business...

Their lives meant nothing
The spectators were the true Sociopaths
The product of powerful kings
They dictated who breathed another day
They dictated who was at their end
Mortally wounded--they died a sharp death

The famous forgotten
Destined to be slaves
One coin of riches hardly ever spent
A scam, false hope, to fight out a debt
To live the rest of their days battered

Their fame is only appreciated now
A thousand-plus years later
Finally the legends mean something...

Loved by those who read their stories
The warrior who stood strong
The real kings...

To be a GLADIATOR...
