07 This Is Not The End

 

I hear my name, I hear the crowd

Blood in my face, I scream out loud

The Murmillo stands in my way

Someday I'll die, but not today

 

True to form, it's like a dance

A big mistake, I see my chance

He swings his sword, but all to late

My blade strikes flesh, he took the bate

 

I turn around, look up at Him

His thumb points down

I do as told, such are the rules that I uphold

 

In my sleep I dream of peace

But then it turns, I'm on my knees

The dream is red, but there's no fear

I know I'll die, but I don't care

 

I close my eyes and catch my breath

He has me beat and brings me death

He swings his sword, I start to shake

I feel the pain, and then awake

 

I wish it was not just a dream, eternal rest

But still I fight like in a trance, I am the best

Why! Still wonder whyI cannot let myself die

I still crave the win

The need to feel the rush runs deep within

 

As I await I contemplate a life of pain

Is this all I get, this blood and sweat

To kill in vain

I hear my name, I hear the crowd

 

Blood in my face I scream out loud

The Murmillo stands in my way

Someday I'll die, might be today

Something is wrong, I lose this dance

A big mistake, now is his chance

 

A flash of light, I lie in dirt, I lost the fight

He does as told, those are the rules that we uphold
