[Verse]
I hear the drums in my head they pound and scream
This ain't no nightmare this ain't no dream
Blades in my shadow blood in my eyes
If I fall here they’ll cheer my demise
Chains on my wrists but my spirit won't bow
Sweat on the sand and I'm asking how
How can they laugh while the world’s on fire
They’re vultures circling my funeral pyre
[Chorus]
Gladiator fighting for the light
In the dark where the devils bite
If I go down if I fall tonight
I’ll rise in the chaos I’ll burn so bright
Gladiator this is my stage
Bars of iron a twisted cage
If I lose it all if I feel that rage
Let the world collapse in my final page
[Verse 2]
The crowd is roaring my heart’s on the line
The blade cuts deep but the rage is mine
Their faces blur just ghosts in the mist
I swing like thunder with a clenched fist
War in my veins my blood runs red
Every strike feels like words unsaid
I’m no hero but I’ll make them see
You can’t laugh at a storm like me
