Panem et Circenses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Awake, O' serpent of my heart
It is time (It is time)
The sun stands high
And unfaithful crowds await thee
Redemption in their eyes
And stone at hand
The arena hungers for your venom
[Bridge]
Hey!
Let the games begin
[Verse 2]
Bring in the lions, bring in the beasts
It is time to confront the masses with their fears
A sober moment, a shred of truth
To gaze into an honest mirror
A disturbance of their sleep
[Verse 3]
Violent teeth and claws
Untamed and fierce
Reaches far and cut deep
Into the empty eye
It is time to let the bitter venom flow
Trough this embodiment of emptiness
[Bridge]
And the blood shall run free like words
And the bones shall form stairs to the future
[Verse 4]
Now, unfaithful spectator
Are you satisfied?
Did you come close enough
To feel the lion's breath?
One day soon
Your shall be the sacrifice
A nameless grave (A nameless grave)
Of the past
[Outro]
Hey!
Protagonist
Your time is now
