Damnatio ad Bestias

The screams for blood echo through the town
Aggression and brutality is the emperor's crown
In the arena all cheer for death
Eager mob awaits the fighter's last breath

Pack of hungry lions will now strike
Beasts ripping flesh from all alike

Damnatio Ad Bestias
You will die
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Better not cry
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Carnivores roar
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Corpses on the floor

Slaves, Christians, criminals caged before the fight
Heart pounding now they have certain death in sight
Thrown into field, the masses cry for more
Last thing they see is the lion's roar

Pack of hungry lions will now strike
Beasts ripping flesh from all alike

Damnatio Ad Bestias
You will die
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Better not cry
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Carnivores roar
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Corpses on the floor

Damnatio Ad Bestias
You will die
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Better not cry
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Carnivores roar
Damnatio Ad Bestias
Corpses on the floor
