Melicus Gladiator

Ride out the storm at the gates of dawn
Sing through the tempest til' the music's gone
Legion the enemies to trample down
Warriors of legend and of great reknown

In the arena with an audience of thousands
Clad in the armor of an army yet unseen
Raging a battle in the emptiness of night
with all your might (til' it's done)

There's no returning to a life of ease
Life in a world that brings you to your knees
Wielding the weapon with a mighty hand
Draped in the banner of another land

Swords wrought with words of steel
More than a man can feel
Not alone the flesh and bone are matched against a foe
Rising turning falling burning to the Earth below

Sound out a warning in the fog of war
Soon to discover what it's all been for
Lift up the anthem of the heart that's free...
