Damnatio Ad Bestias

We would never steal
We would never hurt anyone
We would never murder

Yet we are prisoners
They now feed us well
But there is no reason for joy
It's not cause they like us
They need us for the show

People blame us for their misfortunes
They hate our guts
Water cannot quench their thirst
They want our blood

Persecuted with no cause
Our demise is getting close
We're sent to die in the lion's den
Executed torn apart
For the faith we pay with blood
Through death to life that will never end

Beasts can eat our flesh
But they cannot kill our souls
We will live forever
Behind the heaven doors

Through the sacrifice
We build the church of Christ
That the gates of hell
Shall never overcome

Along with the worst of criminals
This is our last sigh
Damnatio ad Bestias
That is how we die
