I was told this in a distant land where tortured
|
Souls have to fight together in anguish
|
And the scenes of the show are of a cruel and violent nature
|
Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen
|
The arena, the town, the place was set for all to watch and see
|
|
I was told this in a distant land where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand
|
And a mission of saddened complacency left cold and emotionless by history
|
Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen
|
All the while I should have known it was you killing me
|
|
Somewhere is the leader, the designs will never change
|
Vented through other's fear the world stops at the end of the hall
|
We watch the lifeforce fade away
|
And that's the price we shall have to pay
|
