Smile Back At Death - Blaze Bayley

Blessed father what is that the gods will for me Is it their will that I should do this duty alone

I am a slave and what difference can I possibly make

When all I do is what I must so I don’t die this day

Home

Let me go home

When death smiles at you

So the father said

There’s nothing left to do Smile back at the death

I will show them blood

They will chant my name

Time for the tyrant to fear

Gladiator protector

Father to a murdered son

Gladiator protector

I will see my vengeance done

In eternity echoes what we do in life

With honor and strength I must keep this true alive

Now it’s time for justice see the emperor defied

The last wish of dying man

To pursue what is right

Home

Let me go home

When death smiles at you

So the father said

There’s nothing left to do Smile back at the death

I will show them blood

They will chant my name

Time for the tyrant to fear

Gladiator protector

Father to a murdered son

Gladiator protector

I will see my vengeance done

They just don’t know they are conquered

They continue to fight

Would we be any different

Wouldn’t we bark and bite

For all that we hold dear

For your families and our life

Like each breath is our last

As we fight not to die

In this arena

I who will not die won’t salute you

In this life or the next

My vengeance I will have

You turned me into a warrior slave

You made me kill them all

But as time goes you will see

It is just one more kill

Then it’s done
