The Gladiator

The Gladiator
 
They call me white devil and black jesus.
 
When I step in, heaven closes and hell freezes.
 
When they hear me, I am groundshaking and brickbreaking.
 
When they see me, I start slaying and the sinners begin praying.
 
When I succeed they start kissing and wish me blissing.
 
But at the end my soul keeps ripping and my thoughts are slipping.
 
I am an entertainer and a dream retainer.
