Old gladiator
The stakes are high
The lights are bright
Beginning of a battle
Its more than just might
Each battles demons
They are cocky as hell
The bell rings at each other they go
Like a shark when blood they smell
Bones have cracked
Neither willing to bend for the other
Pure luck and will
They attempt to destroy one another
When its all over
One stands tall
The other in shame
Took a toll on his body before he did fall
My hands raised high
But did i just win
Is this worth
Destroying a man
They flock all around
Excited and screaming
You puke out the same line
How your proud and must be dreaming
When deep down its all you know
Day after day
Night after night
All i do is fight life not meant to be this way
People still cheering
Screaming my name
None of them know or care
I look at the world with shame
I may only be a big power of a brute
Just know thats not all i am
Why do i speak of it
No one gives a damn
Tormented for who i am
Destroyed for who im not
Will you ever understand.
At what price fame is bought
Shall i continue this or
