I Salute You

Long look at arena as it could be my last
Smell of dried blood from the sand mixed with dust
Every minute of waiting feels lifetime long
For this moment we trained since we were young

Scares all over our bodies are talking to me
Man, this is the end if you show up your fear
Just open this gate and wish me good luck
Two of us march out but only one will be back

I salute you, O mighty Caesar and I salute the crowd
God, please don’t let me fail, I want make them proud
Switch on the lights, show starts right now
Welcome to circus, I play the lead clown.

I see cuts in my flesh, but don’t feel any pain
Lost all my freedom for two minutes of fame
Don’t take it hard boy, there is no one to blame
For some it’s a business, for some it’s just game

I salute you, O mighty Caesar and I salute the crowd
God, please don’t let me fail, I want make them proud
Switch on the lights, show starts right now
Welcome to circus, I play the lead clown.

Original lyric about a gladiator. It should be in a movie.
