I stand behind the gate enchained
yet my name is praised
among the slaves
who are forced to fight
for their lives
in front of the Emperor
I'm getting old and I know
today is the last time
when I raise my sword
as a living hero
I have earned my freedom
at last...in death
I have slain hundreds of men
from every corner of the world
and fought against gigantic beasts
to entertain aristocrat
like a pack of wolves I attack
and sink my blade deep
into the flesh of a man
who I once was
I stand in the crimson sand
at last...I bleed
earn your freedom
fight like immortal
the rule of the sand
one has to die
blood on the sand
will never run dry
the rule of the sand
from bones of thy
new master will rise
and in your name he shall fight
earn your freedom
fight like immortal
mother wherever you are
embrace me like a child
I'm coming home
father wherever you are
I want you to know
your son lived well
