A Place To Die

Lyrics
I can see the face of the ever clear
I see apparitions fly
Shadows falling in my peripheral
Turn to see them and they hide
Double vision and out of focus
Heat rising from deep within
I am dying inside from the thirst
Another drink to make things clear
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
Live with my demons and the terror they can give
I can feel the pounding of the spinning earth
Voices whisper in my ear
Feels like my head may come apart
Blood is flowing from my ear
Operate with one eye open
Decisions not so clear
I can hear the call of the captain
Calming nerves and always there
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
Live with my demons and the terror they can give
One shot, two, three shots, more
One more for the road
Before I hit the door
One to hide the shame
One to heal the pain
Numbing all the choices I have made
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live (A place to live)
Live with my demons and the terror they can give (Terror they can give)
I just need a place where I can die
(A place to die)
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
(Searching for a place)
Live with my demons and the terror they can give Your life passes you by, I live, you die.
The arena is mine, I live, you die.
Entry of the gladiators, 264 B.C.
The emperors and nobles have made a pawn of me.
I battle slaves end free men and wild blood thirsty beasts.
The red sand surrounds me, so they can't see them bleed.
[chorus:]
Your life passes you by (I live you die).
The Reaper is near.
Again the arena is mine (I live you die).
I live you die.
Sword drawn and battle ready, Trajan in command.
Fight 'till death 100 days, corpses of 2000 men.
The masses they decide the fate of a fallen men.
Thumbs down in drunken haste, life's taker and giver I am.
[repeat chorus]
Innocent children dressed like the sacred lamb,
Taken for Nero's-slaughter, as the people look away,
To the pit dogs they are prey, the people look away... they look away...
I live, you die!
Persecuted Christians in the blood soaked ring.
Many over many lose their lives, peace to their soul it brings.
The thrills from the kills, those that I have slain,
Are keeping my heart pounding, I live another day.
Your live passes you by (I live you die).
The Reaper is near.
Again the arena is mine (I live you die).
I live again.
Your live passes you by (I live you die).
The Reaper is near.
Again the arena is mine (I live you die).
I live you die.
Die! Die! Die!
I see apparitions fly
Shadows falling in my peripheral
Turn to see them and they hide
Double vision and out of focus
Heat rising from deep within
I am dying inside from the thirst
Another drink to make things clear
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
Live with my demons and the terror they can give
I can feel the pounding of the spinning earth
Voices whisper in my ear
Feels like my head may come apart
Blood is flowing from my ear
Operate with one eye open
Decisions not so clear
I can hear the call of the captain
Calming nerves and always there
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
Live with my demons and the terror they can give
One shot, two, three shots, more
One more for the road
Before I hit the door
One to hide the shame
One to heal the pain
Numbing all the choices I have made
I just need a place where I can die
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live (A place to live)
Live with my demons and the terror they can give (Terror they can give)
I just need a place where I can die
(A place to die)
A place where I can be who I see in my mind
Searching for a place where I can live
(Searching for a place)
Live with my demons and the terror they can give Your life passes you by, I live, you die.
The arena is mine, I live, you die.
