Lyrics: Alex Cohen

suffering along this road in silence
grit my teeth become one with the violence
sword in hand
shifting sands
let the grains drift through my plans

we who are about to die condemn you
we who are about to die
know the secrets that you hide

fly to your god you will pray
within the walls of the collosseum
you've been digging your grave

die the path has been paved
all your people wish to see you rotting away

you've been so careless in your greed
you've forgotten to feed
the people become a sea and the fire in their eyes wants to see you bleed

the gates to hell are open night and day
smooth is the descent
easy is the way
but to return and view the cheerful skies
in this the task and the mighty labor lies

groan as you're devoured
youll only ever be a mother fucking coward
one glimpse of your deception
destroyed all hope of your redemption

you've run ragged off the deep end
the gates of hell beg you to descend
so lay in the bed you've made
while history forgets the part you played

we all want to be free
servitude plays out in only one way
paints a polarizing picture
of victimization
we are not your slaves
we do not live to entertain
we have nothing left to gain
we're more than pawns within your game

the gates to hell are open night and day
smooth is the descent
easy is the way
but to return and view the cheerful skies
in this the task and the mighty labor lies

the gates to hell are open night and day
24/7 theyre calling your name
placating the devils eyes
within yourself the evil will never
die

distant echoes of a dream of freedom
only a whisper otherwise it's fleeting
keep dreaming on and on
break the chains
through the flames
witnessing the demons
place the blame
On another face
another tyrant for another fucking day
