catherine corelli - arena. proving grounds lyrics

wonders of the city
beguile me as i wander along the streets
so real and yet dreamy
it draws me deeper into its mysteries

what’s there?
an arena full of people fighting for their lives
what’s there?
beast and human, man and woman, egos and desires

some watch and cheer
while wine flows and blood runs dark
compelled to be here
they live to prove their worth
and die to leave a mark

they love
all the wild unbridled hate
as they struggle to satiate
their bottomless l_st
for glory and supremacy

they tear
into flesh, and bone, and soul
cause they’re desperate for control
can’t be weak so they seize the day
the arena won’t let them walk away
souls
trapped in a cold patrician’s gaze
suffocating in the stifling haze
spilling guts into the dust
screaming when they hurt the most

they’re free
but the gravity’s too much
no hesitation, no reproach
the spectators cheer again
while the fallen die, and lions roar

“come play
by the rules we make
in this game
you can win and be one of us

come fight
or become our harem maid
serve yourself to our delight
hurry up! it might get late”

no, no, no, not me!
no, no, no, not me!
i don’t need to prove my worth to you
i own my life and destiny
some watch and cheer
(some watch and cheer)
while wine flows and blood runs dark
compelled to be here
(compelled to be here)
they live to prove their worth
and die to leave a mark
to no avail
(to no avail)
all for a vague mirage
slaughter prevails
(slaughter prevails)
until there’s only one
in the blazing sun

they cannot walk away from glory
can’t resist the thirst for fame
and every day this wild arena
swallows them like helpless slaves
the blood and sand, the clash of weapons
the cries of wounded all around
the drunken crowd, the muted shimmer
of trinkets on an ancient crown

it whispers, it roars
(it whispers and it roars, it whispers and it roars)
that i’m the one
(that i’m the only one, that i’m the only one)
my demons know
(my demons demons know, my demons demons know, they know)
it wants my soul
(of all the things i have, it only wants my soul)
soul
soul
soul

that’s not what i came for, seductive as it may seem
a vanity fair with a side of a murderous pipe_dream
your gravity won’t pull me, i don’t need your fool’s gold
i have the power to walk away from you
i’ll heed to my purpose, on my path ’til my blood’s cold
there’s nothing you can give
what you’re gonna do?
what you’re gonna do
now?

some watch and cheer
(some watch and cheer)
while wine flows and blood runs dark
compelled to be here
(compelled to be here)
they live to prove their worth
and die to leave a mark
to no avail
(to no avail)
all for a vague mirage
slaughter prevails
(slaughter prevails)
until there’s only one
in the blazing sun

they tear
into flesh, and bone, and soul
cuz they’re desperate for control
can’t be weak so they seize the day
the arena won’t let them walk away

they’re free
but the gravity’s too much
no hesitation, no reproach
the spectators cheer again
while the fallen die, and lions roar

“come play
by the rules we make
in this game
you can win and be one of us”

i won’t fight
(fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight)
to become your harem maid
(maid, maid, maid, maid, maid, maid, maid, maid, maid, maid)
or give myself for your delight
(light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light)
i took your lions! you’re too late
(late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late)

late
