[Verse 1]
C                          Bb
One by one, brought to the sacrifice
                       D
With steel I will take every life
            G#                 C
Shadows and dust, on a crimson sand
                              Bb
Man against man, fighting for victory
                  D
A clash of titans you will see
        G#             C
Born to die, honor and blood


[Pre-Chorus]
             C#           G#
We want it -€“ we burn it
                      G
Feel the cold bite of steel in my hand


[Chorus]
C
I am gladiator€“
C#          G#

N.C.         C
Vengeance is mine

[Verse 2]
                                 Bb
Clash of steel,€“ blood, sweat and men will die
                   D
I kill them with a silent cry
           G#              C
This is my day my last farewell
                                  Bb
To the last breath, till the last tear is shed
                      D
I spill the blood and crack the heads
         G#                  C
Darkness awaits, heroes will die


[Pre-Chorus]
             C#            G#
We want it - we burn it
                      G
Feel the cold bite of steel in my hand

''My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius

Commander of the armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions

Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius

Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife

And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.''
