Smile Back at Death

Blaze Bayley Band

[Verse 1]
Blessed father what is it that the gods will for me
Is it their will that I should do this duty alone
I am a slave and what difference can I possibly make
When all I do is what I must so I don't die this day

[Pre-Chorus]
Home
Let me go home

[Chorus]
When death smiles at you
So the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear

[Refrain]
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done

[Verse 2]
In eternity echoes what we do in life
With honor and strength I must keep this truth alive
Now it's time for justice see the emperor defied
The last wish of a dying man
To pursue what is right

[Pre-Chorus]
Home
Let me go home

[Chorus]
When death smiles at you
So the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear

[Refrain]
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done

[Bridge]
They just don't know they are conquered
They continue to fight
Would we be any different
Wouldn't we bark and bite
For all that we hold dear
For our families and our life
Like each breath is our last
As we fight not to die

In this arena
I who will not die won't salute you
In this life or the next
My vengeance I will have
You turned me into a warrior slave
You made me kill them all
But as time goes you will see
It is just one more kill
Then it's done

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Home
Let me go home

[Pre-Chorus]
Home
Let me go home

[Refrain]
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done

[Refrain/Outro]
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance
I will see my vengeance
I will see my vengeance done
