Coliseum Warriors

Swords clang and sparks fly In this merciless battle Death the only champion As metal pierces skin Red liquid oozes from wound Blood will soak the earth once more Bloodthirsty crowd cheers Cries of agony echo Death will meet him in the dust For- Amy's Choka for a Chokehold Contest
