Cage Fighter Rules
Inspired by Ryan Wheeler's storyline in Episode 10: Traveling Alone, Season 2 of "Kingdom". It's MMA fighting in action. Ryan Wheeler is portrayed by the exceptional Matt Lauria.
Don't let the demons win. You can be a fighter. But, keep the violence to the cage, like the professionals do.
Cage fighter rules

Get into the cage
Violence is the business
Cage fighter rules
Not a place for innocents
Destroyer across my chest
Tattoos mark my skin
Remind you of my power
The glory of my winning
Cage fighting match
Violence wins tonight
I'm still the champion
No one takes my title
Here it is so simple
Fighting with the rules
It's outside where it's brutal
The world has a special cruelty
Where life is never fair
And emotions kill you slowly
You long to walk away
From everything that's normal
Keep the demons under wraps
Never let them win
Keep the violence in the cage
Where we're the professionals
Get out of the cage
Time to face the world
Deal with everybody
Denial and atonement
We all travel alone
Even when we're in a pack
We all fight our own demons
No one can truly have our back
Can you leave the cage?
Will the cage ever leave you?
Only you can walk this journey
Be a fighter for your truth
Your heart and soul need light
Your body and mind need peace
Time to kill your dad
And give him sweet release
The guilt will weigh on you
But it's his wish to leave his prison
His body that is broken
His mind that's anxiety ridden
Get into the cage
It's where you feel at home
Even though you hate it
Being a fighter is all you know
This cage is your own prison
This cage is your own Hell
This cage is your own Heaven
This cage is freedom's bell
Get into the cage
Violence is the business
Cage fighter rules
Not a place for innocents
Destroyer across my chest
Tattoos mark my skin
Remind you of my power
The glory of my winning
Cage fighting match
Violence wins tonight
I'm still the champion
No one takes my title
