Almanac - Satisfied

"And he who misses the murderous exhibitions is grieved, because he was not doomed
to be a spectator of wicked, impious, and abominable deeds." - Tatian, C. A.D. 165

Dust and blood are me, the butcher and the slaughtered
I raise my sword to kill, my terror for your show
Let him die!

I'm the executed, slave and prosecuted
You taught me how to fight and kill
Take him down!

I'm made of blood and power, a skin full of scars
That's all you need to know about me now

No one sees me but they stare at me
What's so good for them to see me bleed
Break these chains, they are hungry for my life
I have no way to hide
Never break my pride
You will never see inside

Prison taught me well, I'm here to prove your power
They want to cheer a beast, my wounds are their reward
Let him die!

I'm the executed, slave and prosecuted
You want me to fight and thrill
Take him down!

I'm made of blood and power, a skin full of scars
That's all you need to know about me now

No one sees me but they stare at me
What's so good for them to see me bleed
Break these chains, they are hungry for my life
I have no way to hide
Never break my pride
You will never see inside
Are you satisfied?

Thought I'd never break, you choose my fate beneath you
Today I lose the fight, today I go to sleep
Let him die!

I'm the executed, slave and prosecuted
Now you see me beat and killed
Take him down!

I'm made of blood and power, a skin full of scars
That's all you need to know about me
My purpose was to kill, a show for your thrill
You don't need to know about me now

No one sees me but they stare at me
What's so good for them to see me bleed
No one hears me but they crave my scream
I'm the beast to howl for your regime
Break these chains, they are hungry for my life
I have no way to hide
Never break my pride
You will never see inside
Are you satisfied?
