Bread and Circuses Songtext
von Blynd

Upon your throne you decompose
Bodies have fallen for the glory of the few
The Colosseum was the first to witness this conviction
Placebo for the masses, a timeless déjà vu

Last call – thumb is up, I'll spare your life for now
The drug that you've been yearning, has now been devoured

Sic transit gloria mundi
Don't let your fear show
This, too, shall pass away
Sic transit gloria mundi
May the odds be with you
Live to become a God

The times are changing, though your face remains the same
Here is your food and entertainment; it will shut your mouth
War is needed until they conquer what is left of you
There is no way to stop it, killed by your own fears
Last call – thumb is up, I'll spare your life for now
The drug that you've been yearning has now been devoured


Sic transit gloria mundi
Don't let your fear show
This, too, shall pass away
Sic transit gloria mundi
May the odds be with you
Live to become a God

Our Father who art in heaven
Those who are about to die salute you

Sic transit gloria mundi
Don't let your fear show
This, too, shall pass away
Sic transit gloria mundi
May the odds be with you
Live to become a God
Sic transit gloria mundi
Don't let your fear show
This, too, shall pass away
Sic transit gloria mundi
May the odds be with you
Panem et circenses
