Gladiators lyrics by Janani K. Jha
We could always be the villains
You know there’s always a good reason
No, life isn’t fair
No, life isn’t fair
Oh, but do you see it, see the vision
A future different than what was written?
Something’s in the air
Something’s in the air
When a battle hymn becomes a battle cry
Will you let it in or let it pass you by?
Know something’s gotta give, but please don’t let it die
(Huh)
Today we are the gladiators
Tonight, we face the king
Coming from a land of myths and fables
Stories that we sing
And we don’t need a savior (huh)
We know what we’re fighting for
Yeah, they might win the battle later
But we’ll win the war
Yeah, we’ll win the war
We’ll win the war
It won’t always be this distant
A shining city on the horizon
I can see it there
I can see it there
But if tomorrow never finds us
Who knows what stories will survive us?
Mm, the legacies we’ll leave behind us
They’ll turn to gold, they’ll call us Midas
When a battle hymn becomes a battle cry
Will you let it in or let it pass you by?
Know something’s gotta give, but please don’t let it die
(Huh)
Today we are the gladiators
Tonight, we face the king
Coming from a land of myths and fables
Stories that we sing
And we don’t need a savior (no)
We know what we’re fighting for
Yeah, they might win the battle later
But we’ll win the war
Yeah, we’ll win the war
We’ll win the war
Open up your eyes
See the city walls
How the mighty live
How the mighty fall
Now, it is the time
Time to hear the call
How the mighty live
How the mighty fall
Today we are the gladiators
Tonight, we face the king
Coming from a land of myths and fables
Stories that we sing (stories that we sing)
And we don’t need a savior (no)
We know what we’re fighting for
Yeah, they might win the battle later
But we’ll win the war
Yeah, we’ll win the war
We could always be the villains
