Coliseum

Got nightmare walking

On two legs

There's a word for people like us

Can't shake the feeling

We're moving backwards

History repeating itself

 

Ain't got time to prove

Why even bother?

Just ignore the signs

Ain't got time to lose

Can't change the drama

In time you'll see

The empire never ended

 

McSweeney draws first blood

Teeth hit the floor

Fingers twitch on the remote

The crowd want more more more

They're waiting for

The ground and pound

To turn his face into raw meat

Little Johnny turns to mommy

"This is is what I want to be"

 

(Because)

 

Pain is hopeful

Pain is holy

Pain is healthy

Pain heals
