The Gladiator

He was a warrior who fought lions
And battled with himself

He sought an end to his crying
And the bottle on the shelf

He was a man full of love
Yet full of hate

He spoke of the dove
Yet couldn’t escape

He was moved by the Lord
But tormented by a demon

He lived by the sword
But couldn’t stop the screamin

He believed in something
Even sought the beyond

He thought he was loving
Even had a special bond

He had more than he thought
Us who tried to stay

He accidentally brought
Us together that day
