Loved ones feared the ending as it quickly came
The passion in them aroused, unable to be tamed
Wild hearts, pure innocence led them forward
Whatever the cost, one must live in the moment
Even if time has consequence, even in a second
The torment of sorrow wounds, a life reckoned
Should the gladiator win, should he lose
Nothing forced the Emperor to choose
Death would come in time
One way or the other
