We Who Are About to Die Lyrics
Blood on the sand
Where the gladiators stand
Thunder from the gods
Who deal in the fate of man
Hail Caesar
Those who are about to die
By turn of his hand
Commit your blood to the sand
Roar from the mass
As they bay for blood to spill
Hail, Caesar stands
To bring this game of death to life
Those Who Are About to Die
We Salute You
Silence, a warriors stands
With an axe held in both hands
Hail, Caesar stands
All eyes fixed on his hand
Where the gladiators stand
Thunder from the gods
Who deal in the fate of man
Those who are about to die
By turn of his hand
Commit your blood to the sand
As they bay for blood to spill
Hail, Caesar stands
To bring this game of death to life
We Salute You
Silence, a warriors stands
With an axe held in both hands
Hail, Caesar stands
All eyes fixed on his hand

I'm pretty certain this song is about the gladatorial games in ancient Rome...ending is pretty powerful too, lyrically.
watch the movie gladiator... thats wut this is about!
Ashton is right. This is probably the best song off of Enter The Grave. Their thrashier songs are great, but this is like something that would fit right in with Metallica's 7-minute epics
