Lyrics:

Verse I

Silence breaks, the moment burns
Every eye, the verdict turns
Life is waiting on a sign
One small move — the final line

Sweat and blood on shattered skin
Hope is thin, the noise comes in
Crowds don’t think, they only feel
Death is just another deal

Chorus

THUMBS! DOWN!
HEY! HEY!
THUMBS! DOWN!
NO MER-CY!

Blood decides, the crowd proclaims
OH! OH! — end the game
THUMBS! DOWN!
ROME DEMANDS!

Verse II

No appeal, no second breath
Cheers are louder than the death
Justice rots in open air
When the crowd is judge and prayer

Names erased, bodies fall
Entertainment rules them all
History applauds the kill
Noise replaces human will

Chorus

THUMBS! DOWN!
HEY! HEY!
THUMBS! DOWN!
NO MER-CY!

Blood decides, the crowd proclaims
OH! OH! — end the game
THUMBS! DOWN!
ROME DEMANDS!

Bridge

Vox populi
Vox populi
Vox dei
Vox dei

Chorus

THUMBS! DOWN!
HEY! HEY!
THUMBS! DOWN!
NO MER-CY!

Blood decides, the crowd proclaims
OH! OH! — end the game
THUMBS! DOWN!
ROME DEMANDS!

Final Chorus

THUMBS! DOWN!
HEY! HEY!
THUMBS! DOWN!
NO MER-CY!

Crowd is king, the sand is fed
Rome survives on dying men

Bread & Blood explores the rise and decay of ancient Rome — from emperors and arenas to crowds, sacrifice, and legacy.

Each song stands alone while also forming part of a continuous power metal opera about power, spectacle, and the price of control.

Epic melodies, heavy riffs, and historical atmosphere collide in this symphonic power metal journey.
