These coliseum cliffs encroach
In staggering circles
Exits barred, crowds cheering
Lions licking lips
When bothering to look
The sand beneath my feet
Deep, a smothering quicksand
Of crushed bones, stolen dreams
A brutal dispersement of truths
Backed by force
And as I look high to tempestuous skies
I realise
There is no leaving this place
I’m trapped
There is no leaving this place
I’m me for ever
