lyrics

I wish I had the time to stay. I’ve got places to go and many things to say. To the gladiators of Rome and the astronauts in space. To the king on the throne and the beggar in my face. We are the same you know, you and I. Because we’re going for the gold but not for the gold. Every day is the same, it’s do or die. And what better way to go than the glory of the fight, than the courage of the climb. To the gladiators of Rome and the astronauts in space. To the king on the throne and the beggar in my face. I too am a gladiator of Rome and an astronaut in space. I was a king on a throne but a beggar in my ways.

The "Topshelf Records" label is specialized in the release of interesting and unusual music from the areas of alternative rock, post-rock, and math rock. This sampler provides a thorough insight into its impressing catalog of artists and bands. This is one of the very few label samplers I can listen to all the way through without skipping tracks.
