[Verse 1: Luke]
This game's been played before
Seventy-three times won
The faster you die the faster you lose
Life's the prize for one

[Pre-chorus: Joey]
Children wielding weapons, cutting short a life
Cameras see it all
But were they enemies, or were they friends?
Gotta make it through somehow

[Chorus: Luke, Joey, Meghan]
The arena
The arena
This is our world stage
The arena
The arena
This is our death cage
Cannons in the distance, the distance
Silver parachutes descend
You've been spared for now
But for how long?
When will all this end?

[Verse 2: Meghan]
Watch out for the Careers
Murder's in their veins
Cato, Clove, and Glimmer
Survive and thrive on pain

[Pre-chorus 2: Joey]
All that's left are the eyes, twisted mutations
Risen from the dead
Born to kill, bred to die
But they bleed all the same

Five, four, three, two, one

[Chorus: Luke, Joey, Meghan]
The arena
The arena
This is our world stage
The arena
The arena
This is our death cage
Cannons in the distance, the distance
Silver parachutes descend
You've been spared for now
But for how long?
When will all this end?

[Bridge: Luke]
No allies or teams
Only their screams
No allies or teams
Five, four, three, two, one

[Chorus: Luke, Joey, Meghan]
The arena
The arena
This is our world stage
The arena
The arena
This is our death cage
Cannons in the distance, the distance
Silver parachutes descend
You've been spared for now
But for how long?
When will all this end?
