Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard Death Smiles At Us All (Featuring Russell Crowe And Joaquin Phoenix) Lyrics

[ Commodus ]
Maximus... Maximus... Maximus...
They call for you.
The general who became a slave.
The slave who became a gladiator.
The gladiator who defied an emperor.
A striking story.
Now the people want to know how the story ends.
Only a famous death will do.
And what could be more glorious... than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?

[ Maximus ]
You would fight me?

[ Commodus ]
Why not?
Do you think I'm afraid?

[ Maximus ]
I think you have been afraid all your life.

[ Commodus ]
Unlike Maximus the Invincible, who knows no fear?

[ Maximus ]
I knew a man who once said,
"Death smiles at us all.
All a man can do is smile back."

[ Commodus ]
I wonder... did your friend smile at his own death?

[ Maximus ]
You must know.
He was your father.

[ by Lucke / from Gladiator subtitling ]
