An arena is an enclosed area, often circular or oval-shaped, designed to showcase theater, musical performances, or sporting events. The word derives from Latin harena, a particularly fine/smooth sand used to absorb blood in ancient arenas like the Colosseum in Rome. It is composed of a large open space surrounded on most or all sides by tiered seating for spectators. The key feature of an arena is that the event space is the lowest point, allowing for maximum visibility. Usually, an arena is designed to accommodate a fairly large number of spectators.
The term arena is sometimes used as a synonym for a very large venue such as Pasadena's Rose Bowl, but such a facility is typically called a stadium, especially if it does not have a roof.[citation needed] The use of one term over the other has mostly to do with the type of event. Football (be it association, rugby, or gridiron) is typically played in a stadium while basketball and ice hockey are typically played in an arena, although many of the larger arenas hold more spectators than do the stadiums of smaller colleges or high schools. There are exceptions. The home of the Duke University basketball team would qualify as an arena, but the facility is called Cameron Indoor Stadium. Domed stadiums, which like arenas are enclosed but have the larger playing surfaces and seating capacities found in stadiums, also fall under a gray area. There is also the sport of indoor American football (one variant of which is explicitly known as arena football), a variant of the gridiron-based game that is designed for the usual smaller playing surface of most arenas; variants of other traditionally outdoor sports, including box lacrosse and futsal/indoor soccer, also exist.

2000 (MM) was a leap year that started on a Saturday, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It was the 2000th year of the Common Era or the Anno Domini designation, and the last year of the 20th century and the 2nd millennium.
2000 was designated as:
The year 2000 was the first year of the 2000s decade. Popular culture holds the year 2000 as the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium, due to a tendencial way to group the years according to decimal values, as if year zero were counted. According to the Gregorian calendar this distinction falls to the year 2001, because the 1st century was retroactively said to start with year AD 1. Since the calendar has no year zero, its first millennium spans from years 1 to 1000, inclusively, and its second millennium from years 1001 to 2000. (See more at Millennium.)
The year 2000 was the subject of Y2K concerns: fears that computers would not shift from 1999 to 2000 correctly. However, by the end of 1999, many companies had already converted to new, or upgraded their existing software. Some even obtained Y2K certification. As a result of massive effort, much of it mis-directed, relatively few problems occurred.
Have you ever lived in a cage
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
For I've never loved in a cage
Or talked to a friend or just waved
Well I walk while they talk about virtue
Just raised on my back legs and snarled
Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion
And tell dirty jokes as he died
But I'm damned when I really care there
For the cellar's the room in your lives
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey
And close the cage doors on your life
Well I pray while you bathe in bad water
Sing songs that I learnt as a boy
Then breaks all the bones in my body
Spend you days just walking and shopping
Depending on how much you're luck is in
Spend the night-life table-hopping
And trying to keep that bag of bones in trim
I don't mind not being immortal
'Cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell
And by the time we start getting used to it
The dope that's forming on the windowsill
Now we know we've got ourselves into
The cage that keeps the mice on the treadmill
I don't mind not being immortal
'Cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell
I don't mind not being immortal
'Cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
For years I've seen you fighting
Against your heart
Living like you're dying
So far from the sun
Waiting for a guardian angel
To lead you through the dangers
That lie ahead on your way
Towards tomorrows arms
Tears have turned from sweet to sour and hours to days
You're hiding yourself away
From our cruel world's embrace
And as your days turn to weeks
You'll cry yourself to sleep
In the cage
We all have our fears but yours are
The scariest of them all
Lift your head and let us taste
The horror you adore
And it all starts to makes sense
All the blood wisely shed
Just wait until the cure comes knocking on your door
Tears have turned from sweet to sour and hours to days
You're hiding yourself away
From our cruel world's embrace
And as your days turn to weeks
You'll cry yourself to sleep
In the cage you're locked in
Tears have turned from sweet to sour and hours to days
You're hiding yourself away
From our cruel world's embrace
And as your days turn to weeks
You'll cry yourself to sleep
In the cage
And as your days turn to weeks
You'll cry yourself to sleep
I cannot see when day is night,
Disguise my true identity
When all has shattered, all is lost,
The cage remains my home, now and forever.
I run and seek the world for you,
But you have gone in silence.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
This face is new to me.
No matter what I may have done,
No matter what I may have said, -
I’ll let you go.
Sad indeed, my world is dying,
I wander past some burning trees,
When daylight turns into darkness
I stand alone, whisper for help.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
This face is new to me.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
This face is new to me.
I run and seek the world for you,
But you have gone in silence.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
This face is new to me.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
This face is new to me.
Every day a forgotten stranger,
I’ll write it down for you,
Absurd! My life in danger,
you broke the bread
we drank the wine
your lip was bleedin' but it was fine
come on inside babe
across the line
i love you more than i
but then this bird just flew away
she was never meant to stay
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
you broke your word
now that's a lie
we had a deal that you would try
come on inside girl
i think it's time
high time we drew the line
but then this bird just flew away
while i looked the other way
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
you broke my soul dear
you stole the plot
you left an empty shot
there's nothing left here
cos you took the lot
an empty cage is all i've got
cos when your bird has flown away
she was never meant to stay
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
[w/Jens Johansson's solo]
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door.
Suddenly I realized what locks are for. No trusting them anymore, lights - are - out.
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware, dragged out from my home ,my lair.
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me.
Fear in the dark, I advice you. Can't see the eyes, the grow behind you....
It's my song they now sing to you.
You stand no chance....
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free, it's my minions vs. thee.
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't lame me...
You will remember the day you crossed my path.
leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath.
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel.
I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you, you, back to you...
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't lame me...
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Trapped inside the cage
All that you'll see you'll soon forget
These bitter words of pain and rage yours to keep as you come of age
Every second passing in our lives
Seals the door a little tighter
Walls that keep us trapped inside are barriers within our own minds
Locked down hard for none to see
Prisoners of our own misery
Try to be yourself and see what you get
Don't try to question or step out of line
You might think something you'll live to regret
Unthinkable thoughts, they'll haunt you
You'll never forget
Trapped inside the cage
All that you see you soon forget
And so we let the cycle flow
Thinking there's nothing to know
Wandering, wakeful time ticks fast
See your future become your past
Strung out on fear of what becomes of a mind on fire with a severed tongue
Days spent questioning life's worth
Turned the gift of life back into a curse
So let crows peck at my heart
May they erase the memory of today
You'll never forget
All that you see, you'll soon forget
The cage
All that you see soon forget
And so we let the cycle flow
(I say kill it like ya
You say hate it
Kill it like ya hate it

Verse 1
Sealed in encasings of Canvass and steel.
Twisting,contorting your mind.
Lost in a vision of tourture and hate.
Now you must turn to yourself to discover,
That you,and this sanity.
Walk,through this fantasy.
To, end this lunacy.
Scratching and twisting you try to resist,
unfortunate victim of pain.
Locked in a room in a world of despair.
Increasing the volume it's time to discover,
That you,and this sanity.
Walk, through this fantasy.
To,end this lunacy.
Chorus
Bars that hold you back, into the past
and you must not be held,enslaved.
You're trapped here,in The Cage.
Link
Dark,deep,corners of pain.
There must be a light here to find.
The rotten dismay,
Of a braincell decay.
A twisting and turning,
contorting,converting,
decline.
Chorus
Bars that hold you back,into the past
and you must not be held enslaved.
You're trapped here,in The Cage
Verse 2
All the kings horses and all the kings men,
are trying too brand you insane.
Screaming and bleeding you lie in your cell.
Increasing the volume,you have discovered.
That you and this sanity.
Walk through this fantasy.
To,end this lunacy.
Chorus
Bars that hold you back,into the past
and you must not be held enslaved.
So he's learned to hold his cigarette
And his drink in one hand
But he wonders if he's getting old
Everyone comes off so silly
But he doesn't forget the moon outside
Or the stars up above
Met a girl from Poland
She say Brezhnev
Met a boy from Santo Domingo
He say cocaine
Met a girl from Poland
She say Brezhnev
Met a boy from Santo Domingo
He say cocaine
Hey, can I buy you a drink?
Sorry, I don't drink
Alright... Oh, what's that in your hand?
That's a drink
You got a cigarette?
This is my last one
Right
And the boy keeps on dancing
Girls come
And this boy keeps on dancing
Girls come
And the music goes from bad to worse
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing
Oh, everybody's dancing
Dancing
Hush now baby don't you cry I can't wipe your teary eyes You look at me terrified Oh baby don't you cry
Invade my dreams Every night Claw for air I can't breathe Fight for life Every night Trip to nowhere Celestial flight The trip was Oh so real And dying just Blew my mind
He told me, "Son?" WALK A walk Not by-sight But-by faith He told me, "Son?" TALK Of love and of hope everyday I asked my friend Oh when will it end? He said again and again In His time
For 40 years Or was it 40 nights A living hell I'm not dying In the desert Not tonight Trip to heaven Celestial flight I'm almost there Milk and honey It tastes so real Blew my mind
He told me, "Son?" WALK A walk Not by-sight But-by faith He told me, "Son?" TALK Of love and of hope everyday I asked my friend Oh when will it end? He said one more time again In His time
My torment has been legendary Persecution and insufferable rage I left my dead self in a cemetery A damnable soul set free from its cage
