Battle royal (plural battles royal) traditionally refers to a fight involving three or more combatants that is fought until only one fighter remains standing. In recent times the term has been used in a more general sense to refer to any fight involving large numbers of people that are not organized into factions. Within combat sports, the term has a specific meaning, depending on the sports being discussed.
The term "battle royal" was first coined by the Romans[citation needed] to refer to a form of gladiatorial combat involving a number of gladiators fighting, armed or unarmed, until only one remained standing, or alive. These fights tended to be particularly brutal, even by the standards of the Romans. Early Christians, such as Clement of Rome and Ignatius, actively campaigned against this savage form of entertainment, to no success.
Following the collapse of the Roman empire, the battle royal fell out of vogue as a form of entertainment until the 19th century, when it resurfaced in the United States.
Love oh love
You're just a sneaky dog from hell
A backstabbing deamon
Who craves to party with our pain
Again and again
You plow the fields of broken hearts
In the end
We're all easy prey for you
Die right here in my arms
Die right here with me
Die in my arms die with a smile as bright as the sun
I need someone to
Die in my arms die with a smile as bright as the sun
Love oh love
Your empire is forged in battle
A battle royal
That tears and rips our souls apart
Again and again
We welcome you with open arms
In the end
We all got eaten alive
Die right here in my arms
Die right here with me
Die in my arms die with a smile as bright as the sun
I need someone to
Die in my arms die with a smile as bright as the sun
Die in my arms die with a smile as bright as the sun
Right now I want you to
