The Burning of Rome Lyrics

Flame consumes and penetrates

An empire made of stone

Rising faster, the Christ disaster

Has come for Neros throne

Streets are laid with molten flesh

And nobles pray for death

Welcome to the end of days

Twas Nero who burned Rome

Rome burned and Nero fiddled

For all to see

His hatred for the Christian cult

Became his final creed

Jesus Christ was crucified

An enemy of the state

And after time, Neros great fire

Legend sealed it's fate

Fire, fire

Rome burned and Nero fiddled

For all to see

His hatred for the Christian cult

Became his final creed

Jesus Christ was crucified

An enemy of the state

And after time, Neros great fire

Legend sealed it's fate

Accusations are everywhere

And Peters cult is to blame

Though suspicions echo deep

Yet Nero has no shame

Rome burned and Nero fiddled

For all to see

His hatred for the Christian cult

Became his final creed

Jesus Christ was crucified

An enemy of the state

And after time, Neros great fire

Legend sealed it's fate

Fire, fire

Rome burned and Nero fiddled

For all to see

His hatred for the Christian cult

Became his final creed

Jesus Christ was crucified

An enemy of the state

And after time, Neros great fire

Legend sealed it's fate
