3. The Banquet of the Dead (5:54)
A man of shallow faith
Sees reflections of his delusions
by his nieces bosom lies his heir
wrapped in silk young Nero
lives a life of confusion
from the age of three his father
was not there
PRE CHORUS
Nero my son I have given my life
This I do for you
I became your uncles trophy bride
but old Claudius will die soon
No longer in the darkness you shall have to hide
from my brother Caligula
when the day comes you rule over Rome
thank your loving mother Agrippina
CHORUS (X4)
Now I know what I must do
I must put poison in his food
and keep the Caesar justly fed
at the banquet of the dead
Unaware of his wifes evil deeds
Claudius shovels food in his fat face
blood of Caesars been poisoned by incest
with his wife and his bastard son at his final fucking banquet
He drinks the earths finest wines
until he drops dead
Sees reflections of his delusions
by his nieces bosom lies his heir
wrapped in silk young Nero
lives a life of confusion
from the age of three his father
was not there
PRE CHORUS
Nero my son I have given my life
This I do for you
I became your uncles trophy bride
but old Claudius will die soon
No longer in the darkness you shall have to hide
from my brother Caligula
when the day comes you rule over Rome
thank your loving mother Agrippina
CHORUS (X4)
Now I know what I must do
I must put poison in his food
and keep the Caesar justly fed
at the banquet of the dead
Unaware of his wifes evil deeds
Claudius shovels food in his fat face
blood of Caesars been poisoned by incest
with his wife and his bastard son at his final fucking banquet
He drinks the earths finest wines
until he drops dead
