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

CHORUS
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
