Nero's Inferno 歌詞

In ancient pagan Rome, the entertainment of those times Took place in huge arenas where the people could unwind As helpless Christians were fed to the starving animals They watched and cheered and thought the pastime was enjoyable Though all the Caesar's of Rome were depraved and perverse Everybody said that Nero the Caesar was the worst [CHORUS:] Nero's inferno Rome must have been like a giant sterno Nero's inferno Nero played his lyre as he watched the burning Rome When he was young he liked to prowl around the streets at night Attacking men on their way home Killing them with a knife Then later in life he would dress in skins of animals A leaping from a den Attacking people tied to poles With men and women tied to stakes Unable to defend themselves Nero would attack them biting off their genitals [CHORUS] He wanted a new palace home and so he burned down Rome, it's Nero's inferno The palace that he lived in wasn't good enough for him It's Nero's inferno A sudden fire did appear as Nero played his lyre, it's Nero's inferno He blamed the Christians for the fire but Nero was a liar, it's Nero's inferno He castrated a boy named Sporus and dressed him as his bride At this wedding they made torches of the Christians for their light He tore out his mother's womb to see where he came from He burned down Rome and played his lyre and blamed the Christians Rome rejected Nero and called him public enemy He stabbed himself in the throat Helped by his secretary
