Pagan kings who rule as gods

Conjurers of mystic might

Conspiracy, insanity

Raiding the temples

The city bleeds

Rome is on fire

Sign of the iron fist

To the lions! to the lions!

From gold cups you drink deeply

Perversion, cruelty

Long shall your names be known

Plunder of the conquered lavished unto thee

Rome is on fire

Engraved in stone the deadly

Sign of the iron fist... 666

Ave, Ave, Caligula

Ave, Ave, Nero

Crucified and burned alive

To serve as living torches in the night

So, all now hear the new decree

Let them hate me

So long as they fear me

Rome is on fire

Engraved in stone the deadly

Sign of the iron fist... 666

Ave, Ave, Caligula

Ave, Ave, Nero
