Beast Nero Lyrics


Tongues of flame

Lick the night sky

Conflagration

Acrid smoke rise

Singing of Troy

While my city dies

And on the sixth day

The ferile twins cried

As I watch it burn

As I watch it burn

Domus Aurea

My citadel proud

God, Father, King

Thy temple torn down

Rumors persist

A goat for the crowd

Thus I offer thee

Disciples (of the) etched shroud

As I watch them burn

As I watch them burn

Like marionettes on a pyre

Gardens lit by holy fire

In darkness shines, light of your life

For this I decree…

Fot all eternity shall I be your anti-christ!

As I watch them burn!

As I watch them burn!

It always begins with a song of prayer and the faint crackling of kindling surrendering to a spark.

Then as the pungent smoke rises the prayer fills with panic and my heart begins to warm while the screaming begins.

My, how the still of night is split by the shrieks of agony as the flames gently crawl up their legs.

And as I bend to smell the flowers lit by their writhing, charred bodies I smile and rightly proclaim “I am a god!”, “I am a god!”, “I AM A GOD!!!”
