Nero, oh conqueror
Your empire burns
Dance for your ashes
Tell us, what have you learned?
Kill all the lovers
And make them your own
You have betrayed
A city called "home."
So it follows, so it follows.
A savior is born, now dust off your mantle piece.
Invoke a sacred rite and fall to your knees.
You hold a broken hilt so high above your head.
Oh, bemoaned crown, you say you'll strike me dead.
But you already have.
