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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
