Nero's Inferno - Macabre

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
