Hail the emperor! Rose to power 'gainst the paulines A tyrant and a savior The delusions of the meek The corpse! A malignant sign is rising Seven gates of angels Must be shut 'fore its too late
Forgotten! The writings of the scripts to be Pre-existant antichrist Beacon of lunacy Persecution! The eye is kept closed While the city turns to sin And death claims its throne
Lawless king The slayer of his mother Who himself is king Will persecute the plant Which the twelve apostles Of the beloved Have planted Of the twelve One will be delievered to his hands!
Cross of nero! Obey! Cross of nero! Watch the kingdom Blinden by the flames!
The number! Of the beast Metaphors run rampant Through the halls Of ravaged streets They hide in fear of death Crucifixion by the limbs Christian blood flows On the crimson sand
Murder! A dirge of unholy vengeance Averting the eyes of sin Shameless and without restraint A deadly curse runs through his veins The terror of the seraphim The throne of tyranny!
Lawless king The slayer of his mother Will come - and there Will come - with him All the powers of this world And they - will hearken unto him In all that he desires!
Cross of nero! Obey! Cross of nero! Watch the kingdom Blinden by the flames!
Who's to blame for setting the fires? Was it him or a secret cult? The scapegoats righteously sentenced For their lives - are but worthless!
Flawless king The slayer of his mother Will come - and there Will come - with him All the powers of this world And they - will hearken unto him In all that he desires! Cross of nero! Obey! Cross of nero! Watch them burn down blinded by the flames! Cross of nero! Obey! Cross of nero! Feed the christians to the gods of day!
