The Thirteen Years of Nero

"I, Claudius, will tell you how to frame your laws Profiteering and bribery will stop The senate will function only in the name of Roman justice And all of you who have acquired position dishonestly Will be replaced by men who love Rome better than their purses I will blank everything rotten in the senate like an old dried wake On that basis only will I become your emperor" She's cast a spell on me The leaves fall from the darkеned tree Still hypnotized by her Agrippina, my goddеss, my queen Rise from the root of the hive Rise from the blood of deceit and lies The snakes are slithering The stench of rot lies beneath your paradise Twisted are the sins of lust Twisted are the sins of lust All my life I was just and fair Different but good, different but good All my life I was just and fair Different but good, different but good Why have the gods forsaken me beneath the sorrow in disguise? They called me crippled, they laughed at me The cries of vengeance always merciful Still, her beauty beholds me Fear has overtaken me The fallen ways of diplomacy Taken by the grip of power Crippled dysfunction Possesses my being, my everything Oh how this curse Bestows the novelty in me, ripped by the bowels of hell Through time I have been honorable I have served the people of Rome And as the great emperor (Of blood and fire, of poison and death) (Of gods and slaves, of truth and lies, of honor and death) I was just (the first betrayal) I was honorable (the wrath of fire) They laughed, they laughed at me (in her seductive eyes, Agrippina, the Mother of snakes) Twisted are the sins of lust Power turns to rust I hear death calling my name All my life I was just and fair Different but good, different but good All my life I was just and fair Different but good, different but good Why have the gods forsaken me beneath the sorrow in disguise? They called me crippled; they laughed at me The cries of vengeance always merciful

"Britannia must be annexed By orders of emperor Nero Under the prudent guidance of Seneca" You raped my children And you had me flogged You broke the treaty And spat on the kings will Betrayer of all things sacred Your eagles bathe in sin of blood and lust... Immortal... enemy... Tribal chants of unity Celtic warriors under the sun Lift the queen of the Iceni Knower of the oak tree Above the lakes and mountains Can you hear the war cries Can you feel the spirit rise Can you hear the war cries Can you hear the spirit rise The winds of war calls the spirit of ancients Alliances broken by conflict and grace Swim through the blood of the fallen Celts To rise into battle of foreign invaders The river flows eternal The gods whisper the sacred hymns Nature's way of liberation Through the eyes of fire The river flows eternal The god's whisper the sacred hymns Nature's way of liberation Through the eyes of fire Piercing wounds of fatal blows Columns of bodies fall to death Windfall of screams point to the skies The resurrection of courage aligned War... War... War "Let us, therefore, go against them Trusting boldly to good fortune. Let us show them that they are hares and foxes Trying to rule over dogs and wolves"

Like madness running through their veins Bloodthirsty to avenge the occupiers Riddled with hate The allied Iceni came roaring through the land Cut through the Roman habitants Boudicca with fire in her eyes The taste of blood, none shall live None shall escape, all shall perish 9th at Camulodonum, behold the eagle of Rome 9th at Camulodonum, the grip of death awaits 9th at Camulodonum, legion at the hands of hell 9th at Camulodonum, the slaughter of the brave Bеheaded vetеrans of Rome, civilians disfigured and butchered Merciless attacks of the tribes, blood running through the stones of time General Quintus Cerialis, commander of the 9th legion With thousands of men ready to die From Colonia set forth the liberation and re-instate the Roman glory Distant are the graves, distant are the cries of help Attacks came from everywhere, they came from all sides Like wild animals unearthing the afterlife, dismantled... The sounds of the dying resonate 9th at Camulodonum, behold the eagle of Rome 9th at Camulodonum, the grip of death awaits 9th at Camulodonum, legion at the hands of hell 9th at Camulodonum, the slaughter of the brave

It was a calm night The eerie sound of distant wolves Made themselves heard into the night It was as if Romulus himself tried to warn the gods At the Circus Maximus The darkened smoke came alive The crows roam over with death in sight The fire burns the flesh Rise to witness the art of decadence Listen to the music of Hell and these strings come to harmony It burns the earth, It burns the soul... The fire rages The distant sounds of fear Oh what art you witnessed today Can you see the golden palace? Hear my fiddle sing... the hymns of sorrow... There's only one possible culprit for such atrocities to Rome Christianus The sect of lies and deceit And for this they must be punished with death and fire Rise to witness the art of decadence Listen to the music of Hell and these strings come to harmony Hear my fiddle sing the hymns of sorrow It burns the earth It burns the soul The fire rages The distant sounds of fear Oh what art you witnessed today Can you see the golden palace? Hear my fiddle sing The hymns of sorrow

Seneca, tell me, can an emperor be an actor? But I love it, music is the way to the soul It gives me freedom from this prison It makes me fly to the world The plebs, they love me They want to hear me sing These rich filthy animals These so called senators They repel me They want to see me lay in a pool of blood, my blood I Nero will skin them alive And feed them to their wives Oh can you hear the scrеams of anguish Hear them perish I'll wеar their faces at the gatherings I'll dance with their bodies and play music with their bones An ever flowing stream of blood, as I dine in laughter Come forth, kneel before me, I am the emperor I will not be merciful Piso, here is the knife Plunge it in your soul Die, traitor, die I'll wear their faces at the gatherings I'll dance with their bodies and play music with their bones An ever-flowing stream of blood, as I dine in laughter I am the son of the deified And you shall feel my wrath
