Burned To Serve As Nocturnal Light

Ex Deo

Plague... the Christian plague
Invades the empire and threatens the sun
Insults to the pagan gods
Means punishment by death
A disease that eats away, 
the core of existence
Persecution is the only way
To rule without decay

The gardens of Nero,
Illuminated with the flesh
Burn... Burn... 
Burn... Burn...
Rome burns... 
With the flesh...
With the blood

The gardens of Nero,
Illuminated with the flesh

Gather the men, 
look through the streets
Under the bridges 
and inside their homes
Flay the resistance, 
impale the leaders
Bring me the fire, 
burn them alive!
Burn them alive!

Burn... Burn... 
Burn... Burn...
Rome burns... 
With the flesh...
With the blood
