Nero

I heard a voice whisper: "Transfigure all;

You're burning down the city

Just to build it up again"

I have a dream to stand up tall, immortalized

I build a statue that will stand eternity

Divine intervention has brought me to the throne

The emperor sees through an actors eyes

The show goes on

A new beginning... let's play

All of the world's my stage

In my mind there are vast plans impending

And when aligned a new world will rise

My secret friend has been aiding me, to find a way

Through our cosmic intercourse

Don't be afraid now!

Wake up from confusion!

Stay the course thought!

I am here, the Gods are not

I'm not the one who's in need of protection

The gods need aid from me

All his work is delayed

The funds are running few

Employing his last resort

He launches a suicide campaign

When the dark cloaks a traitor

And the "busy bees" employs

Then, the vanquish of the senate will begin

A foe of the state and an emperor of his dreams

And so he prepares his suicide

"The world will lose the greatest artist that lived"

Echoes his words today

Five birds are flying past unfertile soil

Then circling by a lifeless emperor

They separate their ways; its a sign

Like waves are approaching the coastline

His life pulls closer to the end

The tyrant's reign is at its ending
