Dedicated to the memory of:
The martyrs of Rome, 64 A.D.
It was the 18th of July, back in
64
The familiar humid air that night
breathed a smoke it never had before
And as the spark turned to flame,
we felt the blame
The hot wind blew and carried along
the cries of our pain
And he watched his city burn,
in his mind he slowly turned
The plans that he had made for
his golden estate
Shine, midnight light, from
the ground to the sky
Cry, innocent eyes, from our
hearts to the universal mind
From the circus to the bay flaming
crosses lit the way
And the children of the light never
saw the light of day
So the spectacle went on, but we
never lost the truth
Today's blood feeds tomorrow's
grass, but you to us and God to you
Burn in our hearts as the smoke
rises higher
Burn in our spirits like a wild
immortal fire
Burn into our minds this image,
burn it deep
Burn into our lives the one thing
we would die to keep
