Seventeen years ago They told me to teach you everything I know I let the fire rain down Rain down Watched it flare up inside his heart Saw it tearing him completely apart Head to toe I know And blood will run Through the streets of Rome today And roll across the ocean Fourteen years ago tonight Watched him tearing through the garden, k**ing everything in sight
I let my curiosity Get the best of me I saw the sourceless anger eating at him from inside No one around him to stem the rising tide Evil from his head down to his feet Quinine's bitter, sugar's sweet And blood will run Through the streets of Rome today And roll across the ocean
