Paroles de Seneca's Trick Mirror

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 killing everything in sight.

i let my curiosity get the best of me.

i saw the source-less anger eating at him from inside.
quinine's bitter.

sugar's sweet.



and blood will run through the streets of Rome today,

and roll across the ocean.
