I am one with the gods immortal.
I am Nero the artist who creates with fire,
That the dreams of my life may come true.
To the flames now I give the past,
To the flames and soil.
Take thou this Rome,
Oh receive her now, ye flames.
Consume her as would a furnace.
Burn on, oh ancient Rome.
Burn on, burn on!
