Nero's Fiddle Lyrics

(?)
It has always been a dream
Of mine to watch you drop
Like one million freezing flies

Psychopathic
My mathematic
Always sums to zero

Population
Your equation
Always equals hero

Burn
Burn

So the fruits of your labors have fermented into wine
And the sweat that you dripped is now the honey of the hive
The city is a burning sun and I a blooming flower

The fire
The flame
The passion
The power
Burn
Burn

And here the kindling lead us in
The fruits of your labors have fermented into wine
And the sweat that you dripped is now the honey of the hive
The city is a burning sun and I a blooming flower

The fire
The flame
The passion
The power
Burn
Burn

The fire
The flame
The passion
The power

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm sorry but I just couldn't make out the first line of the song.

Otherwise, it seems pretty obvious that it's about the Roman emperor Nero.
