** A particular example is Nero, with the band seeming to outright invent several of his crimes. For example, he's accused of ripping out his mother's womb just to see where he came from. In reality he was trying to rid himself of her [[MyBelovedSmother obsessive control over him]] and her death was nowhere near as brutal. The song also repeats the infamous myth that Nero orchestrated the fire of Rome and [[WhileRomeBurns played the lyre as he watched]], as alluded to in the title. He also didn't really [[GroinAttack bite people's genitals off]].
