Avenged Sevenfold: Roman Sky Meaning

Roman Sky Lyrics

As the embers rose through the Roman Sky
Tell me, were you calm when they took your life?

Just before you go, tell us how the heavens flow
Weightless evermore, as you walk beyond that door
Shine forever true

Shared with us the world well...

   I simply quote the sayings of JWard515 on Reddit, because he put it in such a great way that I couldn't have done better.
   
   "This is my favorite ballad they've ever done. The story to the song is really interesting too. It's about Giordano Bruno, who was an astronomer, philosopher and mathematician who was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600 on charges of heresy after basically saying some of the Catholic doctrines were bull.
   
   As he was being sentenced by the judges to death, he said "perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it." which is where the line "as they spoke your fate, a fearless man replied: 'as you will sentence me, your fear is beyond mine' ". Really fucking cool. These guys never cease to amaze me."

   I love this song it is one of my favs my take on the song is about our society today where people are being murdered for what they believe and all the fear that we have in the world today if you listen really carefully you will see what I am talking about I don't think that they realize what they wrote

   To me, my own thoughts not knowing anything about the aboved mentioned, was that this was about Jesus Christ.And it definitely could be due to the way the lyrics align up with his crucifixion... Just my first take on it.
