Nemesis Lyrics

Tonight is the night
The empowering wind that draws breath from despite
Roars 'neath my wings
As I soar with the end in sight

Choirs ignite, a swansong for Leda
Deathknells for Troy
Tragedy blooms from one act
I am nemesis

Poured in my arms
When my daughter's eyelids closed
I swore to slaughter those
Who stole my ray of moonlight

So strike up the skies
The diction of thunder God given rites
No fiction can deafen the fact
I am nemesis

Cowled in the utter grief
I am the priest of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Bears a hatred for the western world

There is no compromise
No piped lament
To stay the blind
Just a shrike cacophony of war

Ashes ember, fires rise
No longer am I paralyzed
Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for

Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis
Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis, nemesis, nemesis

Tonight is the night,
The city sweats fever the filth in her womb
[ Cradle of Filth Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Shifts like the season's unease
At the hands of doom

Restless inside
Her split underbelly suitored with flies
Marital bowels now contract
I am nemesis

Poured in my arms
When my daughter's eyelids closed
I swore to slaughter those
Who stole my ray of moonlight

Never again
Our enemies entertained
I toy at the clasp of her chain
And remember the fight

Cowled in utter grief
I am the priest of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Bears a hatred for the western world

There is no compromise
No piped lament to stay the blind
Just a shrike cacophony of war

Ashes ember, fires rise
No longer am I Palestined
Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for

Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis
Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis

Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis
Black is my heart, black is my heart
Black is my heart, I am nemesis, nemesis, nemesis

Tonight is the night
The empowering wind that draws breath from despite
Roars 'neath my wings
