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 paralysed.
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!
Tonight is the night!
The city sweats fever
from the filth in her womb,
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 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 paralysed.
Now I drown in a loss
worth fighting for.
Black is my heart!
Black is my heart!
Black is my heart!
I am nemesis...
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 paralysed.
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!
Tonight is the night!
The city sweats fever
from the filth in her womb,
shifts like the season's
unease at the hands of doom.
Restless inside!
Her split underbelly

Ashes ember fires rise,

Now I drown in a loss

Black is my heart!
Black is my heart!
Black is my heart!
I am nemesis...
