Nemesis
Cradle Of Filth

Tonight is the night

The empowering wind that draws breath from despise

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


The 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

Nemesis

Nemesis


Tonight is the night

The city sweats fever, 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 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
