Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight is the night
The empowering wind that draws breath from despite
Roars 'neath my wings as I soar with the end in sight
[Verse 2]
Choirs ignite
A swansong for Leda, deathknells for Troy
Tragedy blooms from one act
I am Nemesis
[Verse 3]
Poured in my arms
When my daughter's eyelids closed
I swore to slaughter those who stole
My ray of moonlight
[Verse 4]
So strike up the skies
The diction of thunder
God-given rites
No fiction can deafen the fact
I am Nemesis
[Verse 5]
Cowled in utter grief
I am the priest of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Bears a hatred for the western world
[Verse 6]
There is no compromise
No piped lament to stay the blind
Just a shrike cacophony of war
[Verse 7]
Ashes ember, fires rise
No longer am I paralysed
Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 8]
Tonight is the night
The city sweats fever, the filth in her womb
Shifts like the season's unease at the hands of doom
[Verse 9]
Restless inside
Her split underbelly suitored with flies
Marital bowels now contract
I am Nemesis
[Verse 10]
Poured in my arms
When my daughter's eyelids closed
I swore to slaughter those who stole
My ray of moonlight
[Verse 11]
Never again
Our enemies entertained
I toy at the clasp of her chain
And remember the fight
Fight
[Verse 12]
Cowled in utter grief
I am the priest of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Bears a hatred for the western world
[Verse 13]
There is no compromise
No piped lament to stay the blind
Just a shrike cacophony of war
[Verse 14]
Ashes ember, fires rise
No longer am I Palestined
Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Nemesis
Nemesis
