Nemesis

Cradle Of Filth
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!

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 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 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!

Nemesis!
