Tonight is the night The empowering wind that draws breath from despise Roars ‘neath my wings as I soar with the end in sight C.h.o.i.r.s 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 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
