Nemesis Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

Tonight is the night 

The empowering wind that draws breath from despite 

Roars â??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 paralyzed 

Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for 

Photos 

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 

Martial 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 

Nemesis
