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 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 pipe lament to say the blind

Just a shrike cacophony of war

Ashes, ember, fire rise

No longer am I paralysed

Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for

Black is my heart

I am 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 pipe lament to say the blind

Just a shrike cacophony of war

Ashes, ember, fire rise

No longer am I paralysed

Now I drown in a loss worth fighting for

Black is my heart

I am Nemesis
