Nemesis

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
