Cradle Of Filth - Nemesis Lyrics






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

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
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

    I had already mounted and dismounted the CoF train by the time this album came out, but this was always one of my favorites from this wholly underrated group.

    Dani really gets a totally undeserved bad reputation. Even if you dislike his style you have to appreciate how well-crafted the lyrics are.

  22. S.... o....

    i'm SATAN and there's nothing wrong with me

  23. S.... M....

    UnRed is my heart.
    Must be green.
    It's black.

    S.... M....

    Buried in a (sic) empty hole.
    Shit comes from the heart... In case you didn't know why the symbol of the heart looks like an ass. ♥️ doG style.

    It's the donkey of the University.

    Blah blah blah blah blah black

    S.... M....

    Flushed?
    Them some red cheeks boy.

    S.... M....

    Lord of Flies
    Shit cradle

  24. A.... ....

    Angela from Arch Enemy contributed to the lyrics... Wow

    A.... ....

    No she didnt neither did the amott brothers. Arch Enemy have a song NEMESIS clearly an error

  25. H.... P....

    Sounds like Death \m/

    H.... P....

    Budget store death but still sick \M/

  45. m.... j....

    Nemesis of retardation fact

  46. M.... A....

    Epic album! These guys were the shit! These lyrics seem to represent a dual meaning, a story of revenge and true revolution, it reminds me of PreSoviet Russia for some reason, the idea of burning the hedonism of the western world down to replace it with a new disorder of black hearted men.

  47. G.... J....

    Nekrogoblicunts need to learn their fucking history!

    both Danni and Chuck schuldiner of death were, are and will be ever pure modern day poets with no reviles

    R.... S....

    Um, yes cradle of filth is a band with a lot of talent and they put alot of effort into every song/ album they make, dani is a genius indeed, but can we really compare them to Death? Its like comparing a country band to a jazz band, they are completely different, one is more traditional to its genre than the other.

    R.... S....

    Robert Swickard well dani at least

    R.... S....

    xNapalmType he was comparing their creativity which is completely fine to do between any genre lol

    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

    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
    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
