Nemesis
The roads are dark all over town. Still the wise men sing
It's the chilling shadows all around
Oh they're haunting me
Nemesis
Like the cork in the bottle becomes the wine in the sand
The same situation it plays, it plays, into the
Benefactor that breaks you down
You're like the motherfucking, self-righteous
Priest with the demon stare stealing your soul
Just a minute at a time as he takes your control.
He lets the blood bleed hot as his heart runs cold
But he's a part of you and he screams
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
Heed not the coated words of a charlatan
Heed not the words on your screen
The politician poster child who's politicking
LET THERE BE BLOOD ON THE STREETS
You are not just figure, a victim, a ghost in the machine
Rolled out to fit the needs of society
You're something more, something deep, something real
Don't let them tell you what you are supposed to be
Give voice to a new ideal
Raise your eyes to the sky with your fists held high
Give voice to your dreams like a choir
Shout it loud
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
The world, it breaks us down
It takes what we are and leaves us numb.
It all becomes too much
The weight of my words upon my mind
It all becomes too much
We are not hollow. And you are not alone
This is not a question of fate... you don't have a destiny
It's time to break to break on free of your nemesis
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
It's the chilling shadows all around
Oh they're haunting me
Nemesis
Like the cork in the bottle becomes the wine in the sand
The same situation it plays, it plays, into the
Benefactor that breaks you down
You're like the motherfucking, self-righteous
Priest with the demon stare stealing your soul
Just a minute at a time as he takes your control.
He lets the blood bleed hot as his heart runs cold
But he's a part of you and he screams
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
Heed not the coated words of a charlatan
Heed not the words on your screen
The politician poster child who's politicking
LET THERE BE BLOOD ON THE STREETS
You are not just figure, a victim, a ghost in the machine
Rolled out to fit the needs of society
You're something more, something deep, something real
Don't let them tell you what you are supposed to be
Give voice to a new ideal
Raise your eyes to the sky with your fists held high
Give voice to your dreams like a choir
Shout it loud
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
The world, it breaks us down
It takes what we are and leaves us numb.
It all becomes too much
The weight of my words upon my mind
It all becomes too much
We are not hollow. And you are not alone
This is not a question of fate... you don't have a destiny
It's time to break to break on free of your nemesis
I'm your... Nemesis
Nemesis
