A distribution deal was made with Rough Trade Records to bring the new album to music stores in Benelux on October 26, 2007.

Nemesea Lyrics
Believe I still remember The time you told me That I would never …
Broken Every memory Every angry thought of you Makes me certain …
Home I would run a thousand miles Just to see you again I…
In Control Here, in your mind In your dreams I will stay forever You…
Like the Air It won't take long Till she fades away Will she be strong…
Lost Inside I cannot tell you how it feels Here inside my heart…
Never An angry thought runs through my mind It rushes down, stabs…
No More Take my hand, I heard you say Depend on me. Close your eyes…
Remember I hear voices in my head They won't stop haunting me Can't…
The way I feel I cannot seem to reach you Although you're so close now I'…
