Nemesis
Arch Enemy (Swe) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With fire in our hands
Eye for an eye
We are nemeses
We are with you
On this vicious, oh
Fight, fighting for freedom
We are a legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder
We are enemy
Divided of the system
Crossing democracy
Trading it in this time, yeah
One for all
All for one
We are strong
We are one
One for all
All for one
We are one (nemeses)
A malicious fever burns
In our hearts, In our veins
Your blood, My blood
All blood runs the same, the same
One for all
All for one
We are strong
We are one
One for all
All for one
We are one (nemeses)
We are nemeses
One for all
All for one
We are strong
We are one
One for all
All for one
We are one (nemeses)
The song "Nemesis" by Arch Enemy (Swe) is essentially an anthem for revolution and fighting against oppressive systems. The lyrics open with the image of walking the earth with "fire in our hands," suggesting a passion and intensity for the cause they are fighting for. The next lines "eye for an eye, we are nemeses" continues this theme of retaliation and seeking justice. However, they also make it clear that they are not alone in this endeavor, as they have a group standing with them "fighting for freedom" and "united we stand."
As the song progresses, they describe themselves as a "legion" and the "voice of anarchy," creating "new disorder" as a way to overtake the system. The lines "divided of the system, crossing democracy" suggest that they are taking extreme measures to challenge and change the existing power structures. The chorus reinforces their unity and strength, "one for all, all for one," and "we are strong, we are one."
What makes the song interesting is that it presents the idea of revolution and fighting back against oppressive forces through aggressive, almost violent language, yet the band themselves have stated that they do not promote violence in any way. Instead, they see the song as a call to action and a way to inspire others to stand up and demand change in a peaceful manner.

Revolution Begins (оригинал Arch Enemy)
Революция начинается (перевод Сергей Долотов из Саратова)
Since the day that you were born
С самого дня твоего рождения
The wheels are in motion
Колёса находятся в движении,
Turning ever faster.
Постоянно ускоряя ход.
Play your part in the big machine.
Будь частью большой машины.
The stage is set,
Твоя роль уже написана,
The road is chosen,
Путь выбран,
Your fate preordained.
Твоя судьба предопределена.
We are watching you,
Мы следим за тобой,
Every step of the way.
За каждым твоим шагом.
Never too late
Никогда не поздно
To stand your ground.
Проявить твёрдость.
Revolution begins
Революция начинается
In you, in me.
В тебе, во мне.
Revolution.
Революция.
Once lost, lost in the game
Однажды проиграв, проиграв в этой игре,
Mental chains breaking now.
Цепи, связывавшие разум, теперь разрываются.
Set yourself free.
Освободи себя.
Who are they to tell you what to do?
Кто они такие, чтобы говорить тебе, что делать?
This stage is not set,
Эта роль не написана,
The road is not chosen.
Путь не выбран.
Your fate not preordained.
Твоя судьба не предопределена.
They are losing control
Они теряют контроль
Every step of your way.
За каждым твоим шагом.
Never too late
Никогда не поздно
To stand your ground.
Проявить твёрдость.
Revolutions begins
Революция начинается
In you, in me.
В тебе, во мне.
Revolution.
Революция.
Never too late
Никогда не поздно
To stand your ground.
Проявить твёрдость.
Revolution begins
Революция начинается
In you, in me.
В тебе, во мне.
This is revolution.
Это революция.
Revolution.
