Nemesis
Stratovarius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night turns to dawn
The city’s left behind
Those who’ve been blind they will be saved
White stripes on the road they’re guiding my way
Reciting my prayers the road is paved

Through all the years I’ve carried the flame
In the darkest nights as the lightning strikes
I’m bringing hope to those who walk in the shadows

As I drive alone
My mission is unknown
Will it be revealed for me
Cause now, I’m calling out for...

Power—streaming through me
I will let out the angel or the beast
This power—will make you see
As the lightning strikes your pain will be released

Free me—that’s what I hear you
Screaming—in misery
Free me—from this pain while
Screaming—kneel before mighty
Power—my power
This power—my power

(solos)

Calling out for...

Power—streaming through me
I will let out the angel or the beast
This power—will make you see
As the lightning strikes your pain will be released

This power—streaming through me
I will let out the angel or the beast
This power—will make you see
As the lightning strikes your pain will be released

Free me—that’s what I hear you
Screaming—in misery
Free me—from this pain while
Screaming—kneel before mighty
Power—my power
This power—my power

Mighty power
This power




My power
My power...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stratovarius's song "Nemesis" tell the story of a wanderer who is guiding lost and blind souls towards redemption. The singer is driving alone, following the white stripes on the road, reciting his prayers, and carrying the flame of hope for those who walk in the shadows. As he calls out for power, he becomes aware of a force that is streaming through him, and he must choose to let out either his angel or his beast. This power he possesses will make others see, and their pain will be released as the lightning strikes.


The themes in these lyrics suggest a journey of self-discovery and purpose. The singer's mission is still unknown, and he is searching for a purpose beyond himself. His power is both a blessing and a curse, for it could either bring peace to those in need or cause chaos and destruction if unleashed recklessly. The lyrics are about the need for balance between light and dark, and the importance of finding one's true calling in life.

No I totally agree. This album is on their YouTube library now but they are still missing Elements Pts 1&2, Elysium because for some reason they uploaded the demos and not the actual finished songs, and Eternal

Fish Gangsta YTPs
