Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m homing in on target
I'm breaking down your door
I′m closing in on your position
Get ready for:

This soon recurring duel
We've been through this before
We've got a score to settle
It′s down to you and me again

Nemesis
Come out and fight me

No use in stalling
Your minions, falling
The challenge is calling
For failure, obligation
C′mon

Stand up and prepare for confrontation
(Nemesis)
Habitual pact of mutual devastation

Stand up and prepare for confrontation
(Nemesis)
Habitual pact of mutual devastation

I'm in your base,
Playing with corrosives
I′m in your plant,
Sabotaging your machinery
I'm in your HQ,
Priming explosives
It′s down to you and me

Stand up and prepare for confrontation
(Come out and fight me)
Stand up and prepare for devastation

Stand up and prepare for confrontation

Stand up and prepare for devastation

Throughout the song, the singer speaks directly to their nemesis, encouraging them to come out and fight. The lines, "No use in stalling, Your minions, falling, The challenge is calling," suggest that the singer is aware that their nemesis may be hesitant to confront them.
