Nemesis
Wolfheart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Retaliator born from a wrath
And raised by a rage
Courageous and fearless with vengeance ahead
Retribution ferocious and dire, hatred like fire
Ignite the flames of detest
And with strength ablaze

Rise, no kneeling or repentance
No self sacrifice
It's eye for an eye
Blood for blood, wounds and scars
From suffering into submission towards
Total reprisal

Desecration with no remorse
Violate and defile the ones
Who spilled the blood of the innocents
Acts so dreadful and vile
Sacrilegious deed
Sin against the life
Sacred and hallowed
I am the nemesis
I'm the destroyer
I'm eternal fire

With strength I burn
In fire of wrath I am reborn

Rise, no kneeling or repentance
No self sacrifice
It's eye for an eye
Blood for blood. wounds and scars
From suffering into submission towards
Total reprisal

Rise, no self sacrifice
No kneeling or repentance
It's eye for an eye
Blood for blood




From suffering into submission
Towards total reprisal
