Nemesis Divine

"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. And then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father" – Matthew (13.41, 43) "Remove the prisoner, he will die tomorrow" Solo: Thord Deep down in the cellar, where no sun has ever shined Candlelights casts shadows on the walls The stony walls are whispering tales of death and pain And the silent screams of souls lost in vain In this cell in god’s hell I’m waiting for the dawn Awaiting my final day in life Am I really marked as food for the gods? Or is this all just a wicked game Solo: Thord The night is over and it’s time to watch me die The priest has taken my last rites And the streets are full of kinsmen, shouting out for pain As the magistrate slowly raise his hands Welcome all you lost souls to this trial of the gods Welcome to our nemesis divine We are warriors of faith, protectors of his ways Welcome to this auto-da-fé Solo: Thord Bleeding on a rack of chains Crying just to ease my pain My life is slowly fading away And I feel the madness grows As they lead me to the stake Telling me "embrace your fate" The purifying fire licks my wounded soul This is my nemesis divine And with all that I got left I scream out for revenge And suddenly my mind goes blank Like a phoenix I am rising towards the blackened sky Witness my nemesis divine And I spread my burning wings for one final strike The reckoning day is here for you

I’ve got a contract with the devil I’ve got death right by my side My mission is redemption and the gavel is my scythe For all I care you’re all the same Sinners deep within Begging for salvation from your sins Chorus: I am a soul collector, there’s no escape from me I am death and I will set you free You won’t see me coming, I’m a shadow in the night Swift as thought I wield my blade in rage No remorse and no regrets can ever change my mind Once I get a hold of you you’re dead Chorus: I am a soul collector, there’s no escape from me I am death and I will set you free I am the executor, your life is in my hands By my hand you’ll face eternity Solo: Thord I’ve been to hell and I’m eager to return To feed the furnace one more time Purgatory’s waiting for another soul Your time is up, come on let’s go Repeat Chorus Solo: both

10,000 years since she fell to sleep Yet in the cold wind you can feel her breathe Upon an ivory throne she embraced the sands of time Knowing that one day, the time for her would come Chorus: She is the queen of the damned You’re just a puppet in her hand She’s the lady of the night And as the stars aligns to mars She will come back to us all To raise a kingdom of the damned And as she glanced the moon high above her head She found the power to search into the minds Premonitions of what must be done Knowing that one day the time for he would come Repeat Chorus Solo: Thord One day she will return to execute her plans To make this world her own An act of god she has in store for all of us Against humanity she’ll raise her deadly hands Repeat Chorus

Solo: Thord Behind the lies and false belief There is another way of life So why don’t you try? There’s nothing wrong in living life Don’t be afraid to walk on the line It’s all worth your while Bridge: Just choose your own fate, never kneel before society Raise your hands up high, and scream out loud Chorus: As the world keeps turning we march towards our destiny And on this path in life we’re bound to roam Approaching nightfall, with burning eyes we set the course We’re reaching for the point of no return Nothing’s sacred don’t you see? It’s all up to you and me to reach for our dreams No morning star will guide our way There ain’t no preacher here to say "bow down and obey" Repeat Bridge Repeat Chorus Solo: Thord / both / Thord Repeat Bridge Chorus: As the world keeps turning we march towards our destiny And on this path in life we’re bound to roam Approaching nightfall, with burning eyes we set the course On our journey to the end there’s no return And as night is falling, our journey finally reached it’s end We are at the point of no return

Six days ago I left this world for a better place A different time in another sphere so far from here On a journey I have plunged myself To a land of make believe But little did I know about my fate Chorus: I see myself I am falling from grace And nobody’s catching my fall Lost in this world and I cannot get out Someone please answer my call I roam the streets in this eerie world so close but yet so far Invisible to mortal men, my presence is unknown This can’t be right! What have I done? This wasn’t meant to be Lost in here forever, for all eternity Repeat Chorus Solo: both Repeat Chorus

Everyday of my life I’ve been building it up inside For so long I’ve tried my best to remain sane And I know in my heart that as soon as night is falling The beast inside will rise and take control Chorus: Can’t you see it in my eyes Can’t you see the fire burning Hate is all that’s left Enough to set the world in flames I’ve tried a million times to somehow ease this pain But every fucking time I crash and burn I am standing at the threshold of a never-ending night I’m staring at the gates of hell Repeat Chorus Solo: Peter / Thord / both And now the night is here and every shadow comes to life There’s no way to control this state I’m in And as the burning red is rising And as the flames taste the sky The fire in my eyes shines bright as day Repeat Chorus

At the edge of reason there’s no limit to ones mind Born out of hope, the lie turned treason into gold The man with the power says the future is for all While his other hand gives the command To start a bloody war Fight! Why can’t you see? Trapped under the iron fist Controlling you and me You’re not your own Inside the holy temple miracles are told Born under a lucky star, some people have it all But some will always use you "A tenth is all I ask" And in return you’ll be the one who will lead the holy war Pray! Why can’t you see? Trapped under the iron fist Controlling you and me You’re not your own Chorus: As far as you can see this dream is a reality But your life is in your hands This dream will not set you free Solo: both / Peter / Thord Out in the cold and the dark, I turn my back on you Lost in the cold and the dark, I turn my back on you Your life’s returning you can feel it every day No more lies, no more deceit, you are your own There are things in life you’ve never seen It’s a sinners paradise No more hate, no more guilt, you are your own Fight! Why can’t you see? Trapped under the iron fist Controlling you and me You’re not your own Repeat Chorus Solo: both

Through the wasteland of my soul I’ve been searching for the key To why I’m trapped inside myself When all I want is to be free The mirror shows my face But my eyes reveal the truth Inverted joy of life Lost in a broken dream Chorus: At last I’m free again to cast my shadow on the wall How I’ve longed for this day The colour’s blinding me, I see the world with different eyes It feels like I am born again Solo: Peter / both / Thord From now I’ll never be the one Who’s left behind The fruits of life I’ll reap in joy No more tears left to cry Repeat Chorus

I feel the end, it’s closing in It’s just a feeling I have Maybe it’s to late to wonder why Things went this way Chorus: And now I see the light in front of me This must be the end My life passes slowly before my eyes As I bid life farewell Have no regrets for the things I’ve done ‘cause this is what I believe I will not kneel or crawl for you So just get out of my way, get out of my way Repeat Chorus Solo: Thord Repeat Chorus

Solo: Thord Last night I had a dream, a vision so it seems I saw the world slowly fading away I don’t know what this means or if it’s meant to be But something told me what we have to do Chorus: We will raise the unborn flag To show the world that the time is here This is the dawn of a new age So let us rise from the sea of hate I woke up to a sound, a crack beneath the ground And everything around me seems to fall Is this insanity or can it really be Some sort of message from the other side Repeat Chorus Solo: both / Thord / Peter / Thord / both And now we’re off to war We’ll fight you ‘til the end There is no time to waste, "no time to waste" With fire in our hearts we charge into the night This is our fate Repeat Chorus

Solo: Thord Listen! Hear my warning, it seems a storm is closing in Rising from the depths below A blood red moon is rising as a sign to mark the path Of revolution here on earth "When we reach our judgement day not a sin is left behind" We live our lives through cables, letting go of sanity In search of money, fortune and fame Machines predict our future, yet we never seem to change We’ve isolated mind from heart We’re waging war on neighbours Don’t give a fuck about our kids We feed the green machine in lust But all the money, all the power, that separates our lives Won’t help on the judgement day so bow down And pray, in vain Mother earth is bleeding as we use her everyday Without a thought of consequence We’re making money on pollution Spewing poison in our lakes Without a thought we bring the end We’re ignoring all the warnings Letting greed dictate our lives Building empires to hide the fact That this world has come to it’s end Sending missiles to destruction Another journey through the dark Without a thought we rule the stars Solo: Thord The day now turns to darkness Sulphur clouds eclipse the sun Thunderstorms rip the world apart Humanity is bleeding from the scars self-made by man Oblivious to the bitter end Look to the burning ruins of what life used to be Look to the fields of battle where souls scream in agony No more the end is dawning, we’re left here in misery We’re all victims of the storm of fate, storm of fate

Solo: Peter Under the stars in a foreign land The sound of hooves breaks the still Look to the sky, follow the ravens flight He will lead us on our way Chorus: Here we come, riders of the north And by our side death awaits To all of those who dare to stand in our way We are all warriors from the north A mighty legion from below We’ll steal your heart and soul In the name of the fallen one Rain starts falling on the frozen ground Covering us in the mist Wolfs howl, it’s a sign of prey Soon the war will begin Repeat Chorus Solo: Peter / Thord / Peter / Thord / both "Lo there do I see my father Lo there do I see my mother, and my sisters and my brothers Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning They do call to me, they bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live Forever" – Ancient Viking Prayer Side by side we await the call To arms, for battle, prepare By sword and shield we will conquer all And tame the world by our will Repeat Chorus Solo: both
