VNV Nation - Nemesis Lyrics






Everybody wants to live in a lie
But why should we delude ourselves?
It's not as if we can't see something's wrong
Where's the duty to what's right?
Intentions end with empty words
And chaos replaces order

Those who shout the loudest impose their will
Upholding laws that serve the few
Declaring peace while the sirens sing
In the name of progress, the name of madness
Drum beats faster, crowd shouts louder
And chaos replaces order

I want justice for the voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming soon enough

Because Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming soon enough

I want justice for the voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming

I want justice for the voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because Judgement Day's not coming
Judgement Day's not coming soon enough

Soon enough

VNV Nation Nemesis Comments
  1. J.... K....

    Chilling song. Regarding the interpretation it is good to know that VNV stands for "Victory not vindication". For me the song is a very intense impression of how empathy and desire for justice can if misguided create a destructive and tyrannical mindset... "VINDICATION for every suffering and hurt. Let RETRIBUTION hold DOMINION over earth."

  2. m.... k....

    Love it.

  3. j.... m....

    EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. D.... D....

    God bless you VNV Nation, this song has touched my heart forever. Ever since I first listened to it in 2007, I say Judgement Day can’t come soon enough! I love you VNV, God be with you always!!!!!

  5. E.... M....

    *Music starts*
    Me: This could be a boss' fight theme
    *looks at the name of the song*
    OH

  6. A.... ....

    If There Is Something Wrong, Then Whatever It Is, We Must Fight For Justice.

  7. o.... ....

    Good musik

  8. R.... V....

    33 thank you for all that you are

  9. �.... �....

    СИЛЬНО, ЗАБОЙНО, КАЧЕСТВЕННО ...
    I love SYNTHPOP & FUTUREPOP, EBM
    style music !!! 😎🤗🤔
    меломан master DM

  10. J.... E....

    The first VNV song I ever heard. Same sampler I heard my first Assemblage 23 song 'sorry'. been hooked ever since.

  11. C.... G....

    "Judgment day's not coming, soon enough". This is like tool's anima, "...the only way they'll listen is if we flush it all away". If "they" would listen. This song and "Tomorrow Never Comes" is something that would snap people into the reality we face. Unless we become Jon Travolta in Battlefield Earth, robbing other planets for their resouces, when Mother Earth, provides everything as long as we take care of her.

  12. D.... D....

    long time ago :O , good memories VNV Nation ,

  13. N.... ....

    Classic song
    The political tones to this song apply even today, sadly

    (Oh hey I commented on here over a year ago, cool)

  14. M.... ....

    This is the song where id play it for the world to hear if we found out an asteroid Half the size of the earth were to hit us, id be like hahaha to all you fucking happy, controlling and celebrities cause no amount of money or power on Earth can stop this shit! Now you feel my loneliness, my pain, my lack of hope to a morbid future haha!

  15. v.... ....

    The beginning sounds like classic EBM.

    v.... ....

    My thoughts totally....Old School EBM.

    v.... ....

    videopibedelosabados join in the chant

  16. F.... O....

    More and more relevant by the day.

    F.... O....

    relevant at every time

  17. h.... ....

    it is remind me loosing my religion by rem

  18. T.... ....

    Oh god the memories <3

  19. N.... ....

    If I frequented clubs (or ever went to a club) and I was any good at dancing, and this song came on, I would jam out like there was no tomorrow. Sadly, I don't frequent clubs and my dancing skills are abysmal at best. For now, I'm content with jamming out inside my head. :)

    N.... ....

    @Mega Trouble You and me should jam out in our respective houses x

    N.... ....

    No problem about abysmal dancing skills. When in a night club, if you're not there to pick up girls, have fun.

    N.... ....

    I just dance, most likely looking the fool...but I am enjoying myself and that is all that matters.

    N.... ....

    The answer is drugs. Thank me later.

    Lit song, unfortunately still politically relevant

  21. p.... ....

    I only wish this album was available in my country (Australia :( ) it's not available here so I can't listen to this awesome shit without doing some probably less then legal stuff that I wouldn't do due to the fact that these guys don't get money from it

    p.... ....

    @pkisbest U may buy the mp3.

    p.... ....

    Amazon? Metropolis Records?

    p.... ....

    try to go to one of their concerts. They're PHENOMENAL live, if not better than in the studio (somehow), and that's where most musicians make the money anyway.

    p.... ....

    David Gustafson I live in Australia...

  33. k.... s....

    Very happy song

  34. X.... f....

    .... like it .... or die .... ;D

  35. k.... ....

    great idea!

  36. J.... S....

    good song

  37. L.... F....

    F***ing love it

  38. J.... C....

    This would be an excellent theme song for a movie about the Next American Civil War. The Class War , which set off WWIII the Great Class War (The Fall of the Elitists)

  39. W.... ....

    Anyone who uses the word 'retarded' as a derogatory for social justice has no concept of the kind of suffering that comes from being so despised that mere association with is grounds for ridicule. Some people are in to social oligarchism and smothering people unwilling to stand up to them. Are you one of them?

    W.... ....

    Wolvenmoon shut up emo

  40. J.... S....

    I love this track!

  41. S.... ....

    The concept of social justice is retarded.

    S.... ....

    SPQRCincinnatus ur retarded, whinny little bitches should not get their way just because they are the only ones willing to throw a fit to get their way. It's getting more apparent with these gender challenged people. Why an entire school break all it's rule because a 7yo boy wants to be a girl. That's called bad parenting, if you want to give your child that kind of freedom, you do it without inconveniencing others. Death to all "privileged".

  42. b.... ....

    EBM-song of the best kind, VNV rules!

  43. B.... ....

    Settle down while VNV is playing Nemesis... that guy should go to a retirement home for elderly people. ;-)

  44. E.... ....

    Anders from Dragon Age 2 :(

  45. L.... ....

    My first thought was Mass Effect xDD

  46. s.... ....

    Not just for the credits, but for the entire movie.

  47. K.... ....

    I thought that about a Game (like Mass Effect) ;)

  48. T.... ....

    Someone at a VNV Nation concert told you to settle down? Does not compute!

  49. v.... ....

    @BlackRat1976 I went ballistic to this in Seattle. Nobody else did. Someone told me to settle down, I informed him that we were at a dance party

  50. S.... ....

    when this started playing, only 2 words came to mind...
    BOSS BATTLE

  51. B.... ....

    I went totally ballistic on this yesterday LIVE @ bibelot in Dordrecht the Netherlands...
    My voice is totally wasted right now, and so are my legs, but what a night!!!

  52. H.... 0....

    This should be the theme song to this year. 2012!!

  53. m.... ....

    i was listening and dancing to this on the supposed "judgement day" last year having a real blast lolol =P I love this song and I love VNV and they're epic live :D

  54. A.... ....

    @Hornet0biker I've found their song "Electronaut" to be especially good workout music, I would listen to it right before a track meet and perform better each time :P

  55. h.... ....

    JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING AND ITS CALLED OCCUPY (A)

  56. A.... ....

    @Hornet0biker it's on my ipod playlist for the bike lol. Gofast music for sure.

  57. H.... ....

    Music to ride like a bastard to...

  58. D.... C....

    @MyBackDoorWalk same here... Very powerful message and beat.

  59. L.... ....

    My favorite song, always gets me amped up to fight the good fight!

  60. K.... S....

    @wwe138 Are you wondering if there's another synthpop/futurepop/industrial band that has a political message? London After Midnight sure does.

  61. r.... ....

    @wwe138 Imperative Reaction's album Minus All album is full of it... Blue Stahli has a bit, but it's mostly about commercialism and voyeurism. NIN's Year Zero is also good, as another person recommended.

  62. M.... K....

    so sexy!

  63. M.... K....

    Eargasm?

  64. h.... ....

    @KilvianBjot yes yes yes! they're also working on making a tv show based on the album, so hopefully it won't turn to shit.

  65. K.... P....

    Great song, awesome lyrics.
    Pretty sure I got it from "Fuck The Mainstream"

  66. s.... ....

    @wwe138 KMFDM

  67. P.... A....

    does someone know a band which has also like in this song politic messages in the electro/industrial sector?

  68. c.... ....

    Dark Angel is my favorite

  69. J.... B....

    I like Electronaut and this best. :P

  70. M.... ....

    Oh I like this.

  71. S.... A....

    i like it

  72. L.... W....

    I WANT JUSTICE FOR THE VOICE THAT CAN'T BE HEARD

  73. E.... H....

    that's a BOLD statement: "Judgment Day's not coming soon enough."

  74. R.... ....

    This is a fitting song for today!

  75. M.... P....

    @telinit5 Based on one of their other tracks 'Savior (vox)' that is exactly how I interpret this song.

  76. W.... ....

    @telinit5 I don't. I interpret it as social justice. "Laws that only serve a few", "justice for all the voices that aren't heard", etc.

  77. J.... T....

    @Garuvul tottaly agree something in the vain of Warhammer 40k or Space Above and Beyond

  78. W.... ....

    @HodgePodge218 Ending credits to any action movie, really, or any apocalyptic alien invasion. I personally can see humans vs aliens with both races just butchering each other in an endless cycle of vengeance and this playing during the ending as they get to mutual extinction.

  79. D.... ....

    @MyBackDoorWalk Agreed =]

  80. c.... ....

    @MyBackDoorWalk

    Electronaut is pretty good too (kinda hard to choose form both :)

  81. d.... ....

    sorry folks changed how i define this tune, now added to my alternative industrial new wave playlist

  82. d.... ....

    wow, wow, wow, wow I am huge fan of VNV Nation, this is the sound i was looking for NEW WAVE INDUSTRIAL SYNTH FUNK well done, keep up good work this sound is hot

  83. m.... ....

    "Judgment" is the proper spelling, but I do like this song regardless.

  84. l.... ....

    The one guy who didn't like this video is messed up in his brain ^^

  85. g.... ....

    @MWigandr ya that part owns

  86. B.... ....

    I especially liked the part from 0.00 - 4:32

  87. n.... ....

    This song always reminded me of Batman driving the Bat mobile.

  88. W.... ....

    Is judgement day coming soon enough ?

  89. s.... ....

    Apparently one person accidentally clicked dislike button.

  90. S.... ....

    @StrykerA238 He's Irish... Mark Jackson VNV's drummer is British...

  91. a.... ....

    Though I've known about these guys, this is the first time I've listened to them. Pretty awesome.

  92. k.... ....

    @carnosaur93 heres why justin beiber disliked this though, hes too low of a standard for VNV nations singer.

  93. S.... ....

    @StrykerA238 I fucking love you for that comment.

  94. H.... B....

    i love this song. my man and i both saw them in concert!!!

  95. b.... ....

    @carnosaur93 wow im stupid. lol!

  96. c.... ....

    @basketballgirl224
    umm.... as far as i know the lead-singer of "VNV"-nation is actually gay... witch makes what you just said extremely ironic :P ...

    but yeah... down with bieber! xP

  97. c.... c....

    justin bieber disliked this song

  98. G.... ....

    @Nagneto

    makes me think of old school Nitzer ebb :)

  99. M.... ....

    three years later and it's still valid.

    Let retribution hold dominion over Earth!
