about

Archenemy was originally written 10 years ago, and was originally released on our first album, Greatest Hits. However this version of the song was never properly worked on in a recording studio, despite the fact that we still have been playing it live a full decade later.
This year we decided to invest in re-recording the song, using money earned from our past releases. We are thrilled with how it turned out & had a great time working with the staff at Origin Road once again!

lyrics

LYRICS:

Holding the weight of the world on my shoulders
Yet still they ask more of me
Taking things into my own hands
I am justice, retribution for the victims and the deceived

Woah Woah Woah
Woah Woah Woah
Down I fall, can't you see?
You are my archenemy
My downfall is coming around

Another late night, another deadly fight
Still I got the better of him
Now there's more evil waiting around the corner
I fear the greater good will never win

Read the headlines, front page
I have saved the world once again
Replay last night a million times,
It's the same thing will it ever end?
Will it ever end?
