- "Come, repent."
- ―Nemesis Sudou[src]
The Muzzle of Nemesis is a song released by Akuno-P on August 8, 2014. It is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Wrath, and was included in an album with the same name.
Plot
The song begins with Nemesis Sudou approaching a man and pointing her gun at him. She thinks of her mother as she recalls all the events that led to her seeking revenge against the man. Saying goodbye to "Mr. Père Noël", she offers him the choice of dying by the fire burning the house or a gunshot. Nemesis then proposes he give back his entire fortune to be spared, only for the man, Gallerian Marlon, to snap that he wouldn't do so. Thinking back on her childhood, Nemesis notices the man comforting his Doll and declares him mad, remarking on how the man's true daughter died long ago. Bidding her father farewell, she wonders why her mother loved such a man as she prepares to shoot him.
Lyrics
罪深き男よ
さあ 懺悔なさい
ねえ母さん 私ね 今
人に銃口を向けているの
たくさんの人を陥れて
私腹を肥やした悪い奴よ
この男のために私は
愛した人さえその手にかけた
次に自分自身も撃ったけれど
死ぬことはできなかった
復讐の時は来たれり
さあ 懺悔なさい
Hello and good-bye 『Mr.Pere Noel』
家にも火を付けたわ どちらか選びなさい
眉間を撃ち抜かれるか
この業火の中 燃え尽きるかを
ねえ母さん どんな悪党にも
贖罪のチャンスは与えるべきでしょ？
だからね私 彼にこう言ったの
「あなたの財産を手放しなさい
全てを奪った人に返せば命だけなら助けてあげる」
彼は答えた
「私の財産 貴様なんぞには 決して渡さない」
どうしようもないクズね
やっぱり懺悔なさい
Hello and good-bye 『Master Of The Court』
欲に溺れきった悪徳裁判官
人々と私の怒りをその身に浴びて
眠りなさい
ねえ母さん あなたは私を
女手一つで育ててくれた
生まれたのは森の廃屋
父の顔などしらなかった
ねえ母さん 父さんはもう
駄目みたいだよ 狂っているわ
人形を義姉さんだと思い込んでいる
あの人はもうとっくに
暗い海底 沈んでいった
もう娘はこの私一人だけなのに
ねえ父さん 私を見てよ
私の事も見てよ
Hello and good-bye⋯good-bye 『My Father』
殺し屋の元締 悪徳裁判官
ねえ母さん どうしてあなたはこんな人を
愛したの？
これで本当に終わりよ
全てを最後にしましょう
罪深き悪の物語よ
さようなら
さようなら
愛しい人
憎んだ人
罪深き男よ
さあ 懺悔なさい

Sinful man
Come, repent
Hey mother, right now
I’m aiming the muzzle of my gun at a man
A son of a bitch who ruined many people
And filled his own pockets
For the sake of this man, I
Even killed the one I loved
And then I shot myself too, but
I couldn’t die
The time has come for my revenge, so
Come, repent
Hello and good－bye 「Mr. Pere Noel」
Your house has been set on fire; select either path:
Will your brow be shot through?
Or will you burn up inside this hellfire?
Hey mother, any scoundrel
Should be granted a chance for atonement, right?
Therefore I said this to him: “Relinquish your fortune to me
“If you pay back the people from whom you stole everything, if you have just your life, I shall save you”
He replied
“I will never hand over my fortune to the likes of you”
You’re trash that can’t be helped huh?
Even so, repent
Hello and good-bye 「Master of the Court」
A corrupted judge drowned in greed
Let mine and the people’s hatred wash over your body
Then sleep
Hey mother, you labored on your own
To raise me
I was born in a deserted house in the forest
I didn’t even know my father’s face
Hey mother, it seems father is
Already done for, he’s insane
He’s convinced the doll is my older half-sister
She had already sunken
To the dark bottom of the ocean long ago
I’m now his only daughter, but
Hey father, look at me
Look at me too!
Hello and goodbye…goodbye「My father」
The boss of hitmen, a corrupted judge
Hey mother, why would you love
Such a man?
With this it’s truly over
Let’s make everything end
This story of sinful evil
Farewell
Goodbye, the one I love
The one I hate
Sinful man
Come, repent

Trivia
Conceptualization and Origin
- Nemesis is the goddess in Greek mythology who carried out retribution against those who did evil deeds and obtained undeserved fortunes.
- The song's English title, "Satan's Revenge", is a reference to Satan, the patron demon of Wrath; it also refers to Nemesis' act of getting revenge on Gallerian, as portrayed in the song.
- When first conceptualizing the song, mothy had planned for the story to portray the entire life of its central character, Nemesis, but realized later on that the song would be too large; he also admitted the issue caused a delay in the song's release schedule.[1]
- While commenting on the song's creation, mothy stated that it was a process of trial and error and that the final song was nothing like the initial version, having eventually decided it was too bloated and cut down on its content.[2]
- Prior to the song's announcement, mothy posted a poem entitled "Nemesis" with allusions seemingly reflecting characters, places, or events in the Evillious Chronicles; at the end of the poem, mothy stated it was a late night work and didn't have any meaning.[3]
- On twitter, mothy posted a twit sound titled "the muzzle of a gun" for a period of time, featuring an instrumental sample for a future song;[4] despite the name similarity, the sample itself used a different instrumental from The Muzzle of Nemesis.
- The revolver used in the song PV is based on the design of a Colt Python revolver.[5]
Curiosities
- At the beginning of the song PV, a timeline involving the birth of Hänsel and Gretel, the Levianta Catastrophe, and all the major events involving the Seven Deadly Sins leading up to the song is rushed through.
- Like the other songs in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, the song begins with the phrase "さあ" (Saa) after the singer addresses the "sinful man" following the timeline sequence.
- Towards the climax of the song PV, the screen flashes phrases and images related to other songs; the phrases include "And Then the Girl Went Mad", "Abandoned" twice, "The Last Revolver", "Judgment of Corruption", and "Master of the Hellish Yard".
- Similar to the Judgment of Corruption PV, after Ma appears, a tunnel is being fallen through towards the end, with five colored rings along the tunnels of the walls; each ring is the color of the Deadly Sin representing it, excluding greed and wrath, and appears in the song series' chronological order.
- During the ending instrumental in the song PV, illustrations for each of the other six characters featured in their representative song in the series appear in reverse chronological order; afterwards, all six line up with the six shots in Nemesis' gun cylinder that's pointed at the viewer before fading away.
- The illustrations are supposed to mirror Hieronymus Bosch's The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things, sans wrath.[6]
- Humorously, mothy admitted he had uploaded the song on August 8th, the eighth day of the eighth month of the year, by pure coincidence, not noticing the date until shortly before he posted it;[7] Nemesis, the song's central character, happens to have the codename No. 8.
