Bedight, this pre-aestival
Festival drew darkly near
And our delight at its festival
Was a roar to rival loosed Fenrir
Let the Hellish celebrations begin
Ragnarok is rolling, magma abrim
The blackest mass the Brocken has ever seen
Invoking Loki, smoking the red weed
We listen to the Glorification
Of Chernobog in a fog of elation
Denial is the vilest form of blasphemy
Standing on the cliffs that kiss burning winds
We are risen together
Brazen, exalting, a hiss of triumph rings
I am yours
...Yours immortally
Tonight the rites are right for raising spirits on
The Devil's Pulpit, The Witches Altar
The dead will dance macabre
To Chaos Magic psalters
A heavy thunder shadowing lightning
Forged for Judgement Day
Announces greater wonder, citing
Heralds on the starry way
And I held you like St Vitus
As the Sabbat Incept to play
Before the fever swelled to bite us
And we were swept to waylay
May Day
Standing on the cliffs that kiss burning winds
We are rising together
Brazen, exalting, a hiss of triumph rings
I am yours
...Yours immortally
Only those tortured
Could profess such festive scenes
And melodies
Of raucous wrought debauchery
No arthritic, sullen Goya
For this fresh Walpurgis Eve
Our flesh it breathes
Full of fantastic symphnoies
Witness the fires reflected in infernal eyes
That blaze, alive
Eternal ties
Have trussed amazing lusts together
Procession, banquet, black mass, orgy
If our world were to cease right now
In the midst of this
Wide naked bliss, these started scared vows
I would break the universe in two
Just to side with you
To face the jealous heavens down
Excite the terse miscarriage
Of first light that thirsts to slay
This night versed with the marriage
Of you and I
And all who dare to stray
Enshrined In Crematoria lyrics - Cradle of Filth
This night is chilled by ghosts
And the woods are full of werewolves
My heart is pounding with the stars
I feel the darkness rising
I'm blessed, addressed
By a voice of sweet caresses
Intoxication feeds
This freed reality
My inspiration speaks
Enshrined in crematoria
A sight of winged delight
Two great cherubim abreast her
Encase her grave, like once I prayed
Upon her sacred chest there
None more tragic for the lovelorn addict
Than the death of beautiful girl
Although I was the author of sin
That compelled her wings to furl
She represents the pleasant scent
Of asphodel in this wretched world
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Glitters like bright Hittite treasure
At best, obsessed
With her loss and my excesses
Judgementalism heaped
Upon the mercy seat
Means nothing to her sleep
Enshrined in crematoria
The trees are gaunt
But the cemetery beckons
Before her marble colonnades
I fell a stirring in a temple
As Israel waited with bated breath
At the foot of Mount Sinai
So I sated my wait for death
And miracles from on high
In wine and finite poetry
As fires bathed the sky
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Church to her virgin measure
My tethered heart, a sacrificial lamb
Thrashes madly as the Lioness approaches
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Is built on biblical pleasures
In may need for this catharsis
Her dark commandments teach
Through my prolific reach
A taste so bittersweet
Enshrined in crematoria
I find phantasmagoria
Enshrined in crematoria
And the woods are full of werewolves
My heart is pounding with the stars
I feel the darkness rising
I'm blessed, addressed
By a voice of sweet caresses
Intoxication feeds
This freed reality
My inspiration speaks
Enshrined in crematoria
A sight of winged delight
Two great cherubim abreast her
Encase her grave, like once I prayed
Upon her sacred chest there
None more tragic for the lovelorn addict
Than the death of beautiful girl
Although I was the author of sin
That compelled her wings to furl
She represents the pleasant scent
Of asphodel in this wretched world
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Glitters like bright Hittite treasure
At best, obsessed
With her loss and my excesses
Judgementalism heaped
Upon the mercy seat
Means nothing to her sleep
Enshrined in crematoria
The trees are gaunt
But the cemetery beckons
Before her marble colonnades
I fell a stirring in a temple
As Israel waited with bated breath
At the foot of Mount Sinai
So I sated my wait for death
And miracles from on high
In wine and finite poetry
As fires bathed the sky
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Church to her virgin measure
My tethered heart, a sacrificial lamb
Thrashes madly as the Lioness approaches
Announce the presence of God again
The Ark of the Tragedian
Is built on biblical pleasures
In may need for this catharsis
Her dark commandments teach
Through my prolific reach
A taste so bittersweet
Enshrined in crematoria
I find phantasmagoria
Enshrined in crematoria
Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Cracked Mirrors scatter reflection
Beauty falls from Her state of perfection
Good grace has fled this dream
While the Cats away
The Rats will Ravage
Despotic, Necrotic fingers
Have lingered with Rape's Affection
Hoods face this global scene
As they stoop to prey
Nature grows more savage
She shudders at our foetal fatal touch
Heavenly Her body reft
and left amongst the Dead
Once grateful seeds in Her natal hutch
Our species breeds
Deflowering the Maidenhead
Religion caw epistles
Twisted laws extend their thristles
A crown to justify
Our place atop this hellbound carriage
This judgment has come from on high
Deforesters pray to the amplified sky
stripped of Her gowns
Temples ripped down
Her curses hearse NOW
This judgment has come from on high
Look at Her spears
With true fear in your eyes
Summoning the coven
The four horsemen eschaton
She the sumptuous Earth
Deep scars were forced upon
Queen Catastrophia seer renewal grew to see
Humanity in ruins sped to Death on rotten knees
We freed the flames that came to haunt Her
The greed that tore Her Elvish bodice
She was the storm that warmed to slaughter
Our selfish needs
Displeasuring the Goddess
Plastering disaster
Faster pandemics appear
Anthropocentric pockets
Last plagues are spreading near
Grand levelling with seven tongues acerbic whore-astride
As the oceans swell in venom at our slick black ecocide
This judgment has come from on high
Poisoners choke on the smoke-ridden Sty
Forewarnings ignored
Faith in a Lord
Life's blessings uncared for
This judgment has come from on high
Suffer this Kiss as She whispers goodbye
Goodbye...
What have we done?
and what have we become?
In this distance from our mother,
From the gates of late Eden?
Blinded, undone
Glowering into the sun
A world of mass congrestion smothered
In the waste of late Eden
and what of Her?
Gaia, Cybele
where is jewelled Ishtar
That shone forth like the stars?
Now maniacal She moves against us all
To destroy recreate anew
To dance amok amidst annihilation
Extinction greets foul creatures left
Deflowering the Maidenhead
Displeasuring the Goddess
Beauty falls from Her state of perfection
Good grace has fled this dream
While the Cats away
The Rats will Ravage
Despotic, Necrotic fingers
Have lingered with Rape's Affection
Hoods face this global scene
As they stoop to prey
Nature grows more savage
She shudders at our foetal fatal touch
Heavenly Her body reft
and left amongst the Dead
Once grateful seeds in Her natal hutch
Our species breeds
Deflowering the Maidenhead

Twisted laws extend their thristles

This judgment has come from on high

Blackest Magick In Practice lyrics - Cradle of Filth
I wish upon a star
And think of all the things
I should have asked
Instead, I let the moment pass
And now I'm bleeding
On her faded photographs
Tears
So hard to swallow
Sorrow bleats and leaves me hollow
Empty years, I should have followed
My inamorata to the grave
Uncertain words my heart denied
Now seem so trivial
I lost all the night she died
Lies!
She is alive!
Beneath the ice
Only darkest mirrors crack this
Curse
And I immersed
Invoke the worst
Blackest Magick put to practice
I remember then
When the Autumn moon
Would turn us back again
We'd laugh and bask
Amidst the underworld of men
Both citing Baudelaire
As our immortal saviour
Tears
So hard to swallow
Sorrow bleats and leaves me hollow
Empty years, I should have followed
My inamorata to the grave
Words are so benumbing
In my head, I hear the drumming
Summoning, the dead are coming
From fetid crypts my lips create
Now grave powers start to rise
Deflowerers shall suffer
Those witness to your sacrifice
Lies!
She is alive!
Beneath the ice
Only darkest mirrors crack this
Curse
And I, immersed
Invoke the worst
Blackest Magick put to practice
I think upon our time
Those golden summers
Of love echo so sublime
As do winters drinking
Too much festive wine
Now the seasons shift
Neath a creeping mist of horror
Malfeic entities
I call upon thee
Vibrating cosmic threads
With shredded flesh
Manifest destinies
For those opposing me
Everyone is killable
Some just choose a vulgar death
ow we will see
What terrors shall be
The dark crimson sea
Drags the sun to oblivion
Faced demons
Arousing fire with tongues
Laced with vicious memories
Spatter twisted trees
Rape is returned a thousandfold
In the garden of unearthly delights
Only when their minds lie in ruin
Will I then hand them the knife
Towers fall like broken skies
Crashing through to Hell
Where amid the debris, angels writhe
Lies!
She is alive!
Beneath the ice
Only darkest mirrors crack this
Curse
And I, immersed
Invoke the worst
Blackest Magick put to practice
Death left me hopelessly blinded
Resigned to the wrongs of his design
I will never be alright
Never be alright
Never see the light
That shone in the heart of heaven
And think of all the things
I should have asked
Instead, I let the moment pass
And now I'm bleeding
On her faded photographs
Tears
So hard to swallow
Sorrow bleats and leaves me hollow
Empty years, I should have followed
My inamorata to the grave
Uncertain words my heart denied
Now seem so trivial
I lost all the night she died
Lies!
She is alive!

Hammer Of The Witches lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Breastfed red dementias
Familiar with their suckled hostess
Unhinge her bridle scold
A quest for misadventure
Wrests her glare of buckled gnosis
From bloodstained floor to holy centrefold
Death is tensing to explode
Inquisitioners sought her
Scenting the bent in her veins
Stripped and readied for torture
Enslaved to shame
The fist of humanity taught her
Scissors and spiked tourniquet
Dionysian daughter
Pressed to confess from the pain
I say "Toll the demon bell
The rotting hearts of Man
Shall light the path from Hell"
Vestial desecrators
Familiar with her secret ewers
Soon tied to licking flame
Rest their 'tests' fir kater
As sweet revenge frin reejubg sewers
Ybciuks abd skudes amidst this unfair game
A Storm is rolling in
Unleash the fucking curse...
Calling the fallen
Crawling from the shadows of God
Now their tables turn, blind faith learns
Papal sermons oft have lied
Save that the coven the Black Goat governs
Is very much wide-eyed, alive
She summons proof
On virulent wings, a plague is coming
Cuntfire-hoofed
From mating with the Devil
On the torchlit Brocken
Baphometic by design
A penchant vent for vengeance
Cut deep by horrors fought
Those dungeon-screams for mercy
Shalt keep for everybody
Nine circles down they heard her
Ten times the hecatomb
A thousand souls for those church-murdered
Dark ken align to render doom
Their punishment overdue
Striking unbiblical chords that roar
Invoke raw branded skies
As forked lightning feeds the hordes of war
Her broken hands revive
For sisters, missed, once powerless
Tongues torn out by the root
Fell whispers rose to a seething congress
Of spirits born for Death's pursuit
Never a dusk so drunk on lust
Caressed the cobbles red
Frights she called, the flights of Ghouls
Left little of their brittle flesh
Judgment night descended
Like the bonfire's fall of ashes
Inquisitioners slaughtered
Venting the dent in her brain
Stripped and readied, debauchees
Prepared to stain
The gist of humanity taught her
Intolerance, murder in vein
Dionysian daughter
Soon to deliver the pain
I say "Toll the demon bell
The rotting hearts of Man
Shall light the path from Hell"
And refreshed of this dementia
Their thumbscrews,
Pears and cruel whiplashes
She turns her craft
To the next fat sacret grove
Familiar with their suckled hostess
Unhinge her bridle scold
A quest for misadventure
Wrests her glare of buckled gnosis
From bloodstained floor to holy centrefold
Death is tensing to explode
Inquisitioners sought her
Scenting the bent in her veins
Stripped and readied for torture
Enslaved to shame
The fist of humanity taught her
Scissors and spiked tourniquet
Dionysian daughter
Pressed to confess from the pain
I say "Toll the demon bell

Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych lyrics - Cradle of Filth
(Death darkens all
Right wing of the garden triptych
Left marks The Fall
The middle ground apocalyptic)
Why slay the grim inevitable
And play out with a whimper?
Pain is raising armies of our faith
Now
The future cows
Before the vows
Prophets thunder from the heavens
We seek to justify
Our seed spread far and wide
The eve that virtue died
Bore witness to this plague
Great Hellscapes rape enflamed horizons
Here....
This the sore beginning
To the war to end all wars
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, this hate brings fever
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdamerung, the great bereaver
Throw wide splintered lichgates
To the eldritch show's return
Unforgiving proof accrual begs this cruel rebirth
A living fuel for the blaze of renewal, razing the earth
Pariahs and Messiahs of the highest worth
Fodder for the denizens of risen, hissing Hell
Nothing screams out mercy more than
Vivisection of the soul
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, all base deceivers
Coddle Abaddon
God, you got it wrong, now fall believers
Liars and deniers, thickin the mire's grasp
Treacherous and lecherous
(Peace sits alone
Midst the desecration sewn
Like a stony Queen of Winter, throned)
This the penalty for lust
Long dreaded, read in scripture
Vain pleasures fed to paint this...
Now
The future cows
Before the vows
Prophets thunder from the heavens
We seek to justify
Our seed spread far and wide
The eve that virture died
Bore witness to this plague
Great Hellscapes rape enflamed horizons
Here...
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, fatal the lever
Gotterdammerung
Gotterdammerung, the great bereaver
A twilight for bone idols. sewer-suicidal from the heights
A dead man's stance to prayer, defeaned ears to mortal plights
Pleas and effigues, clergy bang to rites
Belief is superficial when the missals dance alight
(Death darkens all
Ring wing of the garden triptych
Left marks The Fall
The universe is, at worst, ecliptic)
Right wing of the garden triptych
Left marks The Fall

Why slay the grim inevitable
And play out with a whimper?

The Vampyre At My Side lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Accompanied by bloodshed
Neath the Reaper's sallow craw
In league with fallen angels
Came a wolf unto my door
A portrait of perfection
Potent her siren song
I spread my dreams beneath her feet
And had them royally pissed upon
Burning with this itching sickness of a tortured soul
Cloying
She exudes a lure more animal than human
Intoxicating chemistry
Baiting masturbators with a dominant handshake
This wicked bitch
Cruella to the bone
Each vivid stich
Just ties me to her throne
In exaltation
She builds on endless lies
Mircalla, Maleresian
Architect of my demise
Burning with this witching sickness of a tortured soul
Toying
I shudder at her touch so wonderful
Akin to a helpless pin
Snatched in maiden flight by a savage magnet
She's the boot heel kiss of annihilation
Gilded cunt worship
A war of hormones swarming south
As Insects hived in her succulent skull
Make a beeline for the honey mouth
My life once breathed like a ouija board
Just ghosts of 'yes', mostly ignored
So I wished for her and like tragedy she came
Dispensing hatred
Death amongst us all
The hypnotic guest that permeates the ball
Is a creature who has leeched me, beautiful
And beguiling in enticing whispers
And lest she breaks the fall
Be prepared for shattered miracles
The moon has never shone so red and terrible
As on that night my madness rose to kiss her
Strife then seethed like a terrible sea
Buried in a life lost prematurely
Classic Poe had no horrors on me
When her claws had dug deep enough
Enough!
Once hurting, for certain
A curtain of dark ravens has risen
Asserting 'nevermore'!
Nevermore!
Burning with the lifting sickness of a tortured soul
Joying
In the turn of her infernal final screw
Laughter masked Saturnalia
As the mallet in my linen wished her grin anew
That wicked bitch
Cruella to the bone
Each vivid stich
Just tied me to her throne
In exaltation
She built on endless lies
Mircalla, Maleresian
Architect of my despise
In exaltation
My sweet revenge presides
For I have lived through Sodom and tomorrow
And the vampyre at my side
Neath the Reaper's sallow craw
In league with fallen angels
Came a wolf unto my door
A portrait of perfection
Potent her siren song
I spread my dreams beneath her feet
And had them royally pissed upon
Burning with this itching sickness of a tortured soul
Cloying
She exudes a lure more animal than human
Intoxicating chemistry
Baiting masturbators with a dominant handshake
This wicked bitch
Cruella to the bone
Each vivid stich
Just ties me to her throne
In exaltation
She builds on endless lies
Mircalla, Maleresian
Architect of my demise
Burning with this witching sickness of a tortured soul
Toying
I shudder at her touch so wonderful
Akin to a helpless pin
Snatched in maiden flight by a savage magnet
She's the boot heel kiss of annihilation

Onward Christian Soldiers lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Aching floorboards spoke my name
In the belly of the beast to foreign shores
In tune with tides that whispered fame
And fortune for our humble Lord
Ecclesiastical banners
Unfurl in the manner
Of those who seek conquest and gain
Sail forth for Outremer
The Promised Land praised from the hands
Of blasphemers amassing there
Awakened from the desert landscapes
Onward Christian soldiers
Fated Nazareth and Bethlehem
Have fallen to an enemy bolder
It is said to widespread slaughter and rape
We are all sinners, enslaved to the cross
God wills The Great War to erase
The Judaic acres, the Mohammedans
In defense of our revenant faith
Political prowess takes to the stage
A pilgrimage led bu the sword
The sweet maiden blast of our clarion rage
Against the foul heretic hordes
The blazing invader Crusader parade
Vatican sanctioned and Mammon adored
Now, papal-led to die
The fatal battle cry
A natural army vies
For stretching Christendom
Wide, we slay the infidel
Remiss our way to Hell
Pay well the wishing well
With golden martyrdom
Scaling the towers with power ordained
Dark flowers of infamy bud
Ransacking, hacking off Saracen reign
The temple drinks claret in floods
Mercy forgotten in our ill-gotten gain
Of women and innocent blood
Death abides in this domain of ashes
The streets are stained
With the butchered foe
Now I hear the bells of triumph ringing
As they lay there rotting in their thousand shrouds
Beneath the clouds
That skitter and scatter
Dispersions on the truth of heaven
We are all sinners, enslaved to the cross
God wills The Great War to erase
The Judaic acres, the Mohammedans
In defense of our revenant faith
No crescent moon
No prophet of doom
Shall wail above Jerusalem
Vast hypocrites
All grasping for glitz
Have taken The Mount and The Tomb
Here in the kingdom of loss
In the belly of the beast to foreign shores
In tune with tides that whispered fame
And fortune for our humble Lord
Ecclesiastical banners
Unfurl in the manner
Of those who seek conquest and gain
Sail forth for Outremer
The Promised Land praised from the hands
Of blasphemers amassing there
Awakened from the desert landscapes
Onward Christian soldiers
Fated Nazareth and Bethlehem
Have fallen to an enemy bolder
It is said to widespread slaughter and rape
We are all sinners, enslaved to the cross
God wills The Great War to erase
The Judaic acres, the Mohammedans

The Abhorrent lyrics - Cradle of Filth
I sing desolation
On the breath of centuries
Bringing annihilation
Slaughter courses through my enemies
I was not always so cold
Once upon a crime in times of favour
I had lived a God amongst the bold
Like a true poetic saviour
But my people were dissolved
By the flames of righteous strangers
My name blackened ten thousandfold
Death grew to know me...
As the abhorrent
Stricken from the light
As dividing curses poured
I was hiding in the thickening mire
Biding for my war
I'm climbing up the years to get you
From a dark abyssic scheme
Lovecraftian, part-Martian
To be the beast I used to be
My laureates of gold are sold
Horns spear the reddened sea
And by my transformed hand
Be sure
The Heavens hear your final screams
Tonight this world is burning
To a fulsome serenade
Arch nemesis, I'm the genesis
Of a raging plague about to break
Blue eyes rolled headlong to black
When the darkness drew me to her caresses
I was not always so co cold
Once upon a crime in times of old
I had lived a God amongst the folds
Of creeping epic failure
But my people were dissolved
By the flames of righteous strangers
My name blackened and deeds annulled
They grew to know me...
As the abhorrent
I'm a cemetery and a garden
Ripe with near-putrefied life
A phallus beginning to harden
On the philosophy of a prurient knife
I hear the dead begin to cry
Hostis Humanis Generis
My favorite leaden lullaby
On sacred eves I've asked for sacrifice
Mere moments of atonement
For your despise
A stern believer
That the great deceiver
Is your precious God
Whose preachers saw me demonised
Now, the sun it sets
On your nascent best of days
Time to rise
Gorgon, Calibos and Cane
Titans unrepentant
Lord Lucifer insane
If I am the Devil
I shall honour my spiteful name
Tonight this world is burning
To a fulsome serenade
Arch nemesis, the rest of this
Destructive wickedness is on its way
On the breath of centuries
Bringing annihilation
Slaughter courses through my enemies
I was not always so cold
Once upon a crime in times of favour
I had lived a God amongst the bold
Like a true poetic saviour
But my people were dissolved
By the flames of righteous strangers
My name blackened ten thousandfold
Death grew to know me...
As the abhorrent
Stricken from the light
As dividing curses poured
I was hiding in the thickening mire
Biding for my war
I'm climbing up the years to get you

For Your Vulgar Delectation lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Welcome with a stench of misadventure
Libertine and sibling things a grim
Slither forth through the gateway's hissing denture
The moon, one up on the chateau battlements
Gilds this torchlit drive to Shangri-la
This solstice calls like the piper to rodentia
Come join this hive of masqueraders
This eve is pure and pagan
Its teeth are in the past
Dark royalties of ancient caste
Feast in splendour
For your vulgar delectation
Decreed
That hunger shall be sated by the dawn
In marble ballrooms of delight
The erotic and the wicked dance alike
Virgin cunts aquiver at this foreplay for the spiteful
The cellars smelt abrim
With cracked wine and racked women
Are spiced for even Marquis appetites
Screams an aphrodisiac
For the blackest ever nightfall
Lords, heed the call
Vast boudoirs here
Are mastered by the minatory
Walls plastered with the base relief
Of baser glories
Ma Cherie Debauchery
Deflower of my life untie their bonds
And push these fantasies
To ever greater stories
For your vulgar delectation
Inhibit nothing, run free
Loose sore cauteries before me
Ripped, prolific scars
Are titbits on which to feed
The heathen hour strikes
Wrong the rites, beasts ravage for your soul
As lovely entrapment snaps her fingers
Hell comes crawling
This eve is pure and pagan
Its teeth are in the past
Let the cream of sinners learn at last
For your vulgar delectation
Decreed
That hunger shall be sated by the dawn
Dawn... burning, aghast
With the judgment that we spend upon the evil
We feed eternal hungriness
Exceeding vile deeds that were freed in this cathedral
For your vulgar delectation
Decreed
That horrors shall be waited on the ones
Who crave sin's innovations
Libertine and sibling things a grim
Slither forth through the gateway's hissing denture
The moon, one up on the chateau battlements
Gilds this torchlit drive to Shangri-la
This solstice calls like the piper to rodentia
Come join this hive of masqueraders
This eve is pure and pagan
Its teeth are in the past
Dark royalties of ancient caste
Feast in splendour
For your vulgar delectation
Decreed
That hunger shall be sated by the dawn
In marble ballrooms of delight
The erotic and the wicked dance alike
Virgin cunts aquiver at this foreplay for the spiteful
The cellars smelt abrim
With cracked wine and racked women
Are spiced for even Marquis appetites
Screams an aphrodisiac

Illicitus lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Forlornucopial the wealth of misery
And favoured haunts of sorrow hold no lure
Deep swathes of gloom
that once cocooned me in dark livery
Now clothed me in suits ill-borrowed from the pure
Alas it's true
The beast you knew
Found breath anew
In the heartstrings of love's assassin
She was a huntress
And an alabaster bride
A Venus not averse to taking sides
And in all my centuries
Bar Carmilla in cerise
Never had I fallen save for foolish pride
As we walked, our affrighted lanterns
Fed the lengthy shadows with their tallow lullabies
The fragrant night air chilled by sighted phantoms
Clouds drew cobweb threads across a sallow moonrise
Illicitus
So capricious
Superstitious to the point of philistine
The glue of secrecy grew paper thin
Her beauty so delicious
In the realm of the divine
The cross about her throat gave up to sin
In expectation
Her lips to find
The crates were blazing in my stone cold cellars
That traitor love
Once its spell ran headlong through my veins
Now I felt it roar again
Like an urge for murder
...Her kiss
The paradigm of bliss
Hot whispers on the wind
In swanlike curves I graced salvation
Amidst both world I promised her
Eternity would be beautiful
Yet on the cusp
I still not truly dared
Her eyes plied hard a burning will
Beseeching on her knees
Like Salome unfulfilled
I hung between two thieves
Guilt and spilt desire
Until that flame became a fire
All consuming
With strength renewed
I turned again
Death all lit up by my perfect victim
And she grew
The scourge of men
They hissed her name in perverted dictum
Now we walk, our cavorting auras
Feed the lengthy shadows with their sullen lullabies
The fragrant night air filled with haunting chorus
Clouds draw cobweb threads across a bloodied moonrise
Illicitus

And favoured haunts of sorrow hold no lure

Manticore lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Write a story. Any story.
But let it have dragons...
O Gods of war
In the jungle corridor
I feel your haughty presence feasting the Manticore
She stalks the shadows, burning
The smoke is thick and reaks of blood
Her hunger an eternal yearning
Tantric, necromantic, a wank fantasy of faith
She religiously feeds
A feverous all man-eater
In the trees I see her eyes like slithering she of snakes
Monstrous this chimera
In her beautiful anger
Screaming from the pulpit
Damnation's oratory
She is the whispering poisoned dart
And the breath of Armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
Anthropophagous
Manticora
Press the silent violin of frisson over horror
In my forced hand
Sphinx will sing her song and coloured in lullabies
Death endorsed invades our lands
Gigantic, pyromantic
A beast of naked flame
Panting blackened masses from her opulent Godhead
Ill-barbed are those tongues spread wings eclipse her frame
And in her deep crevasses Kundalini vents unfed
In darkness
Her fastness threshed with fleshing teeth
She comes to masticate you whole
She is the bane of mothers
Grand leveller of Maa Kali's Mardi Gras
What man would damn the world to summon her?
Be still
Pray silence lest she stoops to conquer
The perverse acid queen
Ten thousand pillars in her heart
Uphold a cracked palace of frozen killers
And the mirror in her soul
Polished black for scrying nightmares
Bubbles with a lust
That yearns to burn again
Razor backed, she attacks
Empire's battle cat
A creature of the white devil's rule
Mythical and mystical
Provinces will recall the swarm of refugees from her pall
Mimicking victims
With a voice of the choicest deadpanned in pain
Awful claws hold rapport with the skins of mankind
She is the whispering poisoned dart
And the breath of Armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a valley full of raptors
A lick of fire on her lips as silent as a will o wisp
She comes amongst you all, tigressive
Blazing in her pride hellraising horrors from the dark-side...
Manticore
But let it have dragons...
O Gods of war
In the jungle corridor
I feel your haughty presence feasting the Manticore
She stalks the shadows, burning
The smoke is thick and reaks of blood
Her hunger an eternal yearning
Tantric, necromantic, a wank fantasy of faith
She religiously feeds
A feverous all man-eater
In the trees I see her eyes like slithering she of snakes

Frost On Her Pillow lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Facedown I sprawl in the forest's cathedral
Where she lies in thrall
To a slippery coffin
I first saw her grin in this graven lair
My heart starting to canter
Snow white skin and raven hair
Lips full red as a blood decanter
But hatred hunted there
In tyranny's mirror
Magickal rites
Turned with jealousy
On a young reflection
Back then spring's breeze sweetened the night
Now the evenings are longing
Shadows delight
And the frost on her pillow
Glitters by the moonlight
Months saw my lost to her elegant, decadent ways
This past midnight cinderella
With a smile like the winter sun
On a misty day
And star-grazing eyes raising cappellas
But poison stunted there
Seven trees weaving
Arbour on nights
Spent in ecstasy
Neath their woodland awning
She fell foul to withcraft's designs
A weeping willow
Wicked willed to sleep
There's frost on her pillow
At the cost of mourning
Now the lands fall grey, devils revel and obey
A cruel beauty drifted from a dark novella
The queen of hearts tarred
By the cards she's swift to play
In turrets over all where angels smell her ways
Our fairy tale is over
My love lies dead
The kingdom writhes in a red dementia
Misadventure strides instead
A sore, wilde picture like Dorian Gray
Pressed against the glass in pain
One final graven kiss to say
My love I will avenge
Those fleeting hours of flowers bloomed
Beneath the tree-entangled moon
Why did you have to leave so soon
My illuminary friend?
But hated hunted there
In tyranny's mirror
Justified spite
Turned armageddon
On a stunned reflection
Back then Hell's freeze strangled the night
Summer is coming
New flames ignite
And the frost on her pillow
Is lost to the morning light
Where she lies in thrall
To a slippery coffin
I first saw her grin in this graven lair
My heart starting to canter
Snow white skin and raven hair
Lips full red as a blood decanter
But hatred hunted there
In tyranny's mirror
Magickal rites
Turned with jealousy
On a young reflection
Back then spring's breeze sweetened the night
Now the evenings are longing
Shadows delight
And the frost on her pillow
Glitters by the moonlight
Months saw my lost to her elegant, decadent ways
This past midnight cinderella
With a smile like the winter sun
On a misty day
And star-grazing eyes raising cappellas
But poison stunted there
Seven trees weaving
Arbour on nights
Spent in ecstasy
Neath their woodland awning
She fell foul to withcraft's designs
A weeping willow
Wicked willed to sleep
There's frost on her pillow
At the cost of mourning
Now the lands fall grey, devils revel and obey
A cruel beauty drifted from a dark novella
The queen of hearts tarred
By the cards she's swift to play
In turrets over all where angels smell her ways

The kingdom writhes in a red dementia

Back then Hell's freeze strangled the night
Summer is coming
New flames ignite
And the frost on her pillow
Is lost to the morning light
Huge Onyx Wings Behind Despair lyrics - Cradle of Filth
Bloated with disease
A psychophantic grease that clings
Like a shroud thrown over me
A coat of gloden fleas
And by their gleam
The shadows grow to me
This soul is sick with wicked exploration
My vulgar habits stitched the rabbit hole
A welcome mat for infestation
Fettered from the get go
Listen to me now
For the road to glory goads you
Thistles on the path
Always cast by the one who knows you
From the dark
We are less than worms and vermin
Black clouds low and roll
Shipwrecked in my psyche
By siren fantasies
Serpents
Curl about my goals
Hissing through the mirror
As they slither over me
Now...
I pray you see the light
Before huge onyx wings behind despair arise
They splay night skies with desolation
And the Devil never lets go
Fate caught me
In flagrante delicto
Shame taught me
Hells self-obsessive fresco
Ruled by horrors
Grue, no butterfly become
Cocooned in utter guilt
The gutters silt has overrun
My rue transcendence
Sheol builds Golem
And this offence to nature
Is hunting independence
The more I wallow in grief
The more fatalist I fall
To this engorging beast
The greatest traitor of them all
Bloated with disease
A psychopathic grease that clings
Like a shroud thrown over me
A coat of golden fleas
And by their gleam
The shadows grow to be
This soul is sick with wicked exploration
My vulgar habits stitched the rabbit hole
A welcome mat for infestation
Listen to them laugh
For the roads to glory goad you
Thistles on the path
Always cast by the one who knows you
From within the mirror
A psychophantic grease that clings
Like a shroud thrown over me
A coat of gloden fleas
And by their gleam
The shadows grow to me
This soul is sick with wicked exploration
My vulgar habits stitched the rabbit hole
A welcome mat for infestation
Fettered from the get go
Listen to me now
For the road to glory goads you
Thistles on the path
Always cast by the one who knows you
From the dark
We are less than worms and vermin
Black clouds low and roll
Shipwrecked in my psyche
By siren fantasies
Serpents
Curl about my goals
Hissing through the mirror
As they slither over me
Now...
I pray you see the light
Before huge onyx wings behind despair arise
They splay night skies with desolation
And the Devil never lets go
