Cradle Of Filth Lyrics | |||||||||||

Dusk and Her Embrace- When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake And the mists steal in with ease Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes In adortaion of the moon and thee "They call as i to thee...." And i will come as if in a dream My languid, dark and lustrous Malerasian queen Of vengeful, ancient breed Gilded with the pelts of many enemies Erishgikal, raven-haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I can taste thy scent by candlelight Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair Appease the beast on spattered sheets Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps Nocternity.... She shall come for me A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night And i have ridden from the westerning light To expend my lust Tear away the funeral dress Know that i will escape from my death Surrendered to the splendor of her sharped caress Lo! The pale moonlight Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline Of mist and moth and the hunger inside Kisses look to fever and the fever, demise "Through twilight, darkness and moonrise My scarlet tears will run As stolen blood and whispered love Of fantasies undone" Countess swathed in ebony And snow white balletic grace Rouge-filmed lips procurethe wish For lust and her disgrace Dusk and her embrace We shall flit through the shadows Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow Under deadly nightshade Still warmed with the kills afterglow Beneath the stars thy flesh be-devils me (Beneath the stars taste the death in me) Bequeath to me the firey kiss To sever thin mortality Elizabeth My heart is thine Thy fragrant words Warm within like wine.... "Let me come to thee With eyes like Asphodel Moon-glancing loose desires free To writhe under my spell" Ereshkigal, raven haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I know thy scent by candlelight Immortal flesh i yearn to share Apease the beast on spattered sheets Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps Nocternity She shall come for me.... Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus How thy full embossed fog Imparts the night to us. |

Sleepless- And I often sigh I often wonder why I'm still here and I still cry And i often cry I often spill a tear Over those not here But still they are so near Please ease my burden And i still remember A memory and i weep In my broken sleep The scars they cut so deep Please ease my burden Please ease my pain Surely without war there would be no loss Hence no mourning, no greif, no pain, no misery No sleepless nights missing the dead...Oh no more No more war. |

Her Ghost In The Fog- "The moon she hangs like a cruel portrait Soft winds whisper the bidding of trees As this tragedy starts with a shatter ed glass heart And the Midnightmare trampling of dreams But oh, no tears please Fear and pain may acompany Death But it is desirethat shepherds it's certainty As We shall see...." She was divinitys creature That kissed in cold mirrors A queen of snow.... Far beyond compare Lips attuned to symmetry Sought her everywhere Dark liquored-eyes An Arabian nightmare.... She shone on watercolours Of my pondlife as pearl Until those who couldn't have her Cut her free of this world That fateful Eve when... The trees stank of sunset and camphor Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast On my love picking rue by the light odf the moon Putting reason to flight Or to death on their way They crept through woods mesmeriesed By the taffeta Ley Of her hips that held sway Over all they surveyed Save a mist on the rise (A deadly blessing to hide) Her ghost in the fog They raped and left...' (Five men of god) ...Her ghost in the fog Dawn discovered her there Beneath the Cedar's stare Silk dress torn, Her raven hair Flown to gown her beauty bared Was starred with frost, I knew her lost I' wept till tears crept back to prayer Sh'd sworn me vows in fragrant blood "Never to part Lest jealous heaven stole our hearts" Then this i screamed: "Come back to me- I was born in love with thee So why should fate stand inbetween? And as i drwned her gentle curves ith dreams unsaid and final words I aspied a gleam trodden to earth The church bell-tower key.... The villagemourned her by the by For she'd been a witch Their men had longed to try And i broke under Christ seeking guilty signs My tortured soul on ice A Queen of snow Far beyond compare Lips attuned to symettry Sought her everywhere Trappestine eyes An Arabian nightmare.... She was Eruzile possessed Of a milky-white skin My porcelain Yin A graceful Angel of sin And so for her... The breeze stunk of sunset and camphor My lantern chased her phantom and blew Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain But revered for judgement that their bible construed... Putting reason to flight Or to flame unshamed I swept from cries Mesmorised By the taffeta Ley Of her hips that held sway Over all those at bay Save a mist on the rise A final blessing to hide Her ghost in the fog And i embraced Where lovers rot... Her ghost in the fog Her ghost in the fog. |
