Cradle Of Filth - Death The Great Adventure Lyrics
Sometimes red curtains fall
Before the act has headed for the wings
As on that night disaster crawled out from the stalls…
Suddenly the dark, the thickest Stygian dark
Pressing on all sides with vertigo
Running from the quickest in the sickest abyss
My spirit’s lifted by an angel of woe
A dredged up dreadful past
Drags discordant thoughts my way
Unforgiven and driven to despair
I sense the mordant wraith Azazel
Standing there
Cradle Of Filth - Succumb To This Lyrics
Succumb to this slicker genesis
The serpentine wish of a decandent stranger
This fixed insistence
From a twisted out-of-mind
He is scum to his kind
Slumming with the cast
Of his vast Imaginarium
Darkness come refined
Succumb to this wicked nemesis
The paralysis of hissing imminent danger
His kiss persistent, lips whisper his design
Cradle Of Filth - Siding With The Titans Lyrics
Where nature’s russet beauty grew the roses of Utopia
The stench of vented corpses floats abroad
These killing fields will yield to new horizons so Cyclopean
With the advent of our resurrected Lords
Siding with the Titans
Cast into the ancient dark of Tartarus
Below the underworld
These ancient bastards bore their agonies
Or, locked in slumbrous nightmares
Twixt the spheres or ‘neath the seas
The slept until the righting of the cosmos set them free
Cradle Of Filth - Nightmares Of An Ether Drinker Lyrics
Bursting with madness the moon shall derange
The ether caresses my veins
Cursing the feverous reign
I taste the change
Lips curl, my grip starts to harden
Maelstorms are loosing in the garden
Angels will whisper bane
Hidden meanings in the teaching of pain
time warps with their kiss bestowed again
Cradle Of Filth - Pallid Reflection Lyrics
Here forms a knotted sorrow
The vivid grasp of fading faces
Storm clouds plot to follow…
I wander despondent, a curse on the grave
Her hair in my locket, a lock of nightshade
And there in my pocket, I nurse the charade
Her ring is awaiting her back
I watch her from shadows, pariah by day
I sleep in dark belfries and cellars away
From the ungiving living, their neurotic plague
Has turned her, as I to the black
“Faster beats the drum of dark arcanum”
Cradle Of Filth - Frost On Her Pillow Lyrics
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
Cradle Of Filth - Huge Onyx Wings Behind Despair Lyrics
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
Cradle Of Filth - Manticore Lyrics
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
Cradle Of Filth - Illicitus Lyrics
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
Cradle Of Filth - The Abhorrent Lyrics
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…
Cradle Of Filth - For Your Vulgar Delectation Lyrics
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
Cradle Of Filth - Devil To The Metal Lyrics
Polluting the honesty of Christ with poisoned wine
Laced with lines from the end of time
From the herald and the bugler
High voltage bolts the cellar door
Switch thrown at midnight’s peak
To start the heart of a scarlet whore
Gauged infernally
A poetess in night’s profane station
Threading lies like silver seas
A seamstress for an amputee nation
Wedded to depravities
Devil to the metal
Devil to the metal
Diluting the authority of life with sewer brine
Laced with grime from the spiral of time
Wherein spins cruel order
