Cradle Of Filth

Lustmord and wargasm
An Archangel in bondageBediademed, souledWith a murder of ravensBut no less Astarte to beholdAbandoned by HeavenTo the dead, dark and pastCast Her dispersionsOn life's brittle glassAnd though Her eyes still held fireAs stonewalls caged the beast'Gainst the lassitudes of DeathShe fought but fell to greetAnd midst lies in collusionShe was martyred to teachThat "Divinity and LustAre forever forbidden to meet"But I swore that they wouldBefore the veil could part our embraceTwixt Her cold, silent hips I kissedAnd promised Christendom in flamesGravid with madnessLike a feculent dirgeThat obsesses the heartSongtexteI am covened by wordsTo avenge HerEbon splendourAnd surrenderMy soul to the dead to achieveProphecies of libidinous scourgeHorripilation braying o'er carious herdsVexing nightmaresAnd their weak prayersTo a no one thereTo hinder Her decreeTo weed the world of their diseaseAs shadows unblind mine eyes to seeThe meat that is their congregationHow they plead to the skiesBut this is mere foreplay to warScar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugalVestal daughters giving throat to the priestA psychophant, the despoiler of faithNow His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged dioceseFor Her interredI tore a battle banner from His hideSplashed in red goetiaHues of Hell and deicideSo came the nightIts obsidian lightIs a master whom disastersSuck upon like concubinesAnd under black skirtsThat whisper of delightDarkseeds near fruitionDarked deeds to marry mine"In Death's bed I have lainPaying lip-service to shameBut for dreaming of thee I regainA reason to seek life again"Then we smite the divineFor our true nature is sinTo strip tender flesh from these swineLike the lick of carnivorous windsThe breath of the storm that beginsBy forcing its Herod tongue inThe womb of the holy virginTo taste of immaculate sinFrom temptation's peak we will seeThe world unfurled at lastNow the wolves of time who stalk MankindShall be as one in grim repastCommemorating sickle moonsThe pack are poised to reapA scythe of white roses in bloomWhose twisted thorns will keepA crown upon a dead manDaylights crucified in sleepAnd lives that hide in scriptured liesTo the memories of a screamAnd we shall dance amid the ruinAs Adam and EvilDizzy at the falling starsThat burn fiercer in throes of upheavalIf all must we damn for this momentThen it shall be soFor our souls have crossed oceans of timeTo clasp one another more tightlyThan Deat hcould alone........As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawlThe talons of lust rake a clarion callTo the lick of carnivorous windsThe lick of carnivorous winds Aus Songtexte Mania
