Lyrics: To Eve The Art Of Witchcraft - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

Crawl in awful stealth to me
forever a voyeur i've been
nocturnal goddess of the moon
so she comes, unseen
Thus (uzza and azel) speak
The burning seed, is thrust in eve
and yearning keeps me, captive of desire
Make me as a flower that grows
forever in your throne
that i might pollinate the world
with darkness as your own
embrace me in spellbinding eyes
the fire of life that never dies
tear deeper through my paper wounds
and never leave inside
Love shall consume and bathe the lady
whom i worship and ride thereon
she will greet me as a serpent
in her dark, secret eden
and i will always want
for her witchcraft is
desire... (desire...)
my soul is poisoned from within...
I crawl with languid guilt to thee
forever flushed in sin
lamia, latria i give
my soul is poisoned from within
Wisdom breeds, fecundity
and her cunt she feeds, to fulfill her desire
To eve i cum...
Sevenfold my passion wrought
to ransack eden, and to taste the whore
i cling beyond her sabled court
she is a gateway, to that darkness lost
(now dream...)
I am the gentle stream
that trickles through the summer glades
of ever green peace
therefore we will drink my sleep and dream
i am the bleeding sky,
the snatching wind of war
blowing through the savage garden
my crown is fire, the erotic sinews of lust
like strings to be pulled, and cut
i will make my puppets dance
the men will bow down before me
to take my flesh as lucid thoughts
of dark, unbridled lust
i am all these things and more
thus i await you, nemesis of restraint
the code of life, and the bride of evil itself
Oh, the fevered need for her
when greed and lust are sharpened in that one desire
the all-consuming fire
reveal to me your mysteries, witch
the tree is plundered but i have the seed
to be sown in thee
"mon sortilege a ete le pouvoir qui diovent
avoir les ames fortes sur les espirits faibles"

Lyrics: Nymphetamine - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

Lead to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A 'V' of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt
(Keeping Sodom at night at bay)

Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Lyrics: Temptation - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

I've never been closer,
I've tried to understand,
That certain feeling,
Called by another sound,
But it's too late to hesitate,
We can't keep on living like this.

Leave no track,
Don't look back.

All I desire (temptation)
Keep climbing higher and higher (temptation)
Adorable creatures (temptation)
With unacceptable features (temptation)
And Trouble is coming (temptation)
It's just a high cost of lovin(temptation)
And you can take it or leave it (temptation)
But you better believe it.

You've got to make me an offer,
That cannot be ignored,
So lets head for home now,
Everything I have is yours,
Step by step and day by day,
Every second counts I can't break away.

Leave no trace,
Hide your face.

All I desire (temptation)
Keep climbing higher and higher (temptation)
And you can take it or leave it (temptation)
But you better believe it. (yeah)

Step by step and day by day,
Every second counts I can't break away.
(keep us from temptation, Keep us from temptation,
Keep us from temptation, lead us right to temptation)

Trying to find it (temptation)
You've got to get up behind it (temptation)
But you've turned into heart slots(temptation)
But it's a million to one shots (temptation)
That fit you right now (temptation)
You've got to fake it tonight now (temptation)
But don't give me a breakdown (temptation)
Because it's life or a shakedown
Temptation (x16)

Lyrics: The Death Of Love - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

Where will you be they tense for warfare?
What will you see with your innocence there?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be they tense for warfare?

Where will you be when God is glorifying?
There we will be between the dead and dying
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?

Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
'By command of the king of Heaven'
Came the death of love

Where will you be when they're vilifying?
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?

Where will you be when the dark is rising?
How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?

Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound

But visions and ambition
Never listened to submission
And she was on a mission from the highest above
To Lord upon the slaughter
Like a sword through hissing water
She arose where archers sought her
For the death of love

The righteous death of love

Gilles adored her drama
Her suit of pure white armour
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light

And as they rallied onto night
A cancer fled his soul
Dissolving...

Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She made him click without desire
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess

And even when they caught her breath
Her words would leave a scar

'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'

How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
How will you know if the sky is burning?
Where will you be my darling?
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?

Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
Will you not flee and label me pariah?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they light my pyre?

Aligned with Joan in all
That was enthroned and divine
He swore to score the crimes
Jackdaws poured on this dove
Crimes he knew alone
Derived from minds of the blind
The church unfurled for murder perched
Upon the death of love

Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She claimed the skies were lit with spires
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess

And even when she fought for breath
Her words would leave a scar

'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'

Lyrics: Hallowed Be Thy Name - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

I`m waiting in my cold cell
when the bell begin`s to chime
reflecting on my past life and
it doesn`t have much time cuz at 5 o`clock
they take me to the gallows pole
the sands of time for me are running low
Mutherfuckas!!!!

running low
When the priest come`s to read me the last rites
i take look trhough the bars at the last sights
of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be that there`s some sort of error
hard to stop the surmounting terror
is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that i`m dreaming
it`s not easy to stop from screaming
but words escape me when i try to speak

Tears they flow but why am i crying
after all i`m not afraid of dying
don`t belive that there never is an end

As the guards march me out of the courtyard
someone calls from a cell: "god be with you"
if there`s an god why has he let me die!!!

As i walk through the drifts before me
and though the end is near i``m not sorry
catch my soul cos it`s willing fly away

Mark my words belive my soul lives on
please don`t worry now that ihave gone
i`ve gone beyond to seek the trouth
When you know that your time is at close hand
maybe then you begin to understand why

Lyrics: Her Ghost In The Fog - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

The moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the midnightmare trampling of dreams
but on, no tears please
fear and pain may accompany death
but it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as we shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
that kissed in cold mirrors
a queen of snos
far beyond compare
lips attuned to symmetry
sought her everywhere
dark liqoured 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 imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
on my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
or to death as their way
they crept through woods mesmerized
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 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 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'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 drowned her gentle curves
with dreams unsaid and final words
i espied a gleam trodden to earth
the church bell tower key...

The village mourned 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 symmetry
sought her everywhere
trappistine eyes
an arabian nightmare...

She was ersulie possessed
of a milky white skin
my porcelain yin
a graceful angel of sin

And so for her...
the breeze stank of sunset and camphor
my lantern chased her phantom and blew
their chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
or to flame unashamed
i swept form cries
mesmerized
by the taffeta ley
or 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

Lyrics: Devil Woman - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw that cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Give me the ring on your finger
And let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned

I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I came there for

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind, hind
(Stay away, you cunt)

If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Trying to win you with Nymphetamine ways

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

Lyrics: Stay - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , ,

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with me

Lyrics: A Gothic Romance (Red Roses For The Devil's Whore) - Cradle Of Filth

Category: , , , , ,

Evening minuetto in a castle by the sea
A jewel more radiant than the moon
Lowered Her mask to me
The sublimest creature the Gods, full of fire
Would marvel at making their Queen
Infusing the air with Her fragrant desire
And my heart reeled with grave poetry....

From grace I fell in love with Her
Scent and feline lure
And jade woodland eyes that ushered in the impurest
"Erotic, laden fantasies amid this warm Autumn night
She lulled me away from the rich masquerade
And together we clung in the bloodletting moonlight"
Pearled luna, what spell didst thou cast on me?
Her icy kiss fervoured my neck
Like whispering waves 'pon Acheron's beach
In a whirl of sweet voices and statues
That phantomed the dying trees
This debauched seductress in black, took me....

In a pale azured dawn like Ligeia reborn
I tore free of my sleep - sepulchre
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn
Lamented the spectre of Her
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete
I hungered for past overtures
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress
Came much more than my soul could endure....

I, at once endeavoured to see Her again
Stirring from midnight's inertia
Knowing not even her name
On a thin precipice over carnal abyss
I danced like a blind acolyte
Drunk on red wine, her dead lips on mine
Suffused with the perfume of night

For hours I scoured the surrounding grounds
In vain that we might meet
When storm clouds broke, ashened, fatigued
I sought refuge in a cemeterty

Sleep, usher dreams
Taint to nightmares from a sunless nether

Mistress of the dark
I now know what thou art

Screams haunt my sleep
Dragged from nightmares thou hast wed together

Lamia and Lemures
Spawned thee leche
To snare my flesh

Portrait of the Dead Countess

Deep stained pain that I had dreamt
Flaunted demise, life's punishment
Leaving little strength to seal this wretched tomb....

But poised nectar within my stirs
Up feverous desire and morbid purpose to search
Through cobwebbed drapery to where she swoons
Goddess of the graveyard, of the tempest and moon
In flawless fatal beauty her very visage compels
Glimpses of a heaven where ghost companies fell
To mourning the loss of god in blackest velvet
Enrobed in their downfall like a swift silhouette

"Fleeting, enshadowed
Thou art privy to my sin
Secrets dead, wouldst thou inflict
The cruel daylights upon my skin?
Dost thou not want to worship me
With crimson sacrifice
So my cunt may twitch against thy kiss
And weep with new-found life?"

Red roses for the Devil's whore....

Dark angels taste my tears
And whisper haunting requiems
Softly to mine ear
Need-fires have lured abominations here....

Nocturnal pulse
My veins spill forth their waters
Rent by lips I cherish most

Awash on her perfidious shores
Where drowning umbra o'er the stars
Ebon's graves where lovers whore
Like seraphim and Nahemah

"Nahemah"

Pluck out mine eyes, hasten, attest
Blind reason against thee, Enchantress
For I must know, art thou not death?
My heart echoes bloodless and incensed....

Doth temptation prowl night in vulvic revelry
Did not the Queen of Heaven come as Devil to me?
On that fatal Hallow's Eve when we fled company
As the music swept around us in the crisp, fated leaves
UNder horned Diana where her bloodline was sewn
In a graveyard of Angels rent in cool marbled stone
I am grieving the loss of life in sombre velvet
Enrobed in Death's shadow like a swifter
silhouette....
