all hope in eclipse

cradle of filth

a thousand nights once succoured me

in the shadow of misanthropy

sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame

a cruel tongue at work in her secret vaults

sent rebellion's embers into revolt

the coming of extinction

synched to whimpers of my name. legion i arose

a flood of inhumanity

an acid reign to purify the world

the asp at pharaoh's breast

the atom split under duress

a sniper at the gates of spattered pearl

my heart

torn apart

left a rifled grave. save for an unfurled flag of hate

to enthral a mindless zombie race

all heil

all heil

all heil the serpentine's gift

all heil

love fails

all hope lies in eclipse

black bibles i incribed

the words damnation through design"
