coffin fodder
cradle of filth
freedom lift thy sewered hem
free from beasts and skewered men
their world will never take me
they will never desecrate my soul
are so far lonely constellations
and wishing on those stars
my spirit bars annihilation
hosts of most fell forms of greed
ghosts of pearly gate remissions
slit the witch and watch him bleed
the preachers piled their craft
to make their sunken hearts
a coffin for their stories
freedom slips my sombre pen
and the gates to wolves break open then
but claws no more will rake me
those whores have fled to darker days
i have wronged in my position
but now the winds are strong
to soar from babel's vision
dock to dock these mongrels breed
when my killing moon is risen
these creatures of the dark
were quaffing morning glories
to make their drunken hearts
a coffin for their stories
somewhere the dusk is lining
red the shore of a roaring sea
and though loved there is someone pining
for the waves of blood to run and rescue me: the time has come
freedom lift thy sewered hem
free from beasts and skewered men
their world will never take me
they will never desecrate my soul
their world will never break me
they will never desecrate my soul
