from the cradle to enslave
Singer:cradle of filth
two thousand fattened years like maniacs
have despoiled our common grave
now what necrophagous second coming backs
from the cradle to enslave?
stud the belts that welt the sky
whilst the bitter winter moon
like shifting parent flesh
under silk matricide. watchful as she was upon eden
where every rose arbour and orchard she swept
hid the hissing of a serpent libido
in an ancient tryst with catastrophe
hear that hissing now on the breeze
as through the plundered groves of the carnal garden
a fresh horror blows but ten billion souls
are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees
this is the theme to a better armageddon
nightchords rake the heavens
and what use are prayers to that god?
as devils bay concensus for the space to piss
on your smouldering faith
of this world long a paradise lost
this is the end of everything
hear the growing chora that a new dawn shall bring
danse macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac
now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
what sick nativities will be freed when those lights burn black?
the darkside of the mirror always threw our malice back. i see the serpentine in your eyes
the nature of the beast as revelations arrive
our screams shall trail to angels
for those damned in flames repay
all sinners lose their lot on judgement day
we should have cut our looses as at calvary
but our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief
gleamed a claim away. this is the end of everything you have ever known
buried like vanquished reason
drive like the drifting snow
on our knees or another f**ker's shore
to a crooked cross and a holy cause
what else be whipped to frenzy for?
this is the end of everything
that the seraphim shall sing
as through webbed panes of meat
to impress on human failure
when we've bled upon our knees
from the cradle to enslave. this is the end of everything
