the black goddess rises ii

Singer:cradle of filth

thee i invoke

bornless one

all woman

pure predator

wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell

like a seething fall from grace

thee i worship. thou art darkest gabrielle

lilith who rode the steed

thou art pale hecate

rising from thessaly

crush their unworthy idols

no church shall bar our path

seductive evil

drink your fill

of the bleeding christ in your arms

thou art in my dreams

the darkness in my eyes

the rapture in my screams

black goddess arise

nothing will keep us apart

we could kill them all

if our desire tore free

our union is one

sweet

sinful eve

as the night draws in beside her

as we embrace the dark with designs

i pour my soul to those eyes of fire

as i bury my seed deep inside

archangel

snare the flesh

suck dry the ebbing wound

leave them lifeless and broken

my beloved. oh

how i have craved for you

you so pure and other-worldly with your scent of winter

am i to bleed myself dry just to see your delight?

and the fear retreats forever

when my secrets are buried in thine

under seven stars we came together

to plot the new age's decline

ishtar my queen

come forth to me

and help me seize

my future from the house of death

that in the release of immortality

i should slay their fucking nazarene

ah. the lies. the jew. i kill for you

hidden lusts will break the gates and swarm

as love secretes the thrill for war

the virgin raped shall seek to whore

she-wolf bare your snarling jaw
