All Hope In Eclipse Lyrics - Bitter Suites To Succubi - Cradle Of Filth

A thousand nights once succored Me 

In the shadow of Miss Anne Thropy 

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 

Synced 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 enthrall a mindless zombie race

All hail, all hail, all hail the serpentine's gift 

All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse 

Black bibles I inscribed, 

The words "Damnation through design" 

Seemed a bitter truth far better for the lie 

For as hope was felled by reason 

Forlorn became the season 

And Death was swift to swallow on the hells of life 

Lowered souls, growing cold, tendered easy prey 

When heaven's flock, a fair game, dropped 

I bored of war with God with greater thrones to claim 

All hail, all hail, all hail the Libertine's wish 

All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse 

(There was not a prayer left in this wretched world) 

Then between the past and the ravening dark 

A sly Messiah came 

In the thick of treaty with obligatory greed 

She stole the soul hate had sold away 

Photos 

An ancient chill blew down the centuries 

That night atonement's eyes 

Lit a burning man in Me 

When love lay bleeding 

And Fates sate feeding 

From wounds gored 'neath 

Those cherubic wings 

She of kindred light 

Gladly sacrificed 

Eternity 

Just to be 

With Me 

As the moon whose silvered fingers play 

On words and dreams too cursed for day 

She led my hand to lands I'd not accrued 

Where the Faun Dawn bathed Her golden hair 

And faith renewed, leapt joyous there 

I praised their worth, then planned their conquest too 

All hail, all hail, all hail the serpentine's gift 

All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse 

All hail, all hail, all hail the Libertine's wish 

All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse 

And ignorance is truly bliss
