Beauty Slept In Sodom [explicit] Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

Death, spirit me away 

My anguished soul doth strain 

On taut and twisted reins 

Yet, insatiate I still remain 

Like a proud, unfalled star 

That dares thee from afar 

To calm my thund'rous heart 

Else, rend it's knots apart 

So I may never sing 

Of jewelled skies o'er my strings 

And love, a wanton thing 

Can plunge on burnt, black wings 

To hang amid the thorns 

In scarlet, like velvet worn 

About the clouded moon 

Who wanes in solitude

I am alone 

Thirsting for the dark 

That lurks beneath marbled stone 

What black witchcraft 

Shalt prise thee from thy dreams 

And what perverse world-strategy 

Will wend it's way with thee from sleep? 

"Rouse my disease 

And with cadent naked dance I shalt teach 

Thee wisdom of darkness 

From earth and red sea 

Light bearing Samael 

Coalesce with me" 

Twilight 

Through pagan city gates 

Bred shadows play like twining snake 

By candlelight 

Thanateros rites 

Death seduced and chaos wakes 

Photos 

Obsession grips, blindragon fever 

In throes of scythed orgasm, Eros dies 

And Saturn rapes faith's lovelorn Diva 

Upon a cyprean altar, stripped bare for sacrifice 

Virtue births a demon 

Pandora's box, unhinged, sets loose the night 

Winged lilith born for want of Eden 

Fanning plumes of harlotry 

Like pearls before the desert swine 

The skies, they darken 

And the oceans part 

Storm forth indignant Kraken 

Reborn Venus as thou art 

Feasting at my banquet 

Of Saturnalia 

I call thee having wrestled 

The tides from lonely Diana 

"For thee Endymion 

I forsake the cerements of this star-flung tomb" 

Be-with-us come 

Unveil the ancient flame 

Throw the cats our enemies 

Desire's menstrual strain 

Eastern Devil eyes 

A cruel erotic plague 

The Shekhina is in exile 

And the Israelites enslaved to shame 

Midnight 

Jerusalem 

A tenebrous phantasy 

Revelates to men 

Their celestial walls crumble 

When walks the Xul 

Born to the scarlet whore in Babylon 

The centuries of wait have all but gone 

Behold dark beauty stirs to conquer on and on 

Now worship everything
