Deceiving Eyes Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

On the night all mirrors fell silent 

And the clocks struck accord with the rain 

A storm swept in with such violence 

The dead rose to complain 

The stars were ill-crossed as the weather 

Lost in its bitumen cloak 

The Angels were warring, slick with endeavour 

Falling like tears through the thickening smoke 

Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder 

A flood of souls scream on the rolling thunder 

Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder 

She stirs from dreams barely three feet under

"Victoria, I come to claim my prize 

Stealing from the convent 'neath the wrath of seething skies 

For though you greased the palm of Satan 

With those moonlit silver thighs 

I knew the beast took second place 

When I looked into your eyes 

Your deceiving eyes 

Filled with lies 

And missed good byes 

And serpents hissing revelations 

Your deceiving eyes 

They tell enough 

Of how I fell in love 

With the goddess creeping deep inside you" 

And with the tumult up above him roaring 

Isaac sought her shallow grave 

As lightning bolted through the grim down-pouring rain 

He struck the hallowed earth again 

Photos 

Having torn at the soil like a man insane 

Не threw his fists at the poisonous cosmos 

And from that pit of shame 

He bore the coffin from her sorry lot 

Neath trees whose eaves were knotted with rot 

Through ornate chapel doors, unlocked 

To splinter her sarcophagus 

And gaze upon her face 

Victoria 

"Victoria, I come to claim my prize 

Stealing from the convent 'neath the wrath of seething skies 

For though you greased the palm of Satan 

With those moonlit silver thighs 

Making mockery of rosaries 

His needs will never rival mine 

I recall a summer's day 

The sunlight bathed your penitential scars 

As I sat and washed the blood away 

Now your body stays 

And the coldness of your lips 

Eclipse 

Like the first true kiss of winter" 

Pining for the dead 

On the stone floor spread 

She was shining through her winding shroud 

A moon amid the mad, this son of Adam had 

A gift for the pretty young nun 

A necklace wrought of twining snakes 

Two gold illicit tongues 

He laid it at her throat 

Where the rope had wrung 

He was burning from the furnace 

Of his roused desire 

He wrested with temptation 

To be or unfulfilled 

She was undressed for ovation 

Her sumptuous form, the storm revealed 

And with his driven lust exploding 

Her lashes brushed his cheeks 

They flickered with life, her limbs enfolding 

Purring, licking wicked teeth 

"Victoria, I come to claim my prize 

Stealing from the convent neath the wrath of seething skies 

For though you greased the palm of Satan 

With those moonlit silver thighs 

You have left him just for me 

I see it in deceiving eyes 

Those deceiving eyes 

Filled with lies 

And missed good byes 

And serpents hissing revelations 

Those deceiving eyes 

They tell enough 

Of how I fell in love 

With the goddess re-arisen in you"
