Desire In Violent Overture Lyrics - Cruelty And The Beast - Cradle Of Filth

Nights came tralling ghost concertos 

Heartstrings a score of skeletal reaper bows 

Playing torture chamber music allegretto 

Conducting over throes trashed to crescendo 

Skinless the dark shall scream 

Hoarse Her symphonies 

Deathmashed as the moon 

That had lifted Her dreams 

And frowned on the winding steps down 

To where the vulgar strayed, 

Taunting sick Her tender prey 

She glided in Her bridal gown 

How sleep the pure 

Desire in Violent Overture

An emanation of phantom madness 

The Countess beheld in shroud 

By girls bereft of future vows 

Soon to wed in white the frosted ground 

Burning like a brand on the countenance of god 

A yearning took Her hand to His Seraphim, bound 

Deep red hissed the cat whips 

On the whim of ill-will 

Whilst She entranced, nonchalant, abliss 

Flayed further songs of overkill 

How weep the pure 

Desire in Violent overture 

In a crescent-whime cellar of crushed roses 

Pooled blood and broken dolls 

A torchlit shadow theatre souled 

With the echoed cries of lives She stole 

Photos 

Killing time 

She struck the hours dead 

In Her control 

Thus menopaused 

Her clock of hacked out cunts 

Began to toll 

"Thirteen chimes of ancient strain 

I conjure forth with dirge 

That fills the void with timbred pain 

To fulfil my sexual urge" 

Frights came wailing from the Darkside 

Haunting lipless mouths a fugue of arcane diatribes 

Velvet, their voices coffined Her in slumber 

Bespattered and appeased 

As pregnant skies outside bore thunder 

How sleep the pure 

Desire in violent overture 

As when high winds 

Attune whipped trees 

Her savage nature pitched 

Would once again conduct the pleas 

Of those She loved to agonies 

As if it were 

The first time every night 

That She carved Her seal 

In the flesh of life.
