Doberman Pharaoh Lyrics - Damnation And A Day - Cradle Of Filth

To and fro, through freeze and thaws 

From zenith to nadir 

The universal tug of war 

Saw lines drawn in the sands appear 

Divisions of a promised land 

And hell for those that dwelt 

Beneath a pharaoh's granite hand 

Where death wed something else 

Millennia swam passed 

Since the covened ark 

Ran aground on ararat... 

But anew, tempered shadows grew 

Out of midian, strewing fear 

Over verdant lawns, the resurgent storms 

Led a desert son to sear

From the palace orchard I espied... 

(where swooning trees and moonless beams vied 

For the painted eye of the royal bride 

Whose gliding curves were deified) 

...beyond her grace where love would die 

Wretched destiny arrive 

Back and forth the prophet came 

Riddled with a tongue of plagues 

That would render might egypt lame 

If the rage of God stayed unassuaged... 

I listened with a heavy heart 

But unveiled to the threats 

This hebrew in a jackal's mask 

Would dredge into effect 

Thenceforth the nile reddened 

S if set stretched his hand 

To beset the damned 

Photos 

And bruised with flies 

The skies grew leadened 

But these miracles, feared 

Were all but reared 

By nature, whose law alone 

Stood that revered 

This hysteria passed, but still the mark 

Of yahveh burned on in the dark 

One final time, on the steps to the shrine 

Of thoth, I twined with fate 

"let my people go" 

"still my word is no" 

"then death shall be the deciding plague" 

Since the crimes divine I left behind 

I'd warred with every tribe that plied 

In holy vestament, but with time 

Bored sore of clawing what was mine 

I laid my bones and made my throne 

With a view to paradise 

Thenceforth the heavens deafened 

As if great beasts 

Were unleashed to feast on man 

And with carrion span 

Michael was weaponed 

To descend with scorn 

A dark reform 

Through pi-ramses 

Skinning mine and her firstborn 

Thus suspiria passed each sacred mark 

Of yahveh, bleeding in the dark 

With nauseous dawn, a cry, forlorn 

Unified from plazas deep 

The prophet's curse 

Far worse had worked 

To wrest the war in me from sleep 

Drowned in light, a downward light 

Bathed the snaking exodus 

Through the wilderness 

As the aeons crept 

Impressed with fresh bloodlust
