Gabrielle Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

Foul snake despair 

Where once you darkened gardens 

Another coils there 

Where twice you sliced all hope from me 

And left these present scars 

An insane love now burns above 

The weft of incandescent stars 

Hilt your dripping fangs that range 

Skywards to rend apart 

I might have sang of wings unchained 

But long before I locked my heart 

For Gabrielle 

A fit and perfect stitch of foreign parts 

Whose beauty fostered poets 

Whose laugh like silver belts 

Thawed your bitter winter from my path

Gabrielle 

Foul snake despair 

Where once you peddled secrets 

Another spoils there 

With speech that sweetens drowning 

In deep lagoons of eyes 

And legs that begged apologies 

For lengths that mesmerized 

Spare your hissing sentiments 

For her fee welts more than thine 

Though no malice she weans 

Just a palace of dreams 

Where windswept chambers pine 

For Gabrielle 

Whose hair-spun onyx is run with gold 

Her rouge lips smack of dark blood 

Her name in whisper rolls 

Forever on my tongue 

Lest her memory dissolve

Gabrielle 

Oh, Gabrielle 

Once crucified 

I would have died 

A thousand more times 

Just to feel her breath 

On my neck as a fervent lover 

To drown her sighs 

In floods of tears so well refined 

And blind from spying her 

In the arms of others 

Gabrielle 

Gabrielle 

Buried inside 

Where she's all but mine 

Save for those that dine 

Oh her, on her perfect carcass 

Gabrielle 

Gabrielle 

Foul snake despair 

Where once you wreaked my misery 

Another toils there 

For long lost Gabrielle 

Whose nightly spreading grin 

Persists in other faces 

By whom I'm slowly taken in 

Absinthe With Faust 

Pour the emerald wine 

Into crystal glasses 

We will touch the divine 

Through kisses catharsis 

Let us pitch to the seven-year itch 

Of the ultra-decadent 

To a tainted world and the painted girls 

That our fantasies spent 

Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes 

Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams 

A toast to those most sacrilegious of days 

Where for every whim won 

One soon repays 

We touched the stars 

That now laugh from afar 

At we, the damned 

The damned 

The damned 

The damned 

We have spent our time 

Drenched in opulent splendour 

But when midnight chimes 

Will gilded souls surrender? 

Let us drink on the giddying brink 

Of pools of excrement 

All manner of shit for the glamour and glitz 

Mephistopheles lent 

I remember the night as if it were engraved 

A bright marble bridge stretched across the dark waves 

To the shore from the moon and by her grace 

Came that erudite stranger 

That fucker 

Come my friend, to fate let's raise 

Two finger shots at this our last soiree 

For tomorrow I fear 

Swoops all too deadly near 

This precipitous weir to Hell's high gate 

We touched the stars 

That now laugh from afar 

At we, the damned 

The damned 

The damned 

The damned
