Haunted Shores Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

Herodias and I have led a phantom cavalcade 

Through veiled and pagan history where superstitions reigned 

And Christendom sought to pervert, but poets of my name 

Sang of penumbral victories that sorcery had claimed 

The Graal and mighty Caliburn as votive offerings 

To an England rearisen under vast majestic wings 

These are the shores whereto my soul 

Blood drenched and unredeemed 

Shalt seek solace in secrets told 

Through the whispers of a dream 

From the woods Pendragon-born, I rose Arcturius 

A proud, audacious King mantled in the 

Vehemence of lust 

Death and destiny undaunted me, I drew a throne divided 

In awe of the glorious battles won, my dark Goddess provided 

Then treachery, a wingless beast, came crawling to my court 

And now I lie at cursed Camlann, from wounds a traitor wrought

I fear the Augean light 

Is sweeping through Camelot 

How bittersweet my triumphs seem, 

Now Autumnal leaves succumb to frost 

Morganna art thou near me? 

Languid, I wend my path to grave 

Cast my sword to the sulphyd grasp 

Of the naiad neath the silvered lake 

When waters stirred lay silent 

Mistress let the mists descend 

Thy tears cannot thaw Death's cold heart 

His sombre gaze defies legend 

More so than thine, else thy dew-lidded eyes 

Art for the Banshees song 

Or our souls entwined like vein upon 

The haunted shores of Avalon 

The haunted shores of Avalon 

Photos 

Bury me in velvet dream 

Lest I unduly wake 

And seek to reconcile my thirst 

With the cowardly tailors of my fate 

Unleash mastiffs of snarling night 

To overthrow, plague and burn 

As slumber lures me 'mongst the dead 

To scheme of my return 

Archaic ghostly echoes breathe like thunder of the storm 

A tempest fools miscall divine as they crouch awaiting dawn 

Their ignorance has forged for me over 

Centuries a sword 

Burnished to flash like lightning on the precipice of war 

The wolves are dead in Albion whilst the 

Passive flocks roam free 

This my penetrant spearhead shalt pierce these foul, 

Trespassing breeds 

I have awoken from the past 

Glenfully with the shadows over England's bitter skies 

I prize mine wounds in a soil sweated drink 

Remember me as king when I cradle hell to stars 

Like lovers in my arms, nestled vipers to my breast 

Venom forces workthius arts of devil's and priestess 

Thus I shall rule anew through the sinews of a song 

Played upon a storm 

By the ghosts of Avalon 

And all in league will bow to me, from death they shall ascend 

To whisper weals of war to stir the dark one in men
