Lustmord And Wargasm Ii (the Relicking Of Cadaverous Wounds) Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

An Archangel in bondage 

Bediademed, souled 

With a murder of ravens 

But no less Astarte to behold 

Abandoned by Heaven 

To the dead, dark and past 

Cast her dispersions 

On life's brittle glass 

And though her eyes still held fire 

As stonewalls caged the beast 

'Gainst the lassitudes of Death 

She fought but fell to greet 

And midst lies in collusion 

She was martyred to teach 

That Divinity and Lust 

Are forever forbidden to meet

But I swore that they would 

Before the veil could part our embrace 

Twixt her cold, silent hips, I kissed 

And promised Christendom in flames 

Gravid with madness 

Like a feculent dirge 

That obsesses the heart 

I am convened by words 

To avenge her Ebon splendor and surrender 

My soul to the dead to achieve 

Prophecies of libidinous scourge 

Horripilation braying over carious herds 

Vexing nightmares 

And their weak prayers 

To a no one there 

To hinder her decree 

To weed the world of their disease 

Photos 

As shadows unblind mine eyes to see 

The meat that is their congregation 

How they plead to the skies 

But this is mere foreplay to war 

Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal 

Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest 

A psychophant, the despoiler of faith 

Now his skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese 

For her interred 

I tore a battle banner from his hide 

Splashed in red goetia 

Hues of Hell and deicide 

So came the night 

Its obsidian light 

Is a master whom disasters 

Suck upon like concubines 

And under black skirts 

That whisper of delight 

Dark seeds near fruition 

Darked deeds to marry mine 

In Death's bed, I have lain 

Paying lip-service to shame 

But for dreaming of thee, I regain 

A reason to seek life again 

Then we smite the divine 

For our true nature is sin 

To strip tender flesh from these swine 

Like the lick of carnivorous winds 

The breath of the storm that begins 

By forcing its Herod tongue in 

The womb of the Holy Virgin 

To taste of immaculate sin 

From temptation's peak, we will see 

The world unfurled at last 

Now the wolves of time who stalk mankind 

Shall be as one in grim repast 

Commemorating sickle moons 

The pack are poised to reap 

A scythe of white roses in bloom 

Whose twisted thorns will keep 

A crown upon a dead man 

Daylights crucified in sleep 

And lives that hide in scriptured lies 

To the memories of a scream 

And we shall dance amid the ruin 

As Adam and Evil 

Dizzy at the falling stars 

That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval 

If all must we damn for this moment 

Then it shall be so 

For our souls have crossed oceans of time 

To clasp one another more tightly 

Than Death could alone 

As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl 

The talons of lust rake a clarion call 

To the lick of carnivorous winds 

To the lick of carnivorous winds 

Gravid with madness 

Like a feculent dirge 

That obsesses the heart 

I am convened by words 

To avenge her Ebon splendor and surrender 

My soul to the dead to achieve 

Prophecies of libidinous scourge 

Horripilation braying over carious herds 

Vexing nightmares 

And their weak prayers 

To a no one there 

To hinder her decree 

To weed the world of their disease 

As shadows unblind mine eyes to see 

The meat that is their congregation 

[Incomprehensible]
