Mannequin Lyrics - Damnation And A Day - Cradle Of Filth

Led to other worlds 

By the girls she curled within 

I took their skins to see her 

Be my mannequin 

Be my mannequin 

I cannot remember 

How it was that we first met 

Curve of moon and haunted shore 

The stars were not those heaven sent

Did we come together 

At masked palatial balls 

In silks and flesh and leather 

Or did we come at all? 

I dreamt a midnight castle 

The eerie song of wolves 

And eyes that danced with fire 

As they have forever more 

Our rites of sin 

Have long fathered a hymn 

To burden him 

Whom by slip of after whim 

At genesis 

Dressed her like the wind 

In autumn gowns 

That pinned her down 

To be my mannequin 

Photos 

Be my mannequin 

Always poised on winter 

But never would she break 

My lovecraft and black witch heart 

That pounded in her wake 

We kissed on distant balconies 

A law unto her own 

Thirteenth dark commandment 

Of figures pressed to stone 

Turning cream with fantasies 

That God alone would know 

We graced vomitorium 

With the sweet excess of rome 

Flagrant in the past 

Our names were deeply carved on the tree of life in long dead languages 

Led to other worlds 

By the girls she curled within 

I took their skins to see her 

Be my mannequin 

Be my mannequin 

I tongued the nuns at louviers 

But not one word possessed 

Her divine right, an archetype 

For mortal goddesses...
