Mistress From The Sucking Pit Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

Oh dear God 

It is midnight in the labyrinth 

The night is set to taint the painted halls 

Moonlight is our cue 

The candelabra flicker at your passing gall 

I swear they're dancing just for you 

The dead leaves rustle on the manor lawns 

As a light breeze whispers through 

The call of wolves, the owls lament 

Our screams shall soon soar skyward too 

Mistress from the sucking pit 

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet 

The stars are passing observations 

Her voice is music, her legs go on 

Shes got full orchestration 

And been known to use it 

But trepidation is a far slicker song

Amongst dull suitors 

She is bright and razor sharp 

A tree of woe up-rooter 

A viper still at heart 

Shes alkaline and far acidic 

As sweet as clementines 

This mistress from the sucking pit 

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet 

The stars are passing observations 

Her voice is music, her legs go on 

She's got full orchestration 

And been known to use it 

But trepidation is a far slicker song 

Mistress from the sucking pit 

Oh dear God 

It is midnight in the labyrinth 

Photos 

Embossed by her postulant gaze 

Like Medusa on a plinth 

I am lost in her embrace 

Oh dear God 

It is midnight in the labyrinth 

A peacock fan of sinful eyes 

Swim wide across the room 

This night, espied, your thin disguise 

Does wonders for the sundered gloom 

For all lit up the shades retreat 

To dark Italian pews 

And corners where great vases stand 

Abrim with thoughts of naked dais with you 

Mistress from the sucking pit 

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet 

The stars are passing observations 

Her needs are dire, her rites are wrong 

She burns with exultation like a fiery vampire 

For desperation is a far slicker song 

Amongst dull suitors 

She's bright and razor sharp 

A tree of woe uprooter 

A viper still at heart 

She's alkaline and far acidic 

Fluidic, serpentine 

This mistress from the sucking pit 

The waiters pass in gilded frames 

With glasses sparkling too 

The ball tonight rows magical 

Like the finest Venice threw 

And at it's heart a mythic queen 

Her skin of purest hue 

Whose beauty is unquestionable 

But whose duties are askew 

For beneath the airs and divine graces 

A slim tornado whirls 

On the precipice of her poisonous kiss 

The Devil dwells deep inside this girl 

Embossed by her postulant gaze 

Like Medusa on a plinth 

I am lost in her embrace 

Oh dear God 

It is midnight in the labyrinth 

Embossed by her postulant gaze 

Like Medusa on a plinth 

I am lost in her embrace 

Oh dear God 

It is midnight in the labyrinth 

Mistress from the sucking pit 

The wine has sat and breathed it's last 

In blood red ruby where 

I find you by the roaring hearth 

A blaze of golden hair 

Cascading down an angel's face 

To pool about the breasts 

That man minds have wondered on 

But only I caress 

And then I'm yours, the velvet crown 

Of Venus in my hands 

Fists rip hard the eiderdown 

Desire firebrands 

Every mountain, every route 

My wanton tongue must take 

To taste that once forbidden fruit 

Before your blood-lust starts to
