Retreat Of The Sacred Heart Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

She slept in ecstasy 

In hands that fanned her wildest fantasies 

Freed from Christ's frigid regime 

And rigid nails 

She was first in church 

To lick her lips and self-debased 

Each waking second felt like heaven 

In the scarlet One's embrace 

And at last, clear memories, aghast 

Relinquished their control 

All things held dear to the wretched past 

Coalesced within her soul

Madness crept into her sight 

Though her sinful hair 

Spoke of nothing to the contrary 

Once dulled eyes leaped alive with life 

Her piece of broken mirror 

Barely recognized 

The worm was turning 

For her sat grinning Victoria 

Who, no three weeks ago 

Was flogged red to euphoria 

For her dour love of God 

And the ardor of his crows 

Cold cloisters kept the dead apart 

At the Retreat of the Sacred Heart 

She stepped in ecstasy 

Neath skies that plied her wildest fantasies 

Freed into love's reacquainted dream 

And sudden gales

Night grew sultry late September 

A man came from the village 

Through the woods 

To help with harvest 

She was burning like the fields 

All her vows lay unfulfilled 

His name was Isaac, silent, blessed 

A mute whose tongue impressed her lately 

But now red skies darken 

The roonks lament 

Windswept maelstroms harken 

The approach of Lilith's 

Nightmare kingdom 

The woman in her astral dreams 

Became more vivid, livid, obscene 

Scatted on the throne of oayx blasphemies 

Emanating raw desire 

And the surging urge to scream 

Darkness crept into her face 

She stood erect 

And spook of riches and their whereabouts 

Finding in Isaac the need to place 

A hidden Templer necklace 

Lest the month run out 

For now stormed the vainglorious 

In her palace of mass delight 

Her power dawned victorious 

Victoria the key, her mind unfastened 

By flights of morbid fancy 

Psychomancy, rites of ancient wrong 

Sweet seductions, peaked corruptions 

Spiking through impatient song 

Cold cloister kept the dead apart 

At The Retreat of the Sacred Heart 

The gate to hell was forced apart 

At The Retreat of the Sacred Heart
