The Smoke Of Her Burning Lyrics - Damnation And A Day - Cradle Of Filth

Earth and sea cower from my screams 

As I climb into the skies 

Atop sins towered Heaven high for me 

From whence I see no reason why 

I should not smite with vengeance 

And hurl thieves down from paradise 

For storms before were as nothing more 

Than a breeze next to this night 

I am Methuselah of the tribulation 

The moon child come to harm 

A riot of stars, shaken from their station 

The chokin' smoke of Jerusalem burnin' 

Six vices become wrath

And though half-blind with ravenin' 

Like Phineus now I see 

The end declared from the beginnin' 

Love won through my defeat 

But now I fear I will never peer 

On her radiance again 

I shall glimpse instead, the slurried red 

Of faces pressed to bloodstained panes 

Betrayed and played by God 

Who alone but he 

Scapegraced and goated me? 

Now I wish to piss on his parade 

Angels, clawed with burnished wings 

Still loyal, kiss the seal 

Bent on knees and harrowing 

Promise overkill

Know that you shall die like whores 

And the cries of your writhings shall rise 

To please their Lord, so before the sword 

Side with me in slaughter 

I am Methuselah of the tribulation 

The moon child come to harm 

The spoken horns of desolation 

Drink the pouring of my fury 

Those darkened waters spur 

The brink of war as judge and jury 

And rapist executioner 

Our time is short, the horsemen ride 

A foul-breathed chorea howls, besides 

Damnation and a day has passed 

This divine right to genocide 

Weld the gates to Heaven shut 

The abyss leers in hissing ruts 

Unhilt the black grimoire of death 

Inscribe all names that God has left 

I lived the drams of nymphs and men 

But now the nightmares, come again 

Now the nightmares come again
