The Spawn Of Love And War Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

Poets racking absinthed brains 

Could never fully paint these nights 

No martyr parting from his pain 

Could utter words so erudite 

As those she now divulged to me 

In throes of passions grip 

Indulging latent fantasies 

That ran forked tongues along the lip 

Of fate's pudenda 

The twisted snake's agenda 

Now the world would bend 

To her deadly legacy 

Life's graveyard was waiting, such dizzying flight 

From the convent at All Hallows Fair 

Without contemplating, we fled through the night 

Too blood-drunk and cunt-sated to care

The Goddess had spoken 

And woken desire 

It crackled in the air around us 

A psychic force shimmering like fire 

And on her breasts. that old necklace 

The one I snuck from the fucked Abbess 

Whose dirty little secret, other than me 

Now shone with bold intensity 

Vast the power it possessed 

The darkness Brought to living flesh 

This treasure was ancient, taken by force 

From an elite caste of priests in Delphi 

The Templars were patient, they stayed out the course 

Then fleeced their Greek hosts in their sleep 

That necklace traversed 

Vile murders and miles worse 

But what was a curse 

To this perverse demoness? 

Photos 

Legend swore it was a gift of malice 

For the maiden Harmonia 

The illegitimate spawn of love arid war 

Jealousy made it gleam for her 

For with it clasped, her looking glass 

Was ever beautiful and young 

But disaster choked her royal caste 

And every throat on which it hung 

There madness, death and horror clung 

Immortalised in mortal guise 

She was a sight for blighted eyes 

A plague to gladly plagiarize 

And spread like red excited kisses 

She was more than me 

More than wards 

Could fulfill in the parlance of the angels 

She cast a spell on every cell 

In my nobody 

She gave me back my tongue 

That she might run it on herself 

She was Lilith. she was light 

I was but a parasite 

Beckoned to temptation 

In her velvet overtones 

Through frozen antics, dressed in white 

She led me into paradise 

Neath comets in ovation 

Like the Queen of winter, throned... 

Pleasures archetypal 

Then much rarer agonies 

I was a sworn disciple 

Of her whims and dark decrees 

In Europe's hair 

Her spies were everywhere 

A sylph amongst the filthy rich and debonair 

Her greater plan 

All chaos and the all of man 

For as she fed dark appetites 

She bred her children there 

The spawn of love and war 

Presiding over Hellfire clubs 

Arch-masons and Agharta 

The spawn of love and war 

She rode the beast. her legs apart 

A blazing pyre starter 

Life's playground elated, such dizzying sights 

And sensations ignited her grin 

As slaves celebrated her Satanic rites 

We climbed up to heaven in sin 

She came to me 

As she will come to You 

Intoxicating in her seduction 

Her siren sway. devastating voodoo 

Persistent, resistance is useless, fool 

To this Goddess, in lust she's cruel 

Beyond any measure, her pleasures will found 

A perverted Eden on sacred ground 

Vast the power I caressed 

The darkness brought to vivid flesh 

And in it she now rules a cowered universe
