Truth & Agony Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

Mother's milk has soured 

My life's a bolted door 

And from it runs 

A trail of vagrant gore 

My wounds are open flowers 

Fragrant gifts for my encore 

Bouquets of praise for bleeding, towered 

On the sacrificial floor 

I summoned and you came 

To the peel of twisted bells 

To the gelid whisper of my name 

I blanched, erotic danger 

Had me whirling like a star 

To the dark advance of strangers

And then I heard you laugh 

A throat of broken glass 

Leather stitched to weeping skin 

A coat of death and suppuration 

Be my truth and agony 

An architect for my total destruction 

My erector, my dissector 

My flesh will be wet for your best seduction 

Be my truth and agony 

Inventive and deranged 

Loves proof is in, its plain to see 

The fluids we've exchanged 

Part of these soul killers 

The Gestapo-hood of scars 

Carved an ornate invitation on my heart 

Photos 

The scent of French vanilla 

With the stench of abattoirs 

Past tense of present lay things 

On those stained red lips ajar 

I summoned and you came 

From the churning guts of hell 

With your Christmas hiss of chains 

Down the endless centuries 

Your torture bed of lust 

A shrine for us to redesign 

And sign in blood and rust 

Be my truth and agony 

An architect for my total destruction 

My erector, my dissector 

My flesh caressed by your best corruption 

Be my truth and agony 

Inventive and deranged 

Love's roof is in, it's meant to be 

My cells are rearranged 

I suffered and you came 

To the splintering of bones 

Winning pinnacles for my pain 

Raped and racked and mutilated 

I raised from dregs again 

Autopsy-turvy, back elated 

In brazen arms that sacked my veins 

Skinnatra, take me to the stars 

Thrust me through to paradise 

Endorphins breaking fast 

Creature from the black abyss 

Teacher, sadomasochist 

Your tortured soul has led me 

To this altered state of bliss
