[00:00.00] Cradle Of Filth - From The Cradle To Enslave
[00:23.68]
[00:32.69] Two thousand fattened years like maniacs
[00:35.57] Have despoiled our common grave
[00:39.17] Now what necrophagous Second Coming backs
[00:42.52] From the cradle to enslave?
[00:46.27]
[00:52.30] Sickle constellations
[00:55.30] Stud the belts that welt the sky
[00:58.48] Whilst the bitter winter moon
[01:00.09] Prowls the cloud, dead-eyed
[01:01.77] Like shifting parent flesh
[01:03.32] Under silk matricide...
[01:04.59]
[01:05.29] Watchful as she was upon Eden
[01:08.18] Where every rose arbour and orchard she swept
[01:11.57] Hid the hissing of a serpent Libido
[01:15.19] In an ancient tryst with catastrophe
[01:17.55] Soon the be kept
[01:19.34]
[01:20.15] Hear that hissing now on the breeze
[01:23.22] As through the plundered groves of the carnal garden
[01:26.54] A fresh horror blows but ten billion souls
[01:29.26] Are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees
[01:34.91]
[01:37.93] This is the theme to a better Armageddon
[01:41.33] Nightchords rake the heavens
[01:42.85] PAN DAEMON AEAON
[01:45.31]
[01:46.34] And what use are prayers to that god?
[01:49.27] As devils bay concensus for the space to piss
[01:52.30] On your smouldering faith
[01:53.97] And the mouldering face
[01:55.49] Of this world long a paradise lost
[01:59.84]
[02:01.37] This is the end of everything
[02:07.44] "Hear the growing chora that a new dawn shall bring"
[02:10.17]
[02:10.65] Danse macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac
[02:14.19] Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
[02:16.78] What sick nativities will be freed when those lights burn black?
[02:20.68] The darkside of the mirror always threw our malice back...
[02:23.78]
[02:27.81] I see the serpentine in your eyes
[02:34.24] The nature of the beast as revelations arrive
[02:49.46]
[02:51.11] Our screams shall trail to Angels
[02:53.88] For those damned in flames repay
[02:58.34] All sinners lose their lot on Judgement Day
[03:04.20] We should have cut our looses as at Calvary
[03:07.50] But our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief
[03:11.57] Salvation, like a promised nation
[03:14.45] Gleamed a claim away...
[03:18.02]
[03:18.99] This is the end of everything you have ever known
[03:24.68] Buried like vanquished reason
[03:27.42] Death is season
[03:29.05] Drive like the drifting snow
[03:34.28]
[03:43.76] Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasising war
[03:46.62] On our knees or another fucker's shore
[03:50.48] Heiling new flesh
[03:51.14] Read, then roared
[03:51.79] To a crooked cross and a Holy Cause
[03:53.75] What else be whipped to frenzy for?
[03:56.07]
[04:00.48] This is the end of everything
[04:06.67] "Rear the tragedies
[04:07.87] That the Seraphim shall sing"
[04:09.40]
[04:09.93] Old adversaries
[04:11.28] Next to Eve
[04:12.02] Now they're clawing back
[04:13.36] I smell their cumming
[04:14.80] As through webbed panes of meat
[04:16.37] Led by hoary Death
[04:17.55] They never left
[04:18.31] Dreaming sodomies
[04:19.59] To impress on human failure
[04:20.97] When we've bled upon our knees
[04:27.57]
[04:35.93] Tablatures of gravel law
[04:38.73] Shall see Gehennah paved
[04:42.14] When empires fall
[04:44.16] And nightmares crawl
[04:46.12] From the cradle to enslave....
[04:51.51]
[04:52.80] This is the end of everything
[04:59.35] This is the end of everything
[05:05.71] This is the end of everything
[05:12.29] This is the end of everything
[05:18.74] This is the end of everything
[05:25.45] This is the end of everything
[05:31.95] This is the end of everything
[05:38.42] This is the end of everything...
[05:44.84]
