Cradle Of Filth - Beauty Slept in Sodom (Original Sin) lyrics

d**h, spirit me away My anguished soul doth strain On taut and twisted reins Yet, insatiate I remain A proud, unfallen star That dares thee from afar To calm my thund'rous heart Yet rend it's knot apart So i may never sing Of red skies o'er my strings And love, a wanton thing Can plunge on burnt, black wings To hang amid the thorns Scarlet like velvet worn About the cloud-wracked moon Who wanes in solitude.... I am alone Thirsting for the dark That breathes beneath the stone What black witchcraft Shall cast me from thy dreams And what perverse world-strategy Will crawl with thee from sleep? "Rouse my disease And with cadent naked dance i shalt teach Thee wisdom of darkness from earth and red sea Lightbearing Samael Coalesce with me...." Twilight Through frosted gates Entwining shadows of the snake By candlelight Thanateros rites d**h seduced and chaos wakes Obsession grips, blindragon fever In throes of scythed orgasm, Eros dies And Saturn raped faith's lovelorn Diva Upon a cyprean altar Stripped bare for sacrifice Virtue births a demon Pandora"s box, unhinged, sets loose the night Winged Lilith born for want of Eden Fanning plumes of harlotry Like pearls before the desert swine In time, the ocean parts Storm as a Kraken Reborn Venus as thou art Feeding at my banquet Of Saturnalia I call thee having wrestled The tides from Diana "For thee Endymion I forsake the cerements Of this star-flung tomb" Be-with-us come Unveil the ancient flame Throw the cats our enemies Desire's menstrual stain Eastern Devil eyes A cruel erotic plague The Shekhina is in exile And the Israelites.... enslaved Midnight Jerusalem A tenebrous phantasy Revelates to men Their celestial walls crumble When walks the Xul Born to the scarlet who*e of Babylon
