Cradle Of Filth - d**h, The Great Adventure lyrics

Sometimes red curtains fall Before the act has headed for the wings As on that night disaster crawled out from the stalls... Suddenly the dark, the thickest Stygian dark Pressing on all sides with vertigo Running from the quickest in the sickest abyss My spirit's lifted by an angel of woe A dredged up dreadful past Drags discordant thoughts my way Unforgiven and driven to despair I sense the mordant wraith Azazel Standing there Now the vision simmers I spy a distant gleam Racing ever closer Through this persistent dream And by its welcome glimmer Writhing into sight The brutish groping nightmares That hide beside the light Then a roar And a voice like a pride of lions Thunders from the maw In a blackened ma** The creatures flee Screaming bloody murder as A shining gateway opens for me d**h, the great adventure At the peril of my soul I welcome d**h, the great avenger Spared this awful realm Where those who stalk the living haunt the murk Untethered pleasures keep them tied to flawed Humana Floating upward still, to where the tunnel mouth reveals Two manticores that ward an ebon door I muster lean resolve, as the luminance dissolves And I am thrust headlong before their venomous jaws I am in darkness again But here accursedness is vastly deeper Unforgiven and given to torment I am nothing Grotesque, grotesque bereft of judgement This abyss, a void Where stripped of all but self One must wish to be destroyed To pa** on somewhere else Beyond this pit of wicked shouts I madness and fallacies Aeons I failed to rail my doubts Before fear left love saving me Then a roar And a voice like the clash or titans Thunders from the maw In a seething ma** The horrors flee Screaming bloody murder as A shrouded sky opens immensely Listen! What eden shall arise Abundant from the cliefs that stunt hell's Redundant cries? A view of breathtaking beauty Unveils, as the sun disperses Perversities d**h, the great adventure For the glory of my soul I welcome d**h, the great avenger The damaged man revives With dawning truth, this morning suits The world I left abruptly In exaltation, I find myself alive Near d**h to steer a life longed corruptly The sweet silver chord that keeps me more I know that heaven sent her From the cold to hold her face again I rose from d**h, the great adventure
