Soft White Throat Lyrics
|
Cradle Of Filth
|
|
A voyeur in league with the great thief night
|
In an overthrow of woven light
|
Slid in to rob the prayers
|
She whispered to the air with thin deliberation
|
|
Spare me from the wolves
|
Clawing past my door
|
Tear me from the ghouls
|
That start to gnaw my fingers
|
|
Following her heart
|
And every beat that spoke
|
I kissed her risen, naked
|
Soft white throat
|
|
Soft white throat
|
|
Incense lit at perfection's feet
|
Has never burnt so sickly sweet
|
As the fragrance of her breath
|
When her lips met death with such imagination
|
|
Bear me to the moon
|
The dour toll of bells
|
Scare me with their boon
|
Of winters bitter graveyards
|
|
Swallowing her fear
|
I veered beneath her coat
|
Of soft white meat on
|
Soft white throat
|
|
Crepuscular, the lust in her
|
Went supernova
|
Setting maps aflame
|
Before her veins ran colder
|
And muscular, the final thrust
|
In her spilled over
|
Covering her back
|
I saw an angel lift her
|
Coma
|
|
I fell to eyes
|
Of a bestial past that once
|
Teaching grief through jaded pupils
|
Now shone like celestial glass in hell
|
In hell
|
|
And doused in the glow from her parting gift
|
Never there lay, with curves like snowdrifts
|
A beauty so frozen in bliss
|
Slumped to warm the dead to a standing ovation
|
|
Spare me from the wolves
|
Clawing past my door
|
Tear me from the ghouls
|
That start to gnaw my fingers
|
|
Following her heart
|
And every beat that spoke
|
I kissed her risen, naked
|
Soft white throat
|
|
Soft white throat
|
|
Crepuscular, the lust in her
|
Went supernova
|
Setting maps aflame
|
Before her veins ran colder
|
And muscular, the final thrust
|
In her spilled over
|
Smothering her cracks
|
I was the devil on her shoulder
|
|
Dear Lord I cry, before I die
|
Grant me the taste of love
|
One final time lest I should hide
|
When seraph call me from above
|
|
And should remorse not stay my course
|
From debt, addresses wept
|
Will ask no more of you my Lord
|
Save that my soul in hell is kept
|
