<< Funeral In Carpathia >>
|
--- Cradle Of Filth
|
|
Candelabra snuffed prey - silhouette wedded
|
Nightfall take my hand
|
Seduce me with silky timbred limbs
|
Grant me thy dark command
|
Over the peaks framing tapestries
|
Of thick forest, dusk has filled
|
With Lucifugous kisses enwreathed in mist
|
Creeping like violations from the shadows
|
to kill
|
|
Lucretia
|
is my love in vein
|
When thy tears bleed sweeter
|
Thank the midsummer rain?
|
Bewinged, infested belfries
|
Toll o'er the sobbing throng
|
A writhe of lethargic, terrored nudes
|
Whipped and welted neath the barbed windsong....
|
|
(in saddean paradise
|
Ancestral legacies linger on....)
|
|
I am He
|
The crowned and conquering darkness
|
Satan robed in ecumenical filth
|
Livid Bacchus sustained by bridal echelons of sylph
|
|
This wintry eve when the snow glistens deep
|
And sharpened turrets wed the jewelless skies
|
I shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep
|
Enbroided by these words Malaresia scribed....
|
|
"Beauty slept and angels wept
|
For Her immortal soul
|
In this response, all evil chose
|
To claim her for their very own"
|
|
Carpathia
|
The pleasured dead speak of her
|
In necromantic tongue
|
When ambered daylights are done
|
|
Masterbating in their graves
|
On her zenith to come....
|
|
This catafalque night when awed stars report
|
Their absence from the heavenly brow
|
Crippled seraph shalt cower in illustrious courts
|
Whilsts the cloaked maelstrom resounds throughout
|
|
"How the storm it fulfills
|
My heart though unhealed
|
Celestial knifes ebonied
|
And wild woods thrill
|
Yet far fiercer still
|
Her lustre eviscerates me"
|
|
Carpathia
|
Priapic lovers twist in concert with Her
|
Covenants are struck, jagged lightning fellates
|
The path towards the castle weary innocence takes
|
|
I rule as Master here
|
Where feral hordes impart my temper
|
Love sank wounded when I, betrayed
|
saw death etch cruelly, upon my lineage
|
|
"Usher the spite seething Draconist
|
And commit this world to thy ancient
|
sovereignty"
|
|
Erunescent veil descend
|
Psalmed sunset thus portends
|
And laid to rest, I now am blessed
|
With this darkness.... Forever more
|

Supreme Vampiric Evil

|
A Gothic Romance (Red Roses For The Devil's Whore)
|
|
Evening minuetto in a castle by the sea
|
A jewel more radiant than the moon
|
Lowered Her mask to me
|
The sublimest creature the Gods, full of fire
|
Would marvel at making their Queen
|
Infusing the air with Her fragrant desire
|
And my heart reeled with grave poetry....
|
|
From grace I fell in love with Her
|
Scent and feline lure
|
And jade woodland eyes that ushered in the impurest
|
"Erotic, laden fantasies amid this warm Autumn night
|
She lulled me away from the rich masquerade
|
And together we clung in the bloodletting moonlight"
|
Pearled luna, what spell didst thou cast on me?
|
Her icy kiss fervoured my neck
|
Like whispering waves 'pon Acheron's beach
|
In a whirl of sweet voices and statues
|
That phantomed the dying trees
|
This debauched seductress in black, took me....
|
|
In a pale azured dawn like Ligeia reborn
|
I tore free of my sleep - sepulchre
|
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn
|
Lamented the spectre of Her
|
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete
|
I hungered for past overtures
|
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress
|
Came much more than my soul could endure....
|
|
I, at once endeavoured to see Her again
|
Stirring from midnight's inertia
|
Knowing not even her name
|
On a thin precipice over carnal abyss
|
I danced like a blind acolyte
|
Drunk on red wine, her dead lips on mine
|
Suffused with the perfume of night
|
|
For hours I scoured the surrounding grounds
|
In vain that we might meet
|
When storm clouds broke, ashened, fatigued
|
I sought refuge in a cemeterty
|
|
Sleep, usher dreams
|
Taint to nightmares from a sunless nether
|
|
Mistress of the dark
|
I now know what thou art
|
|
Screams haunt my sleep
|
Dragged from nightmares thou hast wed together
|
|
Lamia and Lemures
|
Spawned thee leche
|
To snare my flesh
|
|
Portrait of the Dead Countess
|
|
Deep stained pain that I had dreamt
|
Flaunted demise, life's punishment
|
| Leaving little st |
