A Gothic Romance [explicit] Lyrics - Cradle Of Filth

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 

Photos 

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 strength to seal this wretched tomb 

But poised nectar within my stirs 

Up feverous desire and morbid purpose to search 

Through cobwebbed drapery to where she swoons 

Goddess of the graveyard, of the tempest and moon 

In flawless fatal beauty her very visage compels 

Glimpses of a heaven where ghost companies fell 

To mourning the loss of god in blackest velvet 

Enrobed in their downfall like a swift silhouette 

"Fleeting, enshadowed 

Thou art privy to my sin 

Secrets dead, wouldst thou inflict 

The cruel daylights upon my skin? 

Dost thou not want to worship me 

With crimson sacrifice 

So my cunt may twitch against thy kiss 

And weep with new-found life?" 

Red roses for the Devil's whore 

Dark angels taste my tears 

And whisper haunting requiems 

Softly to mine ear 

Need-fires have lured abominations here 

Nocturnal pulse 

My veins spill forth their waters 

Rent by lips I cherish most 

Awash on her perfidious shores 

Where drowning umbra o'er the stars 

Ebon's graves where lovers whore 

Like seraphim and Nahemah 

"Nahemah" 

Pluck out mine eyes, hasten, attest 

Blind reason against thee, Enchantress 

For I must know, art thou not death? 

My heart echoes bloodless and incensed 

Doth temptation prowl night in vulvic revelry 

Did not the Queen of Heaven come as Devil to me? 

On that fatal Hallow's Eve when we fled company 

As the music swept around us in the crisp, fated leaves 

UNder horned Diana where her bloodline was sewn 

In a graveyard of Angels rent in cool marbled stone 

I am grieving the loss of life in sombre velvet 

Enrobed in Death's shadow like a swifter 

Silhouette
