Beyond Eleventh Hour Lyrics - Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa - Cradle Of Filth

All mirrors lead to my palace 

My exotic pleasure temple 

Wherein my court is both 

Gracious and insatiable, pure and obscene 

For where pumps the true heart of life 

There too seeps corruption 

And from this my new Eden of nightshades 

Black hen-bane, sphinxes 

Opium and roses weaned on tears and blood 

Will rise up like lust 

And the shadow of my dark consort 

Shalt extend himself 

Across the face of the world 

And hell will come with him

Part of the garden, her dark Eden 

Fed blood by poisoned fronds 

My heart hardened in her wet season 

Treading mud in her slough of despond 

But only now 

A path lies straight before me 

The maze is ploughed half through with hate 

Andpher crop is dripping red 

Beyond eleventh hour 

Her beauty and brute power 

Grows stronger by the day 

And with each rose that she deflowers 

The longer her throes of madness stay 

In her grip on shredded sheets 

Once our fingertips had dug and clutched 

She whispered dreadful things to me 

Photos 

She wanted war with God 

The underdog baring sharpened teeth 

With her armies raised from suffering 

To ascend on jet black wings 

She'd break off holy limbs 

On the racks of her witch hunt 

And crush the church beneath her heel 

The Pope in homage to her cunt 

A dark horse forcing nightmares 

To wring submissive dry 

A vampire madam batter-fang 

With vicious streaks, a mile wide 

Beyond eleventh hour 

Her kiss has turned dismissive 

Her glance holds slight contempt 

Instead those eyes burn on the prize 

Of fates she really likes to tempt 

In her grip on shredded sheets 

Gasping from conquered peaks of passion 

She whispered dreadful things to me 

She wanted war with God 

The underdog baring sharpened teeth 

With her armies raised from suffering 

To ascend on jet black wings 

She'd tear down mighty spires 

Then rear them up anew 

Orders forged to her desires 

The eleventh hour nearly through 

Lilith, the abyss, the slithering mists 

That cause all souls to stray 

How to resist those seductive gifts 

On the shore of her unholy ways? 

She calls my name so softly 

From deep banks of scented fog 

I almost lose myself before it starts 

But my spirit keeps its silence 

As I drift across the lake 

A glimpse of harem secrets 

Now her velvet curtain parts 

She is glaring like the moon 

The wind dies down, eavesdropping 

As I bow before her throne 

And she descends to greet me 

Like the royal bitch to which she's grown 

Come closer, what have you to say? 

Black cat got your tongue?" 

I am not your slave 

Nor are you my savior 

But Isaac, I'm the only one 

I hold those cold deceiving eyes 

Her once hypnotic gaze 

And pledge eternal love then walk away 

Thunder seethes behind me 

Death adjusts her favorite mask 

Another lover smothered 

By her sanguinary darkness 

Clasped in the garden, here you heard 

This story blustered through 

I asked her pardon, swore my word 

I'd score her sweetmeats just like you 

For only now 

The truth lies prone before me 

I couldn't leave her even if she stormed 

The heavens as were promised 

Beyond eleventh hour 

Lilith, the abyss, the slithering mists 

Will come for you this eve 

Lustrous the cusp of her lingering tryst 

Before those fatal kisses bleed 

Beyond eleventh hour 

She will make of you a plaything 

Scant amusement for her bed 

And when naked flesh forgets to sing 

She'll take your fucking soul instead 

Midnight strikes, the candles sputter 

Muttering their reeking spells 

I snuff their tongues, my heart a-flutter 

These words, I speak are gates to hell
