Carrion Lyrics - Damnation And A Day - Cradle Of Filth

Lurking in the shade 

Of dark and fragrant trees 

Shirking from the rage 

That tore the heavens free 

A vagrant angel 

His with span to see 

The garden swell with terrors 

To banish man and Eve 

Another fall from grace 

Whiplashed from the gates 

Half naked and insane 

Full blooded, breasted 

Nerve ends tested 

To behests of pain

A sombre lot to gain 

As the storm slid in 

Borne by carnal winds 

The upper ether thinned 

And therein sat abominations 

Satan seated there 

To savoring the reek of desolation 

But their dank despair 

Moved his speech to leech the air 

"Behold the golden door 

Paradise is lost 

So praise me as you raised your Lord 

And I shall thaw this gnawing frost" 

Another fall from grace 

Whiplashed from the gates 

Half naked and insane 

And destined for a spiteful fate 

Photos 

Wherein evil sought the shamed 

As pawns in greater stakes 

Across this cosmic game 

To win the hand of darkness and 

Set her in her rightful place 

Cursed is the ground for thy sake 

In sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life 

Thorns also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee 

And thou shalt eat the herb of the field 

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread 

Till thou return unto the ground 

For out of it was thou taken 

For dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou now return 

With that the pact was sealed 

And as creation reeled 

Bewitched oration filled 

The hearts of all 

Who came to crawl 

Upon these earthen fields 

A sombre lot to till 

A wracked black acid song 

Spat from the massive throng 

Of Seraph knelt along 

The deep red welt to domination 

The deep red welt to domination 

(Domination, domination, domination) 

The deep red welt to domination 

(Domination) 

The deep red welt to domination
