Dusk And Her Embrace Lyrics - The Princess Of Darkness - Cradle Of Filth

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake 

And the mists steal in with ease 

Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes 

In adoration of the moon and thee 

"They call as I to thee" 

And I will come, as if in dream 

My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen 

Of vengeful, ancient breed 

Gilded with the pelts of many enemies 

Erishkigal, raven-haired 

Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair 

I can taste thy scent by candlelight 

Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair 

Appease the beast on spattered sheets 

Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps

Nocternity 

She shall come for me 

A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life 

Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night 

And I have ridden from the westerning light 

To expend my lust 

Tear away the funereal dress 

Know that I will escape from my death 

Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress 

Lo! The pale moonlight 

Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline 

Of mist and moth and the hunger inside 

Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise 

"Through twilight, darkness and moonrise 

My scarlet tears will run 

As stolen blood and whispered love 

Of fantasies undone"

Countess swathed in ebony 

And snow-white balletic grace 

Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish 

For lust and her disgrace 

Dusk and her embrace 

We shall flirt through the shadows 

Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow 

Under deadly nightshade 

Still warmed with the kill's afterglow 

Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me 

(Beneath the stars taste the death in me) 

Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss 

To sever thin mortality 

Elizabeth 

My heart is thine 

Thy fragrant words Warm within like wine 

"Let me come to thee 

With eyes like Asphodel 

Moon-glancing, loose desires free 

To writhe under my spell" 

Ereshkigal, raven-haired 

Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair 

I know thy scent by candlelight 

Immortal flesh I yearn to share 

Appease the beast on spattered sheets 

Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps 

Nocternity 

She shall come for me 

Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus 

How the full embosomed fog 

Imparts the night to us
