Cradle Of Filth lyrics : "Suicide And Other Comforts"

I pace, alone
In a place for the dead
Overcome by woe

And here, I've grown
So fond of dread
That I swear it's heaven


Oh sweet May,
Dressed in grief

Roll back the stone

With these words scrawled in a severed hand

Tears fall like shards of glass that band
In rivers, like sinners
Swept with me to join the damned


A darkened sky
The day that laughter died

Fell swiftly into night
And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife

Oh God, how easy now the sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me


So farewell to distant thunder
Those inept stars I've worshipped under
Fall father, their Father

Lies in wait in flames below
Whilst my love, a blood red flower
Calls to me from verdant bowers

Graveside, I cry
Please save me from this Hell I know


A darkened sky
The day that laughter died
Fell swiftly into night

And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice

My life, to have Her with me

An eye for an eye as espied in the bible

My faith is lost to the burning of idols
One less cross to press upon the survival
Of this lorded agony


And I, (much as I have tried
To bury Her from mind,

Fate's tourniquet was tied, when She died...)
Still sense Her presence so divine
Lithe arms about my throat

Like pining swans entwined
Footfalls at nightfall close to mine


Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release

I snatch Her whisper like the wind through cedars

See Her face in every natural feature
Midst the mist and sleepy hollows of fever...
With glee deceiving me


Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release


I hear Her voice from where the grave defies Her
Sirensong to sing along, no finer
Suicide notes, harmonised in a minor

Strike a chord with misery

No light nor reef

No unsinkable of romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Now drowning, resounding

Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter frieze


A darken sky
This day hereafter dies
Falls swiftly into night
Abd stays within my sight

Staring at the knife
Oh God, how ease it was to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me

No more a victim of a crusade

Where souls are strung from a moral palisade
I slit my wrists and quickly slip away...
I journey now on jewelled sands
Beneath a moon to Summerlands
To grace Her lips with contraband

The blaze once in my veins
