Cradle Of Filth lyrics : "The Abhorrent"

I sing desolation
On the breath of centuries
Bringing annihilation

Slaughter courses through my enemies

I was not always so cold

Once upon a crime in times of favour
I had lived a God amongst the bold
Like a true poetic saviour


But my people were dissolved
By the flames of righteous strangers

My name blackened ten thousandfold
Death grew to know me...


As the abhorrent

Stricken from the light

As dividing curses poured
I was hiding in the thickening mire
Biding for my war


I'm climbing up the years to get you
From a dark abyssic scheme

Lovecraftian, part-Martian
To be the beast I used to be


My laureates of gold are sold
Horns spear the reddened sea
And by my transformed hand

Be sure
The Heavens hear your final screams


Tonight this world is burning
To a fulsome serenade
Arch nemesis, I'm the genesis

Of a raging plague about to break

Blue eyes rolled headlong to black

When the darkness drew me to her caresses

I was not always so co cold

Once upon a crime in times of old

I had lived a God amongst the folds

Of creeping epic failure

But my people were dissolved

By the flames of righteous strangers
My name blackened and deeds annulled
They grew to know me...


As the abhorrent


I'm a cemetery and a garden
Ripe with near-putrefied life
A phallus beginning to harden

On the philosophy of a prurient knife

I hear the dead begin to cry

Hostis Humanis Generis
My favorite leaden lullaby


On sacred eves I've asked for sacrifice
Mere moments of atonement
For your despise

A stern believer
That the great deceiver
Is your precious God

Whose preachers saw me demonised

Now, the sun it sets

On your nascent best of days

Time to rise

Gorgon, Calibos and Cane
Titans unrepentant
Lord Lucifer insane

If I am the Devil

I shall honour my spiteful name

Tonight this world is burning
To a fulsome serenade
Arch nemesis, the rest of this

Destructive wickedness is on its way
