Cradle Of Filth Lyrics
 | | Black Metal history's earliest, most monumental moments were fraught with exaggerated claims and overt acts of evil that found bands' unceasing attempts to top each other with examples of hatred and misanthropy. While the claims were (for the most part) merely pretense, many bands turned the spectacle into a more overt form of theater. The most realized band in that realm is Cradle of Filth. A cunning sense of dark drama and spectacle looms over their music like gargoyles that keep watch over a castle; but just as imaginary as the gargoyle, Cradle of Filth's claims toward evil are poetic, not actual, though as many Christianity advocates have vehemently claimed of this ungodly band, there is perhaps no division between the two. But to dwell on Cradle of Filth's pomp is merely an overture to the reality of their sound -- patently evil. Not the sort of evil you learned in Sunday school, but the evil that is eked out of dusty books and reveals some form of ancient, forbidden knowledge. Their albums are elaborate, rococo orchestrations that are closer in construction to a Wagnerian opera than a rock song. Symphonies of guitars, heavy organ chords and female vocals play off of wickedly complex percussion. The most unmistakable element of Filth's sound is Dani Filth's vocal acrobatics. He screams piercing notes that find harmony with your night sweat's shivers, then drops to a dark, purgatorial growl. His lyrics dwell on typically gothic subjects: death, eternity, sex, blood and suffering. Their album Cruelty and the Beast is entirely based on the legend of the Countess Elizabeth Bathory -- cliche perhaps, but Cradle of Filth always create with an intelligence and self-awareness that reveals a great art. |

Cradle of Filth Song Lyric:
A Gothic Romance
Death, spirit me away
My anguished soul doth strain
On taut and twisted reins
Yet, insatiate I still remain
Like a proud, unfalled star
That dares thee from afar
To calm my thund’rous heart
Else, rend it’s knots apart
So I may never sing
Of jewelled skies o’er my strings
And love, a wanton thing
Can plunge on burnt, black wings
To hang amid the thorns
In scarlet, like velvet worn
About the clouded moon
Who wanes in solitude....
I am alone
Thirsting for the dark
That lurks beneath marbled stone
What black witchcraft
Shalt prise thee from thy dreams
And what perverse world-strategy
Will wend it’s way with thee from sleep?
’rouse my disease
And with cadent naked dance I shalt teach
Thee wisdom of darkness
From earth and red sea
Lightbearing samael
Coalesce with me....’
Twilight
Through pagan city gates
Bred shadows play like twining snake
By candlelight
Thanateros rites
Death seduced and chaos wakes....
Obsession grips, blindragon fever
In throes of scythed orgasm, eros dies
And saturn rapes faith’s lovelorn diva
Upon a cyprean altar, stripped bare for sacrifice
Virtue births a demon
Pandora’s box, unhinged, sets loose the night
Winged lilith born for want of eden
Fanning plumes of harlotry
Like pearls before the desert swine
The skies, they darken
And the oceans part
Storm forth indignant kraken
Reborn venus as thou art
Feasting at my banquet
Of saturnalia
I call thee having wrestled
The tides from lonely diana
’for thee endymion
I forsake the cerements of this star-flung tomb’
Be-with-us come
Unveil the ancient flame
Throw the cats our enemies
Desire’s menstrual strain
Eastern devil eyes
A cruel erotic plague
The shekhina is in exile
And the israelites enslaved to shame
Midnight
Jerusalem
A tenebrous phantasy
Revelates to men
Their celestial walls crumble
When walks the xul
Born to the scarlet whore in babylon
The centuries of wait have all but gone
Behold dark beauty stirs to conquer on and on
Now worship everything
Get This Ringtone
