CRADLE OF FILTH - Funeral In Carpathia lyrics

rate me

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake<br>And the mists steal in with ease<br>Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes<br>In adoration of the moon and thee<br><br>'they call as I to thee....'<br><br>And I will come, as if in dream<br>My languid, dark and lustrous malaresian queen<br>Of vengeful, ancient breed<br>Gilded with the pelts of many enemies<br>Erishkigal, raven-haired<br>Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair<br>I can taste thy scent by candlelight<br>Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair<br>Appease the beast on spattered sheets<br>Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps<br><br>Nocternity....<br>She shall come for me<br><br>A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life<br>Like a poignant madonna perverted to night<br>And I have ridden from the westerning light<br>To expend my lust<br>Tear away the funereal dress<br>Know that I will escape from my death<br>Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress<br><br>Lo! the pale moonlight<br>Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline<br>Of mist and moth and the hunger inside<br>Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise<br><br>'through twilight, darkness and moonrise<br>My scarlet tears will run<br>As stolen blood and whispered love<br>Of fantasies undone'<br><br>Countess swathed in ebony<br>And snow-white balletic grace<br>Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish<br>For lust and her disgrace<br><br>Dusk and her embrace<br><br>We shall flit through the shadows<br>Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow<br>Under deadly nightshade<br>Still warmed with the kill's afterglow<br><br>Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me<br>(beneath the stars taste the death in me)<br>Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss<br>To sever thin mortality<br><br>Elizabeth<br>My heart is thine<br>Thy fragrant words<br>Warm within like wine....<br><br>'let me come to thee'<br>With eyes like asphodel<br>Moon-glancing, loose desires free<br>To writhe under my spell'<br><br>Ereshkigal, raven-haired<br>Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair<br>I know thy scent by candlelight<br>Immortal flesh I yearn to share<br>Appease the beast on spattered sheets<br>Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps<br>Nocternity<br>She shall come for me....<br><br>Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus<br>How the full embosomed fog<br>Imparts the night to us....
