CRADLE OF FILTH - Manticore lyrics
rate meWrite a story, any storyBut let it have dragons... O Gods of war in the jungle corridor.I feel your haughty presence feasting the ManticoreShe stalks the shadows, burningThe smoke is thick and reeks of blood.Her hunger an eternal yearning.Tantric, necromantic, a wank fantasy of faithShe religiously feeds a feverous all man-eater.In the trees I see her eyes like slithering she of snakes.Monstrous this chimera in her beautiful anger.Screaming from the pulpit damnation's oratory she is the whisperingPoisoned dart and the breath of armageddon all around. The embodiment ofEvil in a body full of raptures antropophagous.Manticora.Press the silent violin of frisson horror in my forced hand sphinx willSing her song and coloured in lullabies death endorsed invades our lands.Gigantic, pyromantic a beast of naked flame panting blackened masses fromHer opulent godhead ill-barbed are those tongues spread wings eclipse herFrame and in her deep crevasses Kundalini vents unfed.In darkness.Her fastness threshed with fleshing teethShe comes to masticate you whole. She is the bane of mothers, grandLeveller of Maa Kali's Mardi Gras.What man would damn the world to summon her?Be still. Pray silence lest she stoops to conquer.The perverse acid queen. Ten thousand pillars in her heart uphold a palaceOf frozen killers and the mirror in her soul polished black for scryingNightmares bubbles with a lust that years to burn again.Razor backed, she attacks empire's battle cat, creature of the whiteDevil's rule. Mythical and mystical provinces will recall the swarm ofRefugees from her pall. Mimicking victims with a voice of the choicestDeathpanned in pain. Awful claws hold rapport with the skins of mankind.She is the whispering poisoned dart and the breath of armageddon allAround, the enbodiment of evil in a valley full of raptors.A lick of fire on her lips as silent as a will o wisp she comes amongst youAll, tigressive. Blazing in her pride hellraising horrors from theDark-side... Manticore!
