CRADLE OF FILTH

CRADLE OF FILTH - Mistress From the Sucking Pit lyrics

rate me

Oh dear God

It is midnight in the labyrinth

The night is set to taint the painted halls

Moonlight is our cue

The candelabra flicker at your passing gall

I swear they're dancing just for you

The dead leaves rustle on the manor lawns

As a light breeze whispers through

The call of wolves. the owls lament

Our screams shall soon soar skyward too

Mistress from the sucking pit

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet

The stars are passing observations

Her voice is music, her legs go on

Shes got full orchestration

And been known to use it

But trepidation is a far slicker song

Amongst dull suitors

She is bright and razor sharp

A tree of woe uprooter

A viper still at heart

Shes alkaline and far acidic

As sweet as clementines

This mistress from the sucking pit

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet

The stars are passing observations

Her voice is music, her legs go on

Shes got full orchestration

And been known to use it

But trepidation is a far slicker song

Mistress from the sucking pit

Embossed by her postulant gaze

Like Medusa on a plinth

I am lost in her embrace

Oh dear God

It is midnight in the labyrinth

A peacock fan of sinful eyes

Swim wide across the room

This night, espied, your thin disguise

Does wonders for the sundered gloom

For all lit up the shades retreat

To dark Italian pews

And corners where great vases stand

Abrim with thoughts of naked dais with you

Mistress from the sucking pit

All the world crawls lovesick at her feet

The stars are passing observations

Her needs are dire, her rites are wrong

She burns with exultation

Like a fiery vampire

For desperation is a far slicker song

Amongst dull suitors

She's bright and razor sharp

A tree of woe uprooter

A viper still at heart

She's alkaline and far acidic

Fluidic, serpentine

This mistress from the sucking pit

The waiters pass in gilded frames

With glasses sparkling too

The ball tonight rows magical

Like the finest Venice threw

And at it's heart a mythic queen

Her skin of purest hue

Whose beauty is unquestionable

But whose duties are askew

For beneath the airs and divine graces

A slim tornado whirls

On the precipice of her poisonous kiss

The devil dwells deep inside this girl

Embossed by her postulant gaze

Like Medusa on a plinth

I am lost in her embrace

Oh dear God

It is midnight in the labyrinth

Mistress from the sucking pit

The wine has sat and breathed it's last

In blood red ruby where

I find you by the roaring hearth

A blaze of golden hair

Cascading down an angel's face

To pool about the breasts

That man minds have wondered on

but only I caress

And then I'm yours. the velvet crown

Of Venus in my hands

Fists rip hard the eiderdown

Desire firebrands

Every mountain, every route

My wanton tongue must take

To taste that once forbidden fruit

Before your bloodlust starts to...
