CRADLE OF FILTH

CRADLE OF FILTH - Nymphetamine (Overdose) lyrics

rate me

Evanescent like the scent of decay

I was fading from the race

When in despair, my darkest days

Ran amok and forged her face

From the fairest of handmaidens to

A slick perverted wraith

Nymphetamine

Heaving midst narcissus

On a maledict blanket of stars

She was all three wishes

Sex, sex, sex

A lover hung on her death row

I was hooked on her disease

Highly strung like Cupid's bow

Whose arrows hungered meat

And the blinding flare of passion

In the shade of narrow streets

Where their poison never rationed

All the tips they left in me

Two tracks

Bric-a-brac

Something passed between us

Like a bad crack

Upward-lit

I'd met another kind

Of rat

In fact

With every Rome inside me

Licked and ransacked

She haunted at the corners of my mind

In black

Cataracts

Wouldn't whitewash away

Her filthy smoke stack

She burnt me like a furnace

For my future suicide

Laid to the river

Midsummer, I waved

A ‘V'' of black swans

On with hope to the grave

And through Red September

The skies fire-paved

I begged you appear

Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul

Untold was the pain

I faced when you left me

A rose in the rain...

So I swore to the razor

That never, enchained

Would your dark nails of faith

Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb

I am a prayer for your loneliness

And would you ever soon

Come above unto me?

For once upon a time

From the binds of your lowliness

I could always find

The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision

In my heart, that barless prison

Discolours all with tunnel vision

Sunsetter

Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condition

This lust, this vampyric addiction

To her alone in full submission

None better

Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine

Nymphetamine girl

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine

My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm

I am circled like prey

Back in the forest

Where whispers persuade

More sugar trails

More white lady laid

Than pillars of salt...

(keeping Sodom at night at bay)

fold to my arms

Hold their mesmeric sway

And dance out to the moon

As we did in those golden days

Christening stars

I remember the way

We were needle and spoon

Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb

I'm a prayer for your loneliness

And would you ever soon

Come above unto me?

For once upon a time

From the binds of your holiness

I could always find

The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision

In my heart, that barless prison

Discolours all with tunnel vision

Sunsetter

Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condition

This lust, this vampyric addiction

To her alone in full submission

None better

Nymphetamine

Sunsetter

Nymphetamine (Nymphetamine)

None better

Nymphetamine

Two tracks

Bric-a-brac

Something passed between us

Like a bad crack

Upward-lit

I'd met another kind

Of rat

In fact

With every Rome inside me

Licked and ransacked

She haunted at the corners of my mind

In black

Cataracts

Wouldn't whitewash away

Her filthy smoke stack

She burnt me like a furnace

For my future suicide
