CRADLE OF FILTH - Truth and Agony lyrics

rate me

Mother's milk has soured

My life's a bolted door

And from it runs a trail of vagrant gore

My wounds are open flowers

Fragrant gifts for my encore

Bouquets of praise for bleeding, towered

On the sacrificial floor

I summoned and you came

To the peel of twisted bells

To the gelid whisper of my name

I blanched, erotic danger

Had me whirling like a star

To the dark advance of strangers

And then I heard you laugh

A throat of broken glass

Leather stitched to weeping skin

A coat of death and suppuration

Be my truth and agony

An architect for my total destruction

My erector, my dissector

My flesh will be wet for your best seduction

Be my truth and agony

inventive and deranged

Loves proof is in, its plain to see

The fluids we've exchanged

Part of these soul killers

The Gestapohood of scars

Carved an ornate invitation on my heart

The scent of French vanilla

With the stench of abattoirs

Past tense of present laythings

On those stained red lips ajar

I summoned and you came

From the churning guts of Hell

With your Christmas hiss of chains

Down the endless centuries

Your torture bed of lust

A shrine for us to redesign

And sign in blood and rust

Be my truth and agony

An architect for my total destruction

My erector, my dissector

My flesh caressed by your best corruption

Be my truth and agony

inventive and deranged

Loves roof is in, its meant to be

My cells are rearranged

I suffered and you came

To the splintering of bones

Winning pinnacles for my pain

Raped and racked and mutilated

I Raised from dregs again

Autopsy-turvy, back elated

In brazen arms that sacked my veins

Skinnatra, take me to the stars

Thrust me through to paradise

Endorphins breaking fast

Creature from the black abyss

Teacher. sadomasochist

Your tortured soul has led me

To this altered state of bliss
