Cradle Of Filth Lyrics

"Bathory Aria: A Murder Of Ravens In Fugue" lyrics


Now haranguing grey skies
With revenge upon life
Gnathic and Sapphic
Needs begged gendercide

Delusions of Grandier denounced the revolt
Of descrying cursed glass, disenchanted in vaults
Encircled by glyphs midst her sin-sistered cult

With hangman's abandon she plied spiritworlds
To Archangels in bondage
From light to night hurled
Cast down to the earth where torment would unfurl

But soon
Her tarot proved
Hybrid rumours spread like tumours
Would accrue
And blight her stars
However scarred
To better bitter truths
Of cold bloodbaths

As bodies rose
In rigid droves
To haunt her from their
Shallow burials imposed
When wolves exhumed
Their carthen wombs
Where heavy frosts had laboured long
To bare their wounds

To the depths of her soul they pursued
Wielding their poison they flew
Like a murder of ravens in fugue

And knowing their raptures
Would shatter her dreams
She clawed blackened books for damnation's reprieve
Baneful cawed canons on amassed enemies

So Hallow's Eve
As she received
Like Bellona to the ball
Those enemies
Fell-sisters heaved
Her torturies
Cross stained flagstones
To her carriage reined to flee

But she knew she must brave the night through
Though fear crept a deathshead o'er the moon
Like a murder of ravens in Fugue

For each masked, jewelled gaze held dread purpose
Horror froze painted eyes to cold stares
And even her dance
In the vast mirrors cast
Looked the ill of her future
If fate feasted there
