Cradle of Filth
Trouble and Their Double Lives
1. She Is a Fire
She will wring from you
All the secrets you keep locked
Away in sadness
And she will play
Where dark pathways of the mind
Stumble blindly into madness
Her eyes are filled with the weight of mountains
Desire spurting from her sacred fountains
Red hot is her inclination
I beg incineration
She came walking from the flame
Burning with dark inspiration
She is a fire
She is a fire
As far as Venus goes
She twists the bind
Between the marble and the sculptor
Slight of waist, sleight of mind
Fates refined
Spells to shelter her from vultures
A furnace heat of needs surmounting
She melts my beaten heartbeat down and counting
Red hot is her inclination
I beg incineration
She came dancing from the flame
Burning with dark inspiration
She is a fire
Weaponized (Galvanized)
Even in mortal guise
Death would tremble just to take her
Like a calm sea beneath which the Kraken
Unfurls its deafening limbs
She, she's a smouldering psalm
Poised to make good on ignitable sins
Poised to make good on her delightful sins
Red hot is her inclination
I beg incineration
She came walking from the flame
Burning with dark inspiration
She is a fire
Red hot is her inclination
I beg incineration
She came dancing from the flame
Burning with dark inspiration
She is a fire
2. Demon Prince Regent
Light the torch, cite debauch
Excite the tortured heart
The forest whispers
Graves undulate and part
Let's get this ritual started
Under dark aligning stars
Devouring fruits of fallen man
Grown delicious in their degradation
Blackened towers root a poisoned land
Consumption reeking
Corruption seeking deep gestation
Demon Prince
I see the pride that swallows
Even since
The tide disaster follows
Turned to the calling of your fall from Heaven
Endeavours burnt
Cast down to earth
You never learnt
Lasting grace in any worth
Still yielding not in this vocation
Wake the night, its delight
Forsakes the rites of dawn
The fire beckons
An inferno poised to swarm
This might be the pit God shits in
But it hides a biding storm
Best to reign in Hell than serve a slave
To lofty indecisions taken
On one's behalf hunger nerve the brave
To seek exemption
To see freewill awaken
Demon Prince
I see the pride that swallows
Even since
The tide disaster follows
Turned to the calling of your fall from Heaven
Endeavours burnt
Cast down to earth
You never learnt
Lasting grace in any worth
Still yielding not in this vocation
Undivine, why climb to the skies
To repent fell maledictions?
Hypocrites who duly sit on high
Extend your extradition
Extend your opposition
With rancour sunken, anchored
Beneath the clouds that roll in anger
The bitter truth is Hell
Is truly not
The Hell they think they know
Demon Prince
I see the pride that swallows
Even since
The tide disaster follows
Turned to the calling of your fall from Heaven
Endeavours burnt
Cast down to earth
You never learnt
Lasting grace in any worth
Still fielding dreams to scattered nations
