Dusk And Her Embrace Lyrics by Cradle Of Filth

Dusk And Her Embrace Lyrics

    When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake
    And the mists steal in with ease
    Covened wolves arc their eerie dissonant napes
    In adoration of the moon and thee

    "They call as I to thee..."

    And I will come, as if in dream
    My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen
    Of vengeful, ancient breed
    Gilded with the pelts of many enemies
    Erishkigal, raven-haired
    Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
    I can taste thy scent by candlelight
    Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair
    Appease the beast on spattered sheets
    Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps

    Nocternity...
    She shall come for me

    A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life
    Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night
    And I have ridden from the westerning light
    To expend my lust
    Tear away the funeral dress
    Know that I will escape from my death
    Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress

    Lo! The pale moonlight
    Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline
    Of mist and moth and the hunger inside
    Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise

    "Through twilight, darkness and moonrise
    My scarlet tears will run
    As stolen blood and whispered love
    Of fantasies undone"

    Countess swathed in ebony
    And snow-white balletic grace
    Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish
    For lust and her disgrace

    Dusk and her embrace

    We shall flit through the shadows
    Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow
    Under deadly nightshade
    Still warmed with the kill's afterglow

    Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me
    Beneath the stars taste the death in me
    Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss
    To sever thin mortality

    Elizabeth
    My heart is thine
    Thy fragant words
    Warm within like wine...

    "Let me come to thee
    With eyes like Asphodel
    Moon-glancing, loose desires free
    To writhe under my spell"

    Ereshkigal, raven-haired
    Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
    I know they scent by candlelight
    I'mmortal flesh I yearn to share
    Appease the beast on spattered sheets
    Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
    Nocturnity
    She shall come for me...

    Unfurl thy limbs breathless sucubus
    How the full embosomed fog
    I'mparts the night to us...
