Píseň: Funeral In Carpathia

Interpret:
Cradle of Filth
Album:
Dusk And Her Embrace
Candelabra snuffed prey - silhouette wedded 
Nightfall take my hand 
Seduce me with silky timbred limbs 
Grant me thy dark command 
Over the peaks framing tapestries 
Of thick forest, dusk has filled 
With Lucifugous kisses enwreathed in mist 
Creeping like violations from the shadows 
to kill 


Lucretia 
is my love in vein 
When thy tears bleed sweeter 
Thank the midsummer rain? 
Bewinged, infested belfries 
Toll o'er the sobbing throng 
A writhe of lethargic, terrored nudes 
Whipped and welted neath the barbed windsong.... 


(in saddean paradise 
Ancestral legacies linger on....) 


I am He 
The crowned and conquering darkness 
Satan robed in ecumenical filth 
Livid Bacchus sustained by bridal echelons of sylph 


This wintry eve when the snow glistens deep 
And sharpened turrets wed the jewelless skies 
I shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep 
Enbroided by these words Malaresia scribed.... 


"Beauty slept and angels wept 
For Her immortal soul 
In this repose, all evil chose 
To claim her for their very own" 


Carpathia 
The pleasured dead speak of her 
In necromantic tongue 
When ambered daylights are done 


Masterbating in their graves 
On her zenith to come.... 


This catafalque night when awed stars report 
Their absence from the heavenly brow 
Crippled seraph shalt cower in illustrious courts 
Whilsts the cloaked maelstrom resounds throughout 


"How the storm it fulfills 
My heart though unhealed 
Celestial knifes ebonied 
And wild woods thrill 
Yet far fiercer still 
Her lustre eviscerates me" 


Carpathia 
Priapic lovers twist in concert with Her 
Covenants are struck, jagged lightning fellates 
The path towards the castle weary innocence takes 


I rule as Master here 
Where feral hordes impart my temper 
Love sank wounded when I, betrayed 
saw death etch cruelly, upon my lineage 


"Usher the spite seething Draconist 
And commit this world to thy ancient 
sovereignty" 


Erunescent veil descend 
Psalmed sunset thus portends 
And laid to rest, I now am blessed 
With this darkness.... Forever more
