Cradle Of Filth - Of Mist & Midnight Skies Lyrics
We, the nocturnal fewBound by other lawsTo the service of the enemies of godAre silent and hiddenYet our exquisite fire burns onPoised to engulf...Tie a man to his godHe may not walk for fearOf falling foul to temptationWhere once faith stood her groundRenounce the guilt, ignite the flameCast the fetid virgin back from where she cameDrink deep of the promise in my eyes...Of mist and midnight skiesI drown in fathomless dreamsAnd in the reeking mire of virtue screamI yearn to sell my very soul(and you shallFor none so dark & sinisterWill arise to embrace the arts)Do what thou wiltUntil the stones in my heart stand stillRegardless of the cost to your repugnant godThe last may frost may blight the cropsAnd will never be ascribed to be heavenly dogOr nature, but infernal tasks...by your cursings and imprecationsYou wrong both man & beastBy whatever whim you serveOf the devil your leigeTie belief to the trinity, and seven waysWill be wrought to condemn theeConspiring to cull the pagan waysTwist back their lies, personify their needsThe war begins by satanic decreeIf evil we be, we will our lives...To mist and midnight skies(I will avenge the deaths of a thousand burning children)Be bound to a covenant with us in our hellish leagueAnd bring the host of the nazarene to their kneesBreath the life of an entity never-bornDarkness now descend in raven formThe words, the burning rasp, vibrate the cosmic threadArcturus is risen queen, hold forth the severed head to meI pour my lovelorn kisses at your feetRaper of all my worldly enemiesLycanthropy, please poison meSend acausal instincts crawling my brainTake me, mistress, until perversion is fedDark magick pleasures weaved under the jewelled moon-headThe cross-stick will fade when the usurper hangsFor now we congregate where once my angel sangThat night they came and took her away from meI lost the woman I loved and I learned how to curseAnd to spit in the face of their... godWe will ride againIn the midnight skies
