Cradle Of Filth - Carrion Lyrics

Send "Carrion" ringtone to your cell

Lurking in the shade

Of dark and fragrant trees

Shirking from the rage

That tore the heavens free

A vagrant angel

His with span to see

The garden swell with terrors

To banish man and eve

Another fall from grace

Whiplashed from the gates

Half-naked and insane

Full-blooded breasted

Nerve ends tested

To behests of pain

A sombre lot to gain

A storm slid in

Borne by carnal winds

The upper ether thinned

And therein sat abominations

Satan seated there

Savouring the reek of desolation

Their dank despair

Moved his speech to leech the air

"behold the golden door

To paradise is lost

So praise me as you raised your lord

And I shall thaw this gnawing frost"

Another fall from grace

Whiplashed from the gates

Half-naked and insane

And destined for a spiteful fate

Wherein evil sought the shamed

As pawns in greater stakes

Across this cosmic game

To win the hand

Of darkness and

Set her in her rightful place

"cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return."

[genesis 3:17-19]

At the throat of the human race

With claws engorged and poised to rake

With that the pact was sealed

And as creation reeled

Bewitched oration filled

The hearts of all

Who came to crawl

Upon these earthen fields

A sombre lot to till

A wracked black acid song

Spat from the massive throng

Of seraph knelt along

The deep red welt to domination

The deep red welt to domination
