Cradle of Filth

Cradle of Filth are an English extreme metal band that formed in Suffolk in 1991. The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles. Their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. more »

Sunset, expect 
This to be your last with Our vast return 
As Death is set 
At three sixes where hill-beacons burn 

Darkness, undress 
Your descending skirts yield a thirsting altar 
Blood-red, yet still unfed 
Lips distend ending, time to falter 

Welcome arms wide and crucified
The slaughter 

Lightening freezes seven 
Outtakes from the rape of the world 
Sins expelled from Heaven 
Now befoul from the bowels of Hell 

Where the tragic in theory and practice fell 

Last prayers, hang in the air 
Each unto their own rag and bone meal saviors 
Strung where crippled vultures dare 
Golgotha 
Coughs another cross to grave God's failure 

Once the forests spired 
Nurtured in Nature'heart 
Now dreat cedars feed the pyres 
Need-fires lit for greater harm 
As Her children toy with razors 

Sightless and deeply scarred 
And the moon arose to phase Her 
Cracks a grin so wide it hides the stars 

And lights Our path 
Back through the shattered glass 

(We come like drumming thunder 
Tides enwreathed in scum and plunder 
Kraken-teethed to tear asunder 
All those too blind to see)

Where the tragic in theory and practice meet 

Deranged, uncaged 
We rage like a plague through this age of greed 
Sowers of discord, growing wars to reap 
A terrible crop to beat a vicious retreat 

Scorched Earth, rebirth 
Disinterred in the writhe of the lone survivor 
Whose worth is worse than the curse 
Of Sardonicus choking on his own saliva 

Who shares the last laugh now 
Dead wedded fates fulfill their vows? 
Foot in mouth of sacred cows 
Face down in dust and poisoned ground
