Cradle of Filth - Dusk And Her Embrace

#6 Track

Album: Dusk..... And Her Embrace
Year: 1996

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 a dream
My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen
Of vengeful, ancient breed
Gilded with the pelts of many enemies
Ereshkigal, 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 funereal 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 fragrant words
Warm within me 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 thy scent by candlelight
Immortal flesh I yearn to share
Appease the beast on spattered sheets
Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
Nocternity
She shall come for me....

Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus
How the full embosomed fog
Imparts the night to us....

@MsJames9elias Yeah, it is pretty cheesy, but these grandiose sounds and theatrics are what makes metal godly as it is. Listen to any Folk or Power metal band and you'd call them cheesy too, but that's just one word that would describe them. They're also complex, uplifting, powerful, epic.... Don't let the mere cheesiness of it blind you. It's what separates metal from the safer, more pedestrian musical genres; they would never have the balls or the vision to be so epic. Embrace it, my friend!

@MsJames9elias No, and to be honest I hate that word. I find this purely beautiful.

@MsJames9elias srry my english i know i made a couple of mistakes down there, im not a native english speaker, but i hv to say in defence of cof, that they are one of the reason i love english so much, i loved the feelin i get when i had no idea of what he was talking about everytime i listened to a new song, and that always forced me to learn more. peace

@MsJames9elias if it was could b cuz dani is a complete wack case, but his pen descrives so beatiful lines that i wouldnt call it cheesy at all, yeah his demonic stuff sometimes goes out of control with no apparent goal, if u ignore that ull find fine poetry and beatifull music, danis music got a classic concept of romanticism wich gives so much life to his lyrics and music wich should not be confused with the modern cheesy and corny concept of romanticism brought by hollywood twilight and shit

At 2:22 it sounds like the Meow Mix theme. This is a fucking awesome song though \m/

cradle was my first experience with black metal and i fell in love right aaway and have been obsessed ever since. i try so hard to like other black metal bands but for some reason they can't match cradle's passion and beauty.

There is no word to define this song. It's too much for us *_*

@Mortuaryism si lamentablemente su sonido evoluciono despues del disco de Midian y en lo personal se iso mas comercial su primer disco es un black metal mas puro
