Cradle of Filth- Absinthe With Faust

***~~~###DISCLAIMER: NOT MINE###~~~***

Pour the emerald wine
Into crystal glasses
We will touch the divine
Through kissed catharsis

Let us pitch to the seven-year itch
Of the ultra-decadent
To a tainted world and the painted girls
That our fantasies spent

Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes
Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams
A toast to those most sacrilegious of days
Where for every whim won
One soon repays

We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned

We have spent our time
Drenched in opulent splendour
But when midnight chimes
Will gilded souls surrender?

Let us drink on the giddying brink
Of pools of excrement
All manner of shit for the glamour and glitz
Mephistopheles lent

I remember the night as if it were engraved
A bright marble bridge stretched across dark waves
To the shore from the moon and by Her grace
Came that erudite stranger
That fucker

He was a predator, creditor cold
Our blood was young on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered was not gold
But we wanted everything
And for it all lost our souls

Come my friend, to fate let's raise
Two finger shots at this our last soiree
For tomorrow I fear
Swoops all too deadly near
This precipitous weir to Hell's high gate

We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned

He was a predator, creditor cold
Our blood was young on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered was not gold
But we wanted everything
And for it all lost our souls
Our souls

[Hungaristi]

Three headbangers talking about this song(From Brütal Legend).

1 guy:It's an angel singing

2.guy:It's a devil screaming

3.guy:It's FUCKING AWESOME! |,,|

[JesseIsASquirrel]

@Hungaristi Heh, I just got done playing that for a few hours :p

[nghtmrofdarkness]

I really wish a few more videos were made from Nymphetamine. One of my fav CoF albums. I dont see why its so hated.

[JesseIsASquirrel]

@nghtmrofdarkness Nemesis is like my favorite song. So, naturally, this album is my favorite. I agree.

[nghtmrofdarkness]

@JesseIsASquirrel Dani's vocals on this album are just amazing, my favorite by far. It's a totally different feel from the rest. I think Swansong for a Raven is my favorite, or maybe Coffin Fodder, idk, one of them lol.

[JesseIsASquirrel]

@nghtmrofdarkness Those are both songs of epic proportions, which I should upload at some point, lol. But I'm a guitarist, and I'm more of a fan of Paul's work, myself. Which is expressed -very- well on this album. And Nemesis is my favorite piece of his work. Dani is by far vocally talented as well. Also, I would like to say that I find it -extremely- annoying when people say "That doesn't take talent". It does people. Try to sound like him. You can't.

@filth69ify1 lol Well it's not the band really, the bands amazing.. it's Dani...

[filth69ify1]

[Deadlycovers]

Old cradle of filth was amazing!

Sorry but i cant listen to them anymore! This is one of the worst black metal album ive heard! if you can even call them black metal.

[commandofull]

the piano is fuckin best

[SRsyndrome]

@StellaArtw Artists rip things off all of the time. Dust In The Wind was a finger exercise, for example. Smells Like Teen Spirit is basically the riff from More Than A Feeling. Break On Through To The Other Side stole from Ray Charles. It's less of a theft and more as a form of flattery, as if it were saying "That part was awesome enough to inspire me to build upon it and use it as the basis of an entire song." COF is from England, so they probably heard her song at some point and liked it.

[SRsyndrome]

That high scream just shits all over everything I thought I knew about metal vocals. Awesome.
