Cradle of Filth Mannequin

Taken from the 'Damnation And A Day' album, "Mannequin'.

Amazing Song a Video

Led to other worlds
By the girls she curled within
I took their skins to see Her
Be my mannequin
Be my mannequin
I cannot remember
How it was that we first met
Curve of moon and haunted shore
The stars were not those Heaven sent
Did we come together
At masked palatial Balls
In silks and flesh and leather
Or did we come at all?
I dreamt a midnight castle
The eerie song of wolves
And eyes that danced with fire
As they have forever more
Our rites of sin
Have long fathered a hymn
To burden Him
Whom by slip of after whim
At genesis
Dressed Her like the wind
In Autumn gowns
That pinned Her down
To be my mannequin
Be my mannequin
Always poised on winter
But never would She break
My lovecraft and black witch heart
That pounded in Her wake
We kissed on distant balconies
A law unto Her own
Thirteenth dark commandment
Of figures pressed to stone
Turning cream with fantasies
That God alone would know
We graced vomitorium
With the sweet excess of Rome
Flagrant in the past
Our names were deeply carved On the tree of life in long dead languages
Led to other worlds
By the girls she curled within
I took their skins to see Her
Be my mannequin
Be my mannequin
I tongued the nuns at Louviers
But not one word possessed
Her divine right, an archetype
For mortal Goddesses...

be my mannequin!

Cradle the BEST.

[musicalkaratekid]

this is ultimately one of the best flowing songs from cradle of filth. dani really does stretch himself with his variety of voices,and sarah jezebel deva's harmonical vocals make it all the more sweeter. i really wish kerrang and scuzz should play these daily:( but i do have all their albums,so 'like i give a fuck';)

[ebazz8305]

[bloodycountess1313]

i showed this to a preppy girl at school and it scared her

[1JayCutlerFan1]

I would never listen to this kind of music in my life but.. there's something different about this song, this is amazing, I love that chicks' vocals

[Istabyou666]

dani filth dedicated this song to my wife at a concert in atl. ga in 2004 little did i know it was about whores, hahahaha

[EndOfYourDays]

Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder was quite a surprise. I never thought they sold out, I just thought they kind of lost their edge. But, they seemed to have gotten it back.

[TheFateill]

tyrant i agree you said it its fuckin rediciealious thats what they do to make ther money i dont see how thats selling out if it sounds good i listen too it

[TYRANTSofTRANCE]

It's funny, everyone goes on and on trying to debate if they are "sellouts". In my opinion, we just need to realize that they are part of the music BUSINESS!!! It's all about money at the end of the day, if they didn't find a way to make it work, they wouldn't have maintained a record deal, and get tours, etc.
