Medusa & Hemlock

Cradle Of Filth

6

Dim the lights, wrong the rites

Toss the peurile cross away

We are gashing from a venomous womb

Burning bright, dead of night

Pyres stain a milky way

Lust is splashing the dark face of the moon

In the Samhain mist

We lay in welcome by the western gate

With the five fold kiss

For every soul returning

From the fecund abyss

Where nature's travesties congregate

With a stone cold wish

To see the wickermen burning

The wind, she whispers

Through the graveyards of our hearts...

Wreathed in dreams

As she weaves Her witchcraft

We breathe, enamoured

Of the conquering dark

Medusa and Hemlock

Harvest past, fires cast

Ashen shades this Hallowe'en

We are Set now to Beherit the earth

Widdershins, death begins

To fashion fete from gallow scenes...

Spirits rising to discredit rebirth

In the Samhain mist

We lay in welcome by the western gate

With the five fold kiss

For every soul returning

From the fecund abyss

Where nature's travesties congregate

With a stone cold wish

To see the wickermen burning

The wind, she flitters

Through the forests of our hearts...

Wreathed in leaves

As she weaves her witchcraft

We breathe, enamoured

Of the conquering dark

I will trace the knot of serpents in your hair

Plot your face, then ascending marble stars

You shall pluck me, masked, from roses-in-despair

Tasting my blood

That runs from worming tongue like prayer

Under pagan veneer snakes a fear

That makes the stars

Grieve, just to be

Uncharted on this Eve

When part of me chars a path

Through your heavely constellations

Medusa and Hemlock

Back to black, hinges crack

Rituals call obscenities

Sheets of demons rush insanity skies

Tread the salt, the dead exult

Preachers beg our clemency

Seeking warmth in inhumanity's eye
