Lyrics Medusa and hemlock Cradle Of Filth

Medusa and hemlock

dim the lights,wrong the rights
toss the puerile 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 welcome by the western gate
with the five fold kiss
for every soul returning
from the fecund abyss
where nature's travisties congregate
with a stone cold wish
to see the wikermen burning

the wind,she whispers
through the graveyards or our hearts...
wreathed in dreams
as she weaves her witchcraft
we breath 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 welcome by the western gate
with the five fold kiss
for every soul returning
from the fecund abyss
where nature's travisties congregate
with a stone cold wish
to see the wikermen burning

the wind,she flitters
through the forest of our hearts...
wreathed in leaves
as she weaves her witchcraft
we breath enamoured
of the conquering dark

i will trace the knot of serpents in your hair
plot your face,then ascending marble stairs
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
greive,just to be
uncharted on this eve
when part of me chars a path
through your heavenly constellations

medusa and hemlock

back to black,hindges crack
rituals call obscenities
sheets of demons rush insanity skies

tread the salt,the dead exult
preacers beg our clemency
seeking warnth in inhumanity's eyes

we who kept the candle by the vault

we who kept the handle on the cult
