Cradle Of Filth - All Hope In Eclipse Lyrics
All hope in eclipseA thousand nights one succoured meIn the shadow of miss anne thropy-Sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flameA cruel tongue at work in her secret vaultsSent rebellion's embers into revoltThe coming of extinctionSynched to whimpers of my name...Legion I arose, a flood of inhumanityAn acid reign to purify the worldThe asp at pharaoh's breastThe atom split under duressA sniper at the gates of spattered pearlMy heart, torn apart, left a rifled grave...Save for an unfurled flag of hateTo enthral a mindless zombie raceAll heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine's giftAll heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipseBlack bibles I inscribed,The words "damnation throughout design"Seemed a bitter truth far better for the lieFor as hope was felled by reasonForlorn became the seasonAnd death was swift to swallow on the heels of lifeLoered souls, growing cold, tendered easy preyWhen heaven's flock, a fair game, droppedI bored of war with god with greater thrones toClaim...All heil, all heil, all heil the libertine's wishAll heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse(There was not a prayer left in this wretched world)Then between the past and the ravening darkA sly messiah cameIn the thick of treaty with obligatory greedShe stole the soul hate had sold awayAn ancient chill blew down the centuriesThat night atonements eyesLit a burning man in meWhen love lay bleedingAnd fates safe feedingFrom wounds gored 'neathThose cherubic wingsShe of kindred lightGladly sacrificedEternityJust to beWith meAs the moon whos silvered fingers playOn words and dreams too cursed for dayShe led my hand to lands Id not accruedWhere the faun dawn bathed her golden hairAnd faith renewed, leapt joyous thereI praised their worth, then planned their conquestToo...All heil, all heil, all heil the serpentine's giftAll heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipseAll heil, all heil, all heil the libertine's wishAll heil, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse... And ignorance is truly bliss
