Cradle Of Filth - Scorched Earth Erotica Lyrics
Sunset, expectThis to be your last with Our vast returnAs Death is setAt three sixes where hill-beacons burnDarkness, undressYour descending skirts yield a thirsting altarBlood-red, yet still unfedLips distend ending time to falterWelcome arms wide and crucified...the slaughterLightning freezes sevenOuttakes from the rape of the worldSins expelled from HeavenNow befoul from the bowels of HellWhere the tragic in theory and practice fellLast prayers, hang in the airEach unto their own rag and bonemeal savioursStrung where crippled vultures dareGolgothaCoughs another cross to grave God's failureOne the forest spiredNurtured in Nature's heartNow great cedars feed the pyresNeed-fires lit for greater harmAs Her children toy with razorsSightless and deeply scarredAnd the moon arose to phase HerCracks a grin so wide it hides the starsAnd lights Our pathBack through the shattered glassWhere the tragic in theory and practice meetDeranged, uncagedWe rage like a plague through this age of greedSowers of discord, growing wars to reapA terrible crop to beat a vicious retreatSorched Earth, rebirthDisintered in the writhe of the lone survivorWhose worth is worse than the curseOf Sardonicus choking on his own salivaWho shares the last laugh nowDead wedded fates fulfil their vows?Foot in mouth of sacred cowsFacedown in dust and poisened ground
