Cradle of Filth "Hurt And Virtue" Songtext

Hurt And Virtue

Distant vistasSwathed in the hazeOf the reddening sunsetFell to whispers'Neath the stars that marred descending skies

From the cusp of midnight mountainsWending as a mistRebels truced with Feriluce(In truth, few could resist)Came praising this hellraising troughThe sparse and marble climeWhere Virtue bathed, their ravenings madeHer fountains flood with vine

Lifted with the giftOf their dark seductive songsShe drifted from the pathShe was surely set upon

Courting chaosPrized in the sightOf the covering angelTaught in ways ofSmothering another loveOther than God

Worshipped in each other's armsLike spider eidolonsThe moon conducted like a charmThose strange arrangements onAnd this is how they came to beDragged before the throne

Trough tongues that hung whilst theirs were runOn soft white throats and punctured moans

Though fated now than laterBy his tutor that had beenHe baited the CreatorWith the future he had seen

Of Michael, psyched with jealousiesA reich by His sideAnd worming Man about to beThe apple of His eye

His children lost to free willAnd the cost of beaten heartsLike the nigt 'twixt vice and VirtueWhen Her kiss became a scar

Seraph enemiesWhy has my lord forsaken my judgementAm I not free as He to indulge my darkest fantasies?

From embittered lipsThese words were slaveredSplit on the whipsOf their witch hunt gathered

He sought Her gazeMidst drowning crowds that howled in rage...Blasphemer!Blasphemer!

Though She was goneNot lyriced to the song of their spirited throngBut ghosted back where She belonged...

A grace embracing MichaelIn a lace of tears that bleared Her prideHe swallowedBlood followedThrough with spit for all things divineThrough with spit for all things so fucking blind

His seal He toreAnd to the floorHe threw his tie to HeavenSignifying holy war

And watchful of this signA thousand flames, unauthorizedLeft celestial postsTo coalesce and, unifiedReturn their fallen leaderAs he turned one final timeAnd threw a glanceLike a downward lanceThat stung like guilt in every mind
