Cradle of Filth "Doberman Pharaoh" letra

Doberman Pharaoh

To and fro, through freeze and thawsFrom zenith to nadirThe universal tug of warSaw lines drawn in the sands appearDivisions of a promised landAnd Hell for those that dweltBeneath a Pharaoh's granite handWhere death wed something else

Millennia swam passedSince the covened ArkRan aground on Ararat...

But anew, tempered shadows grewOut of Midian, strewing fearOver verdant lawns, the resurgent stormsLed a desert son to sear

From the palace orchard I espied...(Where swooning trees and moonless beams viedFor the painted eye of the royal brideWhose gliding curves were deified)...beyond Her grace where love would dieWretched destiny arrive

Back and forth the prophet cameRiddled with a tongue of plaguesThat would render might Egypt lameIf the rage of God stayed unassuaged...I listened with a heavy heartBut unveiled to the threatsThis Hebrew in a jackal's maskWould dredge into effect

Thenceforth the Nile reddeneds if Set stretched His handTo beset the damned

And bruised with fliesThe skies grew leadened

But these miracles, fearedWere all but rearedBy nature, whose law aloneStood that revered

This hysteria passed, but still the markOf Yahveh burned on in the dark

One final time, on the steps to the shrineOf Thoth, I twined with fate"Let my people go""Still my word is no""Then Death shall be the deciding plague"

Since the crimes divine I left behindI'd warred with every tribe that pliedIn holy vestament, but with timeBored sore of clawing what was mineI laid my bones and made my throneWith a view to paradise

Thenceforth the heavens deafenedAs if great beastsWere unleashed to feast on man

And with carrion spanMichael was weaponed

To descend with scornA dark reformThrough Pi-RamsesSkinning mine and Her firstborn

Thus suspiria passed each sacred markOf Yahveh, bleeding in the dark

With nauseous dawn, a cry, forlornUnified from plazas deepThe prophet's curseFar worse had workedTo wrest the war in me from sleep

Drowned in light, a downward lightBathed the snaking exodusThrough the wildernessAs the Aeons creptImpressed with fresh bloodlust
