Cradle of Filth "Illicitus" paroles

Illicitus

Forlornucopial the wealth of miseryAnd favoured haunts of sorrow hold no lureDeep swathes of gloomthat once cocooned me in dark liveryNow clothed me in suits ill-borrowed from the pure

Alas it's trueThe beast you knewFound breath anewIn the heartstrings of love's assassin

She was a huntressAnd an alabaster brideA Venus not averse to taking sides

And in all my centuriesBar Carmilla in ceriseNever had I fallen save for foolish pride

As we walked, our affrighted lanternsFed the lengthy shadows with their tallow lullabiesThe fragrant night air chilled by sighted phantomsClouds drew cobweb threads across a sallow moonrise

Illicitus

So capricious

Superstitious to the point of philistineThe glue of secrecy grew paper thinHer beauty so deliciousIn the realm of the divineThe cross about her throat gave up to sin

In expectationHer lips to findThe crates were blazing in my stone cold cellars

That traitor loveOnce its spell ran headlong through my veins

Now I felt it roar againLike an urge for murder...Her kissThe paradigm of blissHot whispers on the windIn swanlike curves I graced salvation

Amidst both world I promised herEternity would be beautiful

Yet on the cuspI still not truly dared

Her eyes plied hard a burning willBeseeching on her kneesLike Salome unfulfilled

I hung between two thievesGuilt and spilt desireUntil that flame became a fireAll consuming

With strength renewedI turned againDeath all lit up by my perfect victim

And she grewThe scourge of menThey hissed her name in perverted dictum

Now we walk, our cavorting aurasFeed the lengthy shadows with their sullen lullabiesThe fragrant night air filled with haunting chorusClouds draw cobweb threads across a bloodied moonrise
