Cradle Of Filth Miscellaneous Babalon A.D. I bled on a pivotal stretch Like a clockwork Christ Bears sore stigmata , bored And as i threw Job , I drove Myself to a martyred wretch To see if I drew pity Or pretty litanies from the Lord So the plot sickened With the comming of days Ill millennia thickened Wht the claret I sprayed And though they saw red I left a dirty white stain A splintered knot in the grain On Eden`s marital aid So glad for the madness I walked the walls naked to the moon In Sodom and Babylon And through rich whores and corridors Of the Vatican I led a sordid Borgia an I read the Urilia text So that mortals wormed As livebait for the dead And as I broke hope , I choked Another Pope with manna peel Dictating to DeSade In the dark entrails of the Bastille And as He wrote , I smote A royal blow to the heads of France And in the sheen of guillotines I saw others , fallen , dance I was an incurable Necromantic old fool A phagadaena that crawled Drooling over the past A rabid wolf in a shawl A razor`s edge to the rule That the stars overall Were never destined to last So glad for the madness I furnaced dreams , a poet , foe of sleep Turning sermons with the smell On Witchfinder fingers Where bad memories lingered Burning , as when Dante Was freed to map Hell I sired schemes and the means To catch sight of the seams And the vagaries inbetween... And midst the lips and the curls Of this cunt of a world In glimpses I would see A nymph with eyes for me Eyes of fire that set all life aflame Lights that surpassed art In sight , that no intense device of pain Could prise their secrets from my heart I knew not Her name Though her kiss was the same Without a whisper of shame As either Virtue or Sin`s And pressed to Her Curve I felt my destiny swerve From damnation reserved To a permanent grin... So glad for the madness |
