Lyrics Cradle of Filth

Cradle of Filth

Unleash the Hellion

I have basked like a phantom in shadow

Haunting gauntest opera eaves

As the cast was aware of nothing more in the air

Than the whisper of snow on the Autumnal breeze

As the ignorant waltzed

The ballad changed it's melody

Shunning the sun for infernal gloom

I felt joy in deep misery

But fate's found me out by the plight of the moon

Blazing a path that laughed at my own ill-ease

Drown despair with molten deeds

Fell the beast before it feeds

Master the sacred

Blast the horns that razed cities

Tell the grating world upon its knees

That I am free

This tethered Hellcat is unleashed

Unwinding, sore

Grinding to the core

This fucking Hellion is unleashed

The feeling is back like a Pharaonic curse

The scent of fresh blood to a ravenous thirst

Lazarus risen, brought back from the dead

Realisation, this seasoning dread

Adrift in the cosmos, naked and rife

We breed without meaning

Gifted with fleeting life

Drown despair with molten deeds

Fell the beast before it feeds

Master the sacred

Blast the horns that razed cities

Tell the grating world upon its knees

That I am free

The gates of the mind splinter open wide

On rusted hinges, must infringes

Senses thrust to override

Explode upon reality, I thought long-lost, I failed to see

The forest for the trees

My fire had fled and died

I now behold a dawn adorned with majesty

To never dare embrace it would be a travesty

A seething Chaotopia, a bedlam time story

For, if this is the end

I want my wretched scars to breathe

Now sinkholes spit me back

The shades retreat like scattered dogs

As the earth is ablaze with the end of days

I watch the palaces burn along with gods

Portals of thought have delivered me

From the brink of a stinking abyss

Wherein the view was of pain and askew

With an apathy born of crisis

Existential, for our place in the spheres

Gleamed meaningless, I must confide

I suffered, a fool at the mercy of fear

For what good was living when dying inside?

Drown despair with molten deeds

Fell the beast before it feeds

Master the sacred

Blast the horns that razed cities

Tell the grating world upon its knees

That I am free

This tethered Hellcat is unleashed

Unwinding, sore

Grinding to the core

This fucking Hellion is upon them
