Lyrics Cradle of Filth

Cradle of Filth

Us, Dark, Invincible

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

Seize the night

Before the fevers take flight

Cicadas drown out delight

In this horny cornucopia

The stars are alight

We have desires in sight

Dark immortals, bedight

In the throes of lycanthropia

Drink deep when dusk descends

The moon-kissed air

That succours...

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

We know our sins appall

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

We know our sins appall

We, the children of The Fall

Dripping with gall

The gothic-scarred principle

Our balustrades standing tall

Us, dark, invincible

Freeze the day

Let our nocturnal foray

Keep Aurora at bay

From this candlelit utopia

As orchestras play

Nightmares speak of the way

We're painting over the grey

In a dripping red sinopia

Bursting with flame

Seasoned teeth, never tame

We're first in whispered disdain

Icons for their nyctophobia

We suitor ill winds

Incalculable sins

The face of vanity grins

At our human race ectopia

Drink deep when dusk descends

The moon-kissed air

That succours...

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

We know our sins appall

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

We know our sins appall

We, the children of the fall

Dripping with gall

The gothic-scarred principle

Our balustrades standing tall

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

What fires die

In the hearts of those awry?

And what mad embers arise

In the veins of the insatiable?

What dreams might fly

Through the mist and midnight skies

When our cold souls fantasise

On the warmth of walls now scaleable?

Never

Never will we break the vows

We took when we swore to the dark

Never will the shadows bow

On the house of our ancient caste

Never

Never will their rule renew

For when the Day Of Reckoning is over

I'll bring their severed heads to you
