Medusa and Hemlock

Artist：cradle of filth

Songs Title：medusa and hemlock

Dim the lights wrong the rights

Toss the puerile cross away

We are gashing from a venomous womb

Burning bright dead of night

Pyres stain a milky way

Lust is splashing the dark face of the moon

In the samhain mist

We lay welcome by the western gate

With the five fold kiss

For every soul returning

From the fecund abyss

Where nature's travisties congregate

With a stone cold wish

To see the wikermen burning

The wind she whispers

Through the graveyards or our hearts

Wreathed in dreams

As she weaves her witchcraft

We breath enamoured

Of the conquering dark

Medusa and hemlock

Harvest past fires cast

Ashen shades this hallowe'en

We are set now to beherit the earth

Widdershins death begins

To fashion fete from gallow scenes

Spirits rising to discredit rebirth

In the samhain mist

We lay welcome by the western gate

With the five fold kiss

For every soul returning

From the fecund abyss

Where nature's travisties congregate

With a stone cold wish

To see the wikermen burning

The wind she flitters

Through the forest of our hearts

Wreathed in leaves

As she weaves her witchcraft

We breath enamoured

Of the conquering dark

I will trace the knot of serpents in your hair

Plot your face then ascending marble stairs

You shall pluck me masked from roses-in-despair

Tasting my blood

That runs from worming tongue like prayer

Under pagan veneer snakes a fear

That makes the stars

Greive just to be

Uncharted on this eve

When part of me chars a path

Through your heavenly constellations

Medusa and hemlock

Back to black hindges crack

Rituals call obscenities

Sheets of demons rush insanity skies

Tread the salt the dead exult

Preacers beg our clemency

Seeking warnth in inhumanity's eyes

We who kept the candle by the vault

We who kept the handle on the cult
