Cradle Of Filth Lyrics

Album: Bitter Suites to Succubi

Summer Dying Fast Lyrics

Through acrid clouds of summer flies 

the garden swells with a thousand more wise 

Forever flung to celestial dreams 

clawing at the grave of the dead nazarene 

I watch the storm approaching 

the darkness calls my name 

the trees are growing restless 

they feel the season change 

their fruit has putrified 

forbidden once and bound to die 

the thread of life lies severed 

on the brink of paradise 

Grinning winds of hate unfurled 

dash towers tall that grip the sun 

talons stretch beneath her veil 

reclamation, our time has come... 

Autumn spreads its golden wings 

and lays the path for those unseen 

a tangled web of evil spun at last... 

Winter spawns from barren thighs 

to readdress, to slay the blind 

and throw the reins untethered to the skies 

They pray to the full moon rising 

Diana moving with such infinite grace 

wrapped alone in a blanket of nightfall 

how many secrets can they read by your face? 

Will they know of majesty 

of beauty held in dream-dead sleep 

and scarlet seas that bleed the frozen shores? 

Will their "god" of bridled love 

assuage our rule from planes above 

or shrink in fear from Chaos roused for war? 

WAR! 

Wrest askew the nails 

that have held you, lurking deep 

September prayers are waning 

burn the shrines of fettered sheep 

Spearhead the insurrection 

of a world that seeks no end 

"We are what we are, what we shall be, again..." 

Appear; draped in terror 

to the comfort of your kin 

Stain the milky sunset red 

and let the others in... 

Summer's dying...
