Cradle Of Filth - The Abhorrent lyrics

I sing desolation On the breath of centuries Bringing annihilation Slaughter courses through my enemies I was not always so cold Once upon a crime in times of favour I had lived a God amongst the bold Like a true poetic saviour But my people were dissolved By the flames of righteous strangers My name blackened ten thousandfold d**h grew to know me... As the abhorrent Stricken from the light As dividing curses poured I was hiding in the thickening mire Biding for my war I'm climbing up the years to get you From a dark abyssic scheme Lovecraftian, part-Martian To be the beast I used to be My laureates of gold are sold Horns spear the reddened sea And by my transformed hand Be sure The Heavens hear your final screams Tonight this world is burning To a fulsome serenade Arch nemesis, I'm the genesis Of a raging plague about to break Blue eyes rolled headlong to black When the darkness drew me to her caresses I was not always so co cold Once upon a crime in times of old I had lived a God amongst the folds Of creeping epic failure But my people were dissolved By the flames of righteous strangers My name blackened and deeds annulled They grew to know me... As the abhorrent I'm a cemetery and a garden Ripe with near-putrefied life A phallus beginning to harden On the philosophy of a prurient knife I hear the dead begin to cry Hostis Humanis Generis My favorite leaden lullaby On sacred eves I've asked for sacrifice Mere moments of atonement For your despise A stern believer That the great deceiver Is your precious God Whose preachers saw me demonised Now, the sun it sets On your nascent best of days Time to rise Gorgon, Calibos and Cane Titans unrepentant Lord Lucifer insane If I am the Devil I shall honour my spiteful name Tonight this world is burning To a fulsome serenade Arch nemesis, the rest of this Destructive wickedness is on its way
