Lyrics

This is From the cradle to enslave Two thousand fattened years like maniacs Have despoiled our common grave Now what necrophagous second coming Backs from the cradle to enslave? Sickle constellations Stud the belts that welt the sky Whilst the bitter winter moon Prowls the clouds, dead-eyed Shifting parent flesh, silk matricide Watchful as she was upon eden Where every rose arbour and orchard she swept Hid the hissing of a serpent libido In an ancient tryst with catastrophe Soon hear that hissing now on the breeze As through the plundered groves of the carnal garden A fresh horror blows but ten billion souls Are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees This is the theme to a bitter armageddon Nightchords rake the heavens Pandaemonaeon What use are prayers to that God? As devils bay concenus for the space to piss On your smouldering faith And the the mouldering face Of this world long a paradise lost This is the end of everything (Hear the growing chora that a new dawn shall bring) Dance macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate What sick activities will be freed when those lights burn black? The darkside of the mirror always threw our malice back I see the serpentine in your eyes The nature of the beast as revelations arrive Our screams shall trail to angels Damned in flames repay All sinners lose their lot on judgement day We should have cut our losses as at calvary But our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief Salvation, like a promised nation Gleamed a claim away This is the end of everything you have ever known Buried like vanquished reason Death in season Driven like the drifting snow Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasising war On our knees or another fucker's shore Heiling new flesh To a crooked cross and a holy cause What else be whipped to frenzy for? This is the end of everything Old adversaries, next of Eve Now they're clawing back I smell their cumming as through webbed panes of meat Led by hoary death, they never left Dreaming sodomies We've bled upon our knees Tablatures of gravel law Shall see Gehennah paved When empires fall and nightmares crawl From the, from the cradle to enslave
