Absinthe With Faust Lyrics by Cradle of Filth

Nymphetamine

2004

[Verse 1]
Pour the emerald wine
Into crystal glasses
We will touch the divine
Through kisses catharsis
[Verse 2]
Let us pitch to the seven-year itch
Of the ultra-decadent
To a tainted world and the painted girls
That our fantasies spent
[Verse 3]
Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes
Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams
A toast to those most sacrilegious of days
Where for every whim won
One soon repays
[Chorus 1]
We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned
[Verse 4]
We have spent our time
Drenched in opulent splendour
But when midnight chimes
Will gilded souls surrender?
[Verse 5]
Let us drink on the giddying brink
Of pools of excrement
All manner of shit for the glamour and glitz
Mephistopheles lent
[Verse 6]
I remember the night as if it were engraved
A bright marble bridge stretched across the dark waves
To the shore from the moon and by her grace
Came that erudite stranger
That fucker
[Chorus 2]
He was a predator, creditor cold
Our blood was shed on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered was not gold
But we wanted everything
And for it all, lost our souls
[Verse 7]
Come my friend, to fate let's raise
Two finger shots at this our last soiree
For tomorrow I fear
Swoops all too deadly near
This precipitous weir to Hell's high gate
[Chorus 1]
We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned
[Chorus 2]
He was a preditor, creditor, cold
Our blood was shed on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered, was not gold
But we wanted everything
And for it all, lost our souls
[Outro]
Our souls
For it all lost our souls
Our souls
