Carrion Lyrics by Cradle of Filth

Damnation and a Day: From Genesis to Nemesis...

2003

Lurking in the shade of dark and fragrant trees
Shirking from the rage that tore the heavens free
A vagrant Angel his with span to see
The garden swell with terrors to banish Man and Eve
Another fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half-naked and insane
Full-blooded, breasted
Nerve ends tested
To behests of pain
A sombre lot to gain
As the storm slid in borne by carnal winds
The upper ether thinned and therein sat abomination
Satan seated there
Savouring the reek of desolation
Their dank despair
Moved His speech to leech the air
Behold the golden door to paradise is lost
So praise Me as you raised your Lord
And I shall thaw this gnawing frost
Another fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half-naked and insane
And destined for a spiteful Fate
Wherein evil sought the shamed
As pawns in greater stakes
Across this cosmic game
To win the hand of darkness and
Set Her in Her rightful place
Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face; Shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; For out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return
At the throat of the human race
With claws engorged and poised to rake
With that the pact was sealed
And as creation reeled
Bewitched oration filled
The hearts of all who came to crawl
Upon these earthen fields
A sombre lot to till
A wracked black acid song spat from the massive throng
Of Seraph knelt along the deep red welt to domination
The deep red welt to domination
The deep red welt to domination
The deep red welt to domination
