Babalon A.D. - Cradle of Filth

Babalon A.D. LRC歌词

[00:00.74]Babalon A.D.

[00:12.95]

[00:41.91]I bled on a pivotal stretch

[00:44.03]Like a clockwork Christ

[00:45.43]Bears sore stigmata, bored

[00:48.26]

[00:48.49]And as I threw Job, I drove

[00:51.16]Myself to a martyred wretch

[00:54.29]To see if I drew pity

[00:56.73]Or pretty litanies from the Lord

[00:59.70]

[01:00.24]So the plot sickened

[01:01.63]With the coming of days

[01:02.95]Ill millennia thickened

[01:04.39]With the claret I sprayed

[01:06.36]And though they saw red

[01:07.61]I left a dirty white stain

[01:08.84]A splintered knot in the grain

[01:10.42]On Eden’s marital aid

[01:12.71]

[01:16.67]So glad for the madness(x2)

[01:24.84]

[01:36.07]I walked the walls naked to the moon

[01:38.71]In Sodom and Babylon

[01:41.97]And through rich whores and corridors

[01:43.82]Of the Vatican

[01:45.74]I led a sordid Borgia on

[01:48.34]

[01:53.17]I read the Urilia text

[01:55.17]So that mortals wormed

[01:56.82]As livebait for the dead

[01:59.45]

[01:59.93]And as I broke hope, I choked

[02:02.75]Another Pope with manna peel

[02:05.64]Dictating to DeSade

[02:07.29]In the dark entrails of the Bastille

[02:12.26]And as He wrote, I smote

[02:14.53]A royal blow to the heads of France

[02:18.36]And in the sheen of guillotines

[02:20.68]I saw others, fallen, dance

[02:27.04]

[02:47.39]I was an incurable

[02:48.64]Necromantic old fool

[02:50.20]A phagadaena that crawled

[02:51.86]Drooling over the past

[02:53.46]A rabid wolf in a shawl

[02:54.59]A razor’s edge to the rule

[02:56.19]That the stars overall

[02:57.62]Were never destined to last

[02:59.64]

[03:03.86]So glad for the madness(x2)

[03:14.91]

[03:23.41]I furnaced dreams, a poet, foe of sleep

[03:26.28]Turning sermons with the smell

[03:29.23]On Witchfinder fingers

[03:30.68]Where bad memories lingered

[03:32.23]Burning, as when Dante

[03:33.79]Was freed to map Hell

[03:35.43]

[03:40.94]I sired schemes and the means

[03:42.63]To catch sight of the seams

[03:44.14]And the vagaries inbetween...

[03:47.30]

[04:00.03]And midst the lips and the curls

[04:02.34]Of this cunt of a world

[04:07.29]In glimpses I would see

[04:09.64]A nymph with eyes for me

[04:22.32]

[04:23.73]Eyes of fire that set all life aflame

[04:25.88]Lights that surpassed art

[04:28.98]In sight , that no intense device of pain

[04:31.81]Could prise their secrets from my heart

[04:35.22]

[04:37.10]I knew not Her name

[04:38.27]Though her kiss was the same

[04:39.56]Without a whisper of shame

[04:40.94]As either Virtue or Sin’s

[04:42.90]And pressed to Her Curve

[04:44.10]I felt my destiny swerve

[04:45.53]From damnation reserved

[04:47.11]To a permanent grin...

[04:49.02]

[04:53.50]So glad for the madness(x2)

[05:07.54]
