Cradle Of Filth Prey lyrics

Nightfall, in thrall, I call her beauty to me
Whose ebon-lidded eyes excite shadows to wander through me
Whose kiss glittered with sleep is a thief come after dark
To steal away the leaden wreaths from my cemetery heart

Thrilled to see the light bruise-reddened, silhouetting
Murder sites as dusk attends her son's blood wedding
Split across the skies in reefs of omen
Licking flames and pagan rites the night awaits with baited thighs

Start this artist darkness yearning now to start this
Burning as an artist turning on the darkness
Dizzy looking up with per vertigo
A sewer deity of recrement world below

I'll make you pray I spy with wicked lips
The cream of mortal kind committing their sins
Their penitent skins to the harems of my mind

Prey thrilled to breathe tonight the sultry air of graces
Passed in flight like birds of May with playful faces
Fills me with delight their crystal skirts

Spun from stars, worn tight wink of fists in wishful places

Start this artist darkness yearning now to start this
Burning as an artist turning on the darkness
Dizzy looking up with per vertigo
A sewer deity of recrement world below

I'll make you pray my whims like smoke in summertime
Writhe atop the blooms committing their thin
White Catholic limbs to the cloister in my room

You see I need to feed my dreams to order
To be agreed with the beast in me
That bleeds their borders

Prey nightfall, in thrall I call her beauty to me
Whose ebon-lidded eyes excite shadows to wander through me
Whose kiss glittered with sleep is a thief come after dark
To steal away the leaden wreaths from my cemetery heart
