From the Cradle to Enslave

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
