cradle of filth - manticore lyrics
“write a story, any story,
but let it have dragons…”
o gods of war
in the jungle corridor
i feel your haughty presence
feasting the manticore
she stalks the shadows, burning
the smoke is thick and reeks of blood
her hunger an eternal yearning
tantric, necromantic
a w-nk fantasy of faith
she religiously feeds
a feverous all man-eater
in the trees i see
her eyes like slithering she of snakes
monstrous this chimera
in her beautiful anger
screaming from the pulpit
d-mnation’s oratory
she is the whispering poisoned dart
and the breath of armageddon all around
the embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
anthropophagous
manticora
press the silent violin of frisson over horror
in my forced hand
sphinx will sing her song and coloured in lullabies
death endorsed invades our lands
gigantic, pyromantic
a beast of naked flame
panting blackened m-sses
from her opulant godhead
ill-barred are those tongues
spread wings eclipse her frame
and in her deep crev-sses
kundalini vents unfed
in darkness
her fastness threshed with fleshing teeth
she comes to masticate you whole
she is the bane of mothers
grand leveller of maa kali’s mardi gras
what man would d-mn the world to summon her?
be still
pray silence lest she stoops to conquer
the perverse acid queen
ten thousand pillars in her heart
uphold a cracked palace of frozen killers
and the mirror in her soul
polished black for scrying nightmares
bubbles with a l-st
that yearns to burn again
razor backed, she attacks
empire’s battle cat
a creature of the white devil’s rule
mythical and mystical
provinces will recall
the swarm of refugees from her pall
mimicking victims
with a voice of the choicest deadpanned in pain
awful claws hold rapport
with the skins of mankind
she is the whispering poisoned dart
and the breath of armageddon all around
the embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
a lick of fire on her lips
as silent as a will o wisp
she comes amongst you all, tigressive
blazing in her pride
h-llraising horrors from the dark-side…
