Cradle Of Filth - Achingly Beautiful Lyrics
Night, that fateful raven alighted on the cusp of my bewitchment
The beast in the clouds had swallowed the moon
A silverback thundering across the cosmos
In silence now stars followed her tune
I penned an open sonnet, to the pearly gates ablaze
As I gazed upon this angel intoxicating everything
The ball became her court, her presence there electrifying
Candelabra fought, to tear themselves away
She was a flame, divine
My pathic call of duty, irrefutable
Her eyes they paralyzed me, froze the flow of time
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Fleeing from the manor in the manner of this crime
We sheltered from the pelting, helter-skelter of the skies
In the Greek gazebo, speaking tragedian rhyme
Death would never settle, for one petal at a time
He would pluck
Lo, this malleus eve, is heaving to the pulse of souls
She was the game, sublime
A Knight takes Queen in ruby, Indisputable
Then her eyes, they paralyzed me for a second time
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Drinking in her flora this Aurora to the storm
I was burning in the furnace of a love that went to war
With ravenous desire, fires lit the heavens for
Caressing in the rainfall, a less painful metaphor
For this hunger
On marbled tomb
Breathless, cocooned
A long red dress shrouds, like Ophelia, this Goddess
Mourning then crawls
Black velvet palled
To pass fervent lips, betwixt her deliciousness
Miserere Mei Diva
Forgive me forever my bride
But a gift was delivered, however perverse
On that night you exquisitely died
(Seraphina rise)
Arcane perfection, her legend was etched
(To queen demon revised)
A fell resurrection, unparalleled in this world or next
Awaken, forsaken, by others so taken as prey
Now you shall stand in the grandeur of love
A wonderland in which to play
The beast in the clouds spat back the moon
And arrayed in a crown of glittering cobwebs
She slid to her feet like a prophet of doom
Born to immortal darkness as mortality slipped away
She was a flame, divine
My gnathic call of duty, irrefutable
Her eyes imparadised me with their wicked shine
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Now she stirs the night just like the perfect Lorelei
As she spurs the dark horse foaming in my soul
Death is fleet, sweet, oft discreet, the beast in beauty's mask
Her skies, bediademed, complete, now freed of days grown overcast

Cradle Of Filth Achingly Beautiful Comments

Awesome song, all powers in there as usual. Perfect.

🦂🔪🧨🎃🕒🔥☄💊💉🏴☠️🇲🇽
Hall Danny
Damn ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Epic! Totally makes me think of edgar Allen poe shit which is awesome cause I JUST finished The Raven! XD
I've always loved you cradle of filth
Queremos rooooock🤘🤘🤘🤘👅👅👅😈😈😈😁😆😆😆
Jesus christ that intro is so too fuckin good!!
they should always show the words when they play live it would have way more impact because he is a great writer
it was 96 i think when dusk released and i first heard them,and from then became on my favourite metal bands
I hate opera mixed with this just stop that bullshit and they would be great
I really, really wish I could meet Dani Filth, and fail gloriously at my attempts to thank him for writing songs like this.
they still sound decent but they'' never be as good 30 band members ago. songs like lord abortion hurt and virtue devil to the metal,,, Ill shut up
This is honestly one of the coolest lyric videos I've seen.
cradle of filth and it's iconic YAAAAAAAAAAA!
Love that middle easterny guitar intro and Marthus blasting is just insane!
5:01 - 5:51 one of the most beautiful and strong momnent of the song, amazing!
Achingly beautiful.
Esse álbum é foda demais!
if great bands will e'er stop plagiarizing themselves on an on, that will be just great!
brutal biencabrones regresen o mantengan la llama de sus inicios
Greek gazebo?
I am starting to like this band a lot. But why does Dani Filth scream like that? And how????? It's really eerie and creepy but super cool, sometimes a bit out of place but it fits well for the darkest parts of most songs. His cleans/growling vocals are super awesome, wish some other bands I've heard did the same in a way.
Ohhh that's sooo cradle of filth.... the one that got me into black metal 16 years ago.... I'm so happy with this album..... it's beautiful
im no longer listen to cof right after their midian album. No more melodic..:(
THIIIIS!!! THISSS is Cradle of Filth. Much much better!
This song has single handedly defeated all metal acts out there.
My new favorite cradle song
The band needs to have the vampiric and gothic atmosphere back!
117 idiots
je suis dani depuis des sannée je trouve ces sabum de plus s'en plus travailer et vocalement il est toutjours top je les vu en vrai pour tornography en 2006
cradle is best vocalist satanic men
Dani's flow at 1:45 is so godlike. Love all this new CoF.
This really does sound like their older shit. Bout time...
It’s always been the metal cum operatic tone of Cof songs that draws me.
Amo esta canción desde Lima-Peru lml !!!
"We sheltered from the pelting helter-skelter of the skies, in the Greek gazebo speaking tragedean rhyme"
NICE VIDEO LOL DANI
The song slices through my mind
Elegantly brutal.
Brutal asf
I hear great things from cradle
Magnífico!!!!
how?? how can somebody come up with these lyrics? amazing!
So fucking good.
So.. he's basically saying he'd take a candle holder in the arse for her. She then literally fucked him over. He went back to fuck her over. He got fucked again by her devil vagina magic. He played it safe, tip toeing on eggshells and married her, then killed her on the first night, probably nutted in her corpse and enjoyed it. Thus a curse infested. He became the beast he is while she became something undesirably beautiful. nekt minut she's riding him with a candelabra up his proktos. But they're happy.
Romantic.
I love that drum transition from 0:56 to 1:06.
I wish I was a vampire.
Cradle we will see 15th february in Barcelona!!! I was 13 years waiting for this moment!!! I ❤️cof I❤️Dani filth
Surely one of their greatest songs. Melodic, dark and raw.
Damn Dani!! He’s 44 years old and can still scream like that!!! 😍🖤🖤
Pathic can be taken in many ways. JUST LIKE THE GREEKS! BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
Amazing
Molaaaa!!!
Dani has come up with some great lyrics over all the years, but this, to me, must be the best. Edgar Allan Poe himself could not have created this dark masterpiece
3:50 reminds me so much of My Dying Bride, beautiful.
Come to Brazil! ! !
It is great they are sounding more like their earlier work.
This made me so wet ❤
To me this album is the pinnacle of Cradle's music career. Dani's voice is on point, I definitely like how he uses more lower tones so when he does scream it feels more electric, the guitar work is top notch and full of riffs and solos, The keyboard and choiresque sounds in the background is so atmospheric sounds sends shivvers down my spine and the drumming...... its fast and complex with its variety of beats. The music sounds matured from the 90s era Cradle and i simply cannot get enuff of this album.
My relationship with my mom...thays What achingly beautiful is
I can sound just like Dani Filth corpsegrinder as well I just lack a good camera and microphone
Why? Hank Sherman type Guitar talent solos. A great structured epic with many riff adventures. Remembers Extreme. Becomes a solid song after all the insanity then takes us on and drops us.
C0F becomes an achingly beautiful Mercyful Fate.
fuck...That was {so stoned} fucking perfection. It took me on a journey. I'll protect my moment (wow this is working) like a newborn cub. (stoned and extreme) and then I become self aware..
I could jack off to every song from COF ! Lmao!! Just badass!!!!!!!
I linked that here while being deeply impressed for I know THAT ALL IS OF GOD (ὅτι ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα· αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀμήν - Rom 11:36 - LITERALLY: because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all the things, to Him is the glory to the ages. Amen). There you have it - ALL IS OF GOD, ALL, INCLUDIND CRADLE OF FILTH... If you don´t believe in God, NO PROBLEM! FOR GOD BELIEVES IN YOU! For HE LOVES YOU BECAUSE IT IS LOVE BEING THE MOST PATIENT AND GENTLE FORCE IN THE ENTIRE CREATION! Greetings from Germany... Here is the link: Revelation Series #786: Let The Filthy Remain Filthy Still - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX0DeU_keLg
Sometimes people seems to forget that COF was formed in 1991. 26 fuckin years ago and still MAKING METAL some like some not but cmon they are true legends in metal spectrum.!!!ALL HAIL CRADLE OF FILTH!!
it's not "they", only Dani is from the original Cof, the rest of the band are new.
@ilya wolf still. They are making music. Good music too.
Thank you CoF, perfect timing
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Niesamowity utwór. Przypomina mi piękne czasy "Dusk and Her Embrace"
This is almost midianish
Cradle will be with me until the day I die, and then forever afterwards wherever my soul may fly.
et cradle redevenue cradle
BRING ON THE 10th NOV 2017!!!!!!!!!!
Midian... Radio Disney Period ...Cryptoriana
Fuck my Life!!
1:03 - 1:18 Man, this certain riff and Lindsay's haunting voice have really engraved themselves deep in my memory eversince I first heard the song. Top notch album overall, my money was well spent. Got it yesterday in the mailbox and played it 3 times already.
demonic band. i like it. I follow this band a many time ago.
Not some of their better work.
muy retroooooooooooo chimbaaaa
Awesome! Like old CRADLE.
2017 best album.
great tunes great words great vision... :3 get lucky with next your work....
Jesus CHRIST, the build up to the solo and then just unleashed chaos. This song is genius.
This keyboard is fucking awesome!!!!
O banda boa do caralho hein,cadê os BR dessa porra,?
anytime Dani does that loud screaming you know it's going to be a brutal fucking song
Are you FUCKING kidding me!?!??! o______o
how can you compose THIS after 20 years?
Unbelievable <3
My aching eyes !!
That was fucking annoying.
New enmeshment, from typewriter to pure read with candle light. Cradle of Filth is reinvented in this one, a melodic change from the usual sound the band creates...and it sounds good. A change to embrace this resonates well aside most of their songs in actuality. Perfect idea.
This is some good freaking black metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Venom, Behemoth, and Cradle of Filth are my 3 favorite black metal bands
Nothing new , nothing better than the 1st 5 albums
great Song and a Fucking Nice Album 💿🔥
The way he screams "time"... so majestic.
This is an amazing fucking song of their new album, enjoy motherfucker. 😈😈😈😈😎😎
Goth metal is not dead
