Cradle Of Filth - Devil To The Metal Lyrics






Polluting the honesty of Christ with poisoned wine
Laced with lines from the end of time
From the herald and the bugler

High voltage bolts the cellar door
Switch thrown at midnight's peak
To start the heart of a scarlet whore
Gauged infernally

A poetess in night's profane station
Threading lies like silver seas
A seamstress for an amputee nation
Wedded to depravities

Devil to the metal

Diluting the authority of life with sewer brine
Laced with grime from the spiral of time
Wherein spins cruel order

The big hand strokes the Little Horn
Not thrown for charity
To win the sins of the decadent, born
To wage eternally

Passion rides the great unholy
Ipsissimus of love's despair
Her ashen grin would shine, if only
Death would not sit smiling there
Her beauty freezes reason
Like Helen at the reins
Of the rampant horse Apocalypse
On the shore that it was made

Devil to the metal

She fucks at unknown angles
Bleeds her victims to the bone
And in their guts untangled
Casts her runic eyes of stone
She will violate the future
Annihilate the past
Paving way in butcher trades
The red brick road through mankind's arse

Abandon reason, life the veil
Darker seasons are released
Storm crows gather in black masses at the pane

Go to sleep beyond the pale
She is set to murder peace
Rome, Jerusalem and Mecca are aflame

'Under pregnant skies I come alive like Miss Leviathan
Dripping with the ripples of concern
All of heaven's eyes are fixed, as only my desire can
Tear them from the stars I start to burn'

    God damn, that bridge on 0:40 is sick as fuck

    With this song I met the band 8 years ago. I remember that I began to like very much to be one of my favorites. After passing the years I stopped listening to cradle of filth and my tastes are currently more focused on Folk / Viking. And reviewing the videos that I like on YouTube I found stars pleasant memories. Very good cradle of filth. Dani filth at the time was my platonic love

    Favorite band for 15 years. To bad the real band has been dead for a decade. 30+ band members 🤘😔🤘

  8. H.... T....

    Kinda feel bad for the antichrist, all he wanted was to be free not entrapment

  9. J.... H....

    I miss Cradle of Filth. They've been dead for a decade. 30+ different band members. Dani = ego maniac

    J.... H....

    @Justin H 2018 cradle is better than 2008 cradle and it's not even close.

    J.... H....

    @Hypnotic Dirge Records 2008 Cradle but not real Cradle. OVER THIRTY DIFFERENT BAND MEMBERS!! Please give up dude

    J.... H....

    @Justin H It's a band with an over 25 year history, they're clearly not going to sound as good as they did during their "classic" stage. I'm not sure why that's such a surprise. My point is that in 2018, they sound better than at any time since 2000. If you can't even be bothered to listen to their last two albums, that's entirely your loss.

    And Cradle has always had a lot of lineup turnover. Doesn't mean that their current lineup are not talented good writers. Getting new guitar players after Paul's stale riffs and him insisting on being a 1 guitar player band is the best thing that's happened for Cradle's quality in a long time.

    J.... H....

    @Hypnotic Dirge Records their not Cradle of Filth.dani is the only original for over a decade... Convocation over

    J.... H....

    @Justin H Goddamn you're ignorant.
    Dani was the only original member left 10 years ago too. And I don't count Paul since he left for 5 years or so.

  10. M.... ....

    Underrated.

  11. J.... H....

    Original Cradle of Filth was amazing. My favorite band ever. Sense 2009ish they've been HORRIBLE

    J.... H....

    what do you mean horrible!? they been better as ever.
    is it because of the genre change? or there not edgy like back then or you don't appreciate dani's work of poetry and shakespearean which are the same since thealbum midian back in the late 90's.

    if they did the same style again and again then they will be generic like most bands. unlike dani he is irreplaceable even it's a different genre still the same quality.

    J.... H....

    @MidianAMVs hahahah u must be a kid so I won't talk shit. Modern day they're horrible. 30 different band members. Compare a newer version of CD to Midian. They SUCK now

  12. K.... H....

  36. U.... ....

    Best part 1:48

  37. j.... ....

    Its art. Beautiful.

  38. P.... F....

    I wonder why the coments of this type of music are based in religion '-' I'm catholic, I love Jesus, and I fucking love this music. \m/

  39. T.... ....

    Well, I think we need to consider where these 'ghosts' or spiritual beings came from- the bible has a lot to say about spirits and such. And I understand you want to get on with your life, but life demands answers and explanations.. and the bible has a lot of them. I'd encourage you man, to really think about the good things Jesus did for people- they weren't just documented as charity works- but miraculous ones. Think about who He claimed to be as well, He makes statements claiming to be God...

  40. S.... M....

    Well it all i can believe the rest is just rubbish to me. The son of god the coming back from the grave no none of that, I think people just wanted to believe that sorry to say, Its all just a story to me and nothing more, But if its more to you buddy will don,t let me stop you. An remember its my thoughts don,t be hurt by it ok :) peace to you

  41. S.... M....

    An a bit more about the realms im open minded to alot of things, Such as ghost or bad ghost or things of the un none i think about them kind of things. But like many people i rather just get on with my life an be free from religion and anything that holds me or people down. I cant see why people just can.t believe in themselves but you no its everyone's right to live how they want. An there my of been a man named Jesus an yh maybe he did do good things for people back then that's all i believe

  42. T.... ....

    Here are 2 reasons why: 1. I believe that many people who listen to satanic/dark music have been extremely let down or hurt in the past- possibly by someone who called themselves a Christian. They need to know that Jesus loves them, and didn't desire that to happen. 2. I believe that music can possibly be a means to a spiritual experience- and that many people are interacting with a very dark realm without knowing it- placing themselves in bondage- and need to know Jesus can set them free. :-)

    T.... ....

    You realize that there isn't a single scrap of contemporary evidence for the existence of Jesus... right?

    T.... ....

    Piss off.

  43. S.... M....

    Hmmm fair enough i can respect your beliefs. I don.t believe them but i respect them. But i cant see why you post it on band pages, An your not out line you don.t post crap like some twats do, Put i can.t understand why you feel there is less love, An why you most post stuff like Jesus loves us on a metal bands page. Help me understand man why you do it

  44. T.... ....

    And I hear you man, but I think something to think about is that just b/c something is done in the name of Jesus doesn't mean it's what He actually taught. Jesus teachings, atleast the ones recorded in the bible, taught people to love their enemies and to do good to everyone.

  45. T.... ....

    I put it on this page b/c people are immersing themselves in dark things, and Jesus wants to bring them into the light. And yes, there is love from Jesus- John 3:16- God demonstrates His own love for us by sending His son to die for our sins. His love is displayed by His death on the cross.Yes, we have an innate desire for the love of those around us, but I would say that we have an innate desire to experience the love of God himself... and it's available if we would turn to Jesus.

  46. S.... M....

    I get your point but try to see my mine yh

  47. S.... M....

    Now that I can respect but whats with Jesus loves you thing man. An why put it on a band music page no one will take you to heart mate. But the love yh i get that loved by family and friends yh and those around you. But Jesus there is no love coming from him man open your eyes man, Where is the love from him there is none. Try to enjoy the love by those around you like your family and friends you no. Not someone who a man or woman talks about and who have killed in the name off many times over

  48. T.... ....

    We all desire to be loved man- no matter who we are. We all desire the unconditional love that was demonstrated on the cross; a love that seeks to love us past our faults, failures, and shortcomings. Thankfully this love is made available to be experienced and embraced, to all who will turn.

  49. S.... M....

    Dude that is just a really gay thing to say lmao :). I like to think your just taking the piss because if you mean that lmao. Well lets just say that makes you a sheep :) haha
