Cradle Of Filth - Mannequin Lyrics






Burning flesh,
Dripping sweat,
Using them all,
like the paralyzing snake,
Charmed and enchanted by the babylon whore.

Led to other worlds
By the girls she curled within
I took their skins to see Her
Be my mannequin

Be my mannequin

I cannot remember
How it was that we first met
Curve of moon and haunted shore
The stars were not those Heaven sent

Did we come together
At masked palatial Balls
In silks and flesh and leather
Or did we come at all?
I dreamt a midnight castle
The eerie song of wolves
And eyes that danced with fire
As they have forever more

Our rites of sin
Have long fathered a hymn
To burden Him
Whom by slip of after whim
At genesis
Dressed Her like the wind
In Autumn gowns
That pinned Her down
To be my mannequin

Be my mannequin

Always poised on winter
But never would She break
My lovecraft and black witch heart
That pounded in Her wake

We kissed on distant balconies
A law unto Her own
Thirteenth dark commandment
Of figures pressed to stone
Turning cream with fantasies
That God alone would know
We graced vomitorium
With the sweet excess of Rome

Flagrant in the past
Our names were deeply carved
On the tree of life in long dead languages

Led to other worlds
By the girls she curled within
I took their skins to see Her
Be my mannequin

Be my mannequin

I tongued the nuns at Louviers
But not one word possessed
Her divine right, an archetype
For mortal Goddesses...

    The Cradle Of Filth are, in my opinion, the best Extreme Metal band in the world. And I will not allow anyone to object to me! I really like them, yes. For all that they represent in extreme world music, in my humble opinion, they are the best. Although there are many changes of formation throughout his artistic career, Dani Filth is the main composer, and his poems are of an unusual intelligence. He is a genius of poetry for extreme music! Still in my humble opinion, the best album of the band is the album of 2003, Damnation And A Day: From Genesis To Nemesis, where it is inspired by the book Paradise Lost, Ascension and fall of Man and Woman and also the cherub Lucifer. Fortunately, I have three copies of this magnificent work!

    É um bom álbum de black/death metal sinfônico conceptual, este Damnation And A Day. E gosto muito de todas as suas músicas.

    H.... R....

    foi o ultimo album do cof q eu realmente gostei depois a banda virou uma especie de gothic metal

    H.... R....

    Sol Strife realmente tem razão. Nada tenho contra o metal gothic, confesso que até adoro! Mas nos Cradle Of Filth estou habituado a álbuns conceptuais. Já tive quase todos os álbuns. Alguns ofereci porque era mais do mesmo. Só tem diferença nas poesias.Mas este tocou-me em especial porque foi o primeiro álbum do género que comprei. E foi depois de ler uma entrevista deles na revista LOUD! Foram capa da revista desse mês, Março de 2003, o disco foi álbum do mês também com óptimas críticas. E o visual deles... Simplesmente divinal! Fascinaram-me desde aí. Depois fui comprando os álbuns anteriores desde o primeiro de 1994, não me lembro do título agora. Depois o Dusk... And Her Embrace de 1996, depois o Cruelty And The Beast, Midian de 2000, este de 2003, Nymphetamine de 2004, Thornography de 2006, não comprei o de 2008 mas comprei o Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa de 2010, Manticore And Other Horrors de 2012, e por último o de 2015, Hammer of the Witches... Este novo que sai este mês não vou comprar. Mas o Damnation And A Day fascinou-me de tal maneira, que preferi oferecer os outros e ficar com apenas com este.
    É conceptual. É metal extremo sinfônico, e aborda a ascensão e queda de Lúcifer no Paraíso, inspirado no famoso livro Paradise Lost. É simplesmente divinal. Um clássico da música extrema! Perdoe-me. Não sou um fã traiçoeiro! Mas o referido álbum tocou-me profundamente. Tanto que dispensei os outros, que também gostava muito, mas ... Que hei de escrever sobre esta minha loucura saudável? Gostos não se discutem!
