Cradle Of Filth - Mother Of Abominations Lyrics






[chant:]
"Ia, ia, Cthulhu fhtagn."
[From the Cthulhu Mythos by author H.P. Lovecraft]

Mother of abominations
Our Lady Overkill
Smothering the congregation
Grips the cosmic wheel
A lover of acceleration
No mercy or brakes applied
I see dead stars collide
In her cold unflinching powerslide

Comets tear the skies
Gushing from a shattered silence
Never so alive
Like the rush of cum on nymphetamines
Minds desanitized
Nightchords rung on a ladder of violence
Darkness fantasised
Sleek and polished black

Instrumental in stripping Gods
To neuter and mute their staves
Thereafter
Her laughter
Shalt sound aloft their future graves

Heavens above
Fear the Gorgon eyes of a new moon rising
Except no love
When she enters your golden halls
Millennial the whore
Riding wide astride the horns of madness
Clarions forth the war
Spilling the wine of her fornication
Perennial the gore
Filling the lines between split nations
Seeping under doors
In time tides force a wider crack

Mother of abominations
Our Lady Overkill
Smothering the congregation
Licks the royal milk

The scourge hangs at her girdle
Death slathers near her heel
Seeking blood to curdle
When the gathered clouds reveal
Her roared abortive labour
Thighs slick with molten steel
Dripping into sabres
For Vulcan spawn to wield

Instrumental in stripping Gods
To neuter and lash her slaves
Thereafter
Her laughter
Shalt sound aloft the crashing waves

Heaven's above
Fear the gorgon eyes of a new caste rising
Expect no love
When they enter your golden halls
On sanguine floods
Hear the foregone cries of the last surviving
Skewered like doves
Outside the wailing walls Mother of abominations
Our Lady Overkill
Smothering the congregation
Grips the cosmic wheel
A lover of acceleration
No mercy or brakes applied
I see dead stars collide
In her cold unflinching powerslide

Comets tear the skies
Gushing from a shattered silence
Never so alive
Like the rush of cum on nymphetamines
Minds desanitized
Nightchords rung on a ladder of violence
Darkness fantasised
Sleek and polished black

Instrumental in stripping Gods
To neuter and mute their staves
Thereafter
Her laughter
Shalt sound aloft their future graves

Heavens above
Fear the Gorgon eyes of a new moon rising
Except no love
When she enters your golden halls
Millennial the whore
Riding wide astride the horns of madness
Clarions forth the war
Spilling the wine of her fornication
Perennial the gore
Filling the lines between split nations
Seeping under doors
In time tides force a wider crack

Mother of abominations
Our Lady Overkill
Smothering the congregation
Licks the royal milk

The scourge hangs at her girdle
Death slathers near her heel
Seeking blood to curdle
When the gathered clouds reveal
Her roared abortive labour
Thighs slick with molten steel
Dripping into sabres
For Vulcan spawn to wield

Instrumental in stripping Gods
To neuter and lash her slaves
Thereafter
Her laughter
Shalt sound aloft the crashing waves

Heaven's above
Fear the gorgon eyes of a new caste rising
Expect no love
When they enter your golden halls
On sanguine floods
Hear the foregone cries of the last surviving
Skewered like doves
Outside the wailing walls

    Evil is alive and suffering ensues in the world but in the ultimatum, God/love/oneness prevails. Those who cannot see this are unfortunate. But I love you all no matter what side you choose. My heart will not fear or despair over the pains of the flesh. Satanism, which is clearly peddled through COF music, is a trap, fellow man and woman. It glitters with eerie glamor, these dark crafts, but it's all a lie, a dream, an illusion. It's not the real truth and master. As for me, I am wedded to the benevolent and merciful Lord of all Creation, within the sanctuary of the heart and the seat of the soul. I am not Christian, Jew, Hindu, Muslim, etc. I'm a believer in one Supreme Being Sovereign and who's will, way, and law is love. I believe in love and the fulfillment of truth and true liberation through rebirth through receiving the light energy that pervades eternally from the Creator. I pray for a life and humanity of love, forgiveness, peace, and hope. I used to be a satanist. I am of God and benevolence but mistake me not for how much I know of the dark and all of its many rings and manifestations. I know of hexes and all things demonic. I found only slavery and lies and emptiness. Folks, it's all a big lie. Believe me, you will see it so much clearer when you learn of living in Light. I promise it's WAYYYY light years better than the dark. I have found true power in being a servant of God the Highest in Heaven, a lovegiver and peacemaker. I hope you all will give love a chance, to see for yourselves how it feels in your hearts when true and pure ecstasy rises within. And awareness. Be light. Even as a light being I fall back into listening to music like this sometimes especially when my mental illness turns on high. I am still called by Satan, still tempted, and although I sometimes fall and listen with pleasure to these sounds and verses of horror, my wits and Gods Spirit in me always lead me back to truth. I've learned a lot about knowing both the dark and the light, but being OF the light. I pray the same for you all. I'm not here to tell you all you're damned and wrong or hated. I'm here to show what love is, what goodness looks like. Peace to you all and liberation for all souls

    adam kovatch no you just have to open minded

    A.... 8....

    look... I'm sure your a nice guy and all but why do you preach this to people who clearly have different views on life? Most of us are aware about the terrible things christianity has done to people in the past who have different beliefs, like public humiliation, being burnt alive, horrendous torture etc. and yes there is proof of this. But i'm sure your too blind to see this. So would you please go somewhere else and preach god's "love" to people who want to hear it, you know... like "easy prey". Thank you.

    A.... 8....

    Amen brother

    A.... 8....

    Free speech is everyones right
    My speech to your narrow mindedness is.......F You

    Instrumental at stripping gods

  16. O.... D....

    the synth part at 2:37 and around 4 minutes in sounds very similar to The Forest Whispers My Name.

  17. J.... ....

    Watch DAGON movie and then you know what: IA IA CTHULTHU FORTAGEN means ;)

    J.... ....

    Dagon, a film that has absolutely nothing to do with the H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name. In any event, much better to just read Shadow Over Innsmouth or Call of Cthulhu than watch that movie. Lovecraft's stories don't translate well to film imo.

    Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn means In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.
    Just FYI. :)
    So Cthulhu fhtagn is about Cthulhu waits, or Cthulhu dreams, who knows which one.

    J.... ....

    Or read Lovecraft's book? It's explained perfectly in "The Call of Cthulhu".
    Cthulhu fhtagn means "Cthulhu dreams" or "Cthulhu waits", and it's a rough way to spell it from The Elder One's tongue.
