Cradle Of Filth - The Nun With The Astrail Habit Lyrics






The world was her cloister, the abbess Duboir
In the convent at All Hallows fair
A pearl in an oyster she shone like a star
Augmenting her sisterhoods prayers
Her singing touched Angels and melted their hearts
her choirs inspired the search
For the lost holy grail, the Benedict arts
And the best of the Catholic Church

But if one thing
One precious little thing
Would darken this facade
There would be such consequences

Like the night Sister Victoria
Stepped in from the freezing cold
No candles would light at Evening Mass

The days passed by without a sigh
But dusk came thick with dread
Intangible, the air was full

Of wanderlust and approaching bloodshed

In truth, the Abbess with her pious whims
Enjoyed the new girl's pain
Proof to the rest tat the briars of sin
Entangled all the world in Satan's name

Victoria Varco, once heiress
To a proud noble estate
Fell pregnant by her recklessness
Who then fell foul to a violent fate
Such was here cime in expedient times
And the shame of besmirching her name
Her child was burnt, she was dragged to these walls
For a life in obedient chains

But not one thing
One precious little thing
Would darken this facade

Like the night Sister Victoria
Woke screaming in her room
She spent a week spiralling from heaven

And as the seasons wheezed and pained
Her dream grew more perverse
For no good reasons she would to find
An alluring woman naked save for jewels and verse

When here eyelids close, on a moonlit shore
This intoxicating beauty would appear
The sweetest symphony composed
Those abating lips rose
Tho whisper dirty secrets in her ear

Clandestine secrets

A dream within a dream
She finds hereself this nymph
Abreast a desert dune
And below the crescent moon
Atop a darksome stranger

Ah, the spurting of his seed inside here
Triggers paradise
She rides the beast until the heavens trembled

Forcing eclipse, her lover licks her blood
That drips upon the sand
And almost out of hand
Coarse plots assemble

For somewhere in the convent walls
A templar treasure rests
Forgotten to the vestibules
Like pleasures of the flesh

So, in return for nightly runs
Past tongues and wisdom's hiss
She promised to assist the hunt
for an ancient golden chain amiss

    The world was her cloister, the abbess Duboir

  2. �.... �....

    Nuns have no fun!!!King Diamond!!!

  3. F.... 1....

    i stopped at Midian...the best thing i did

  4. c.... ....

    This Music saved my mood in hospital before the brain operation comes

  5. A.... ....

    my only ONLY complain....is the fuckn computerised image cover. gimme photography any time (like Cruelty, V Empire, Principle ...). in all ..this album rocks :D

  6. k.... ....

    @ganon167 Yeah, but can't there be at least one Cradle of Filth video (or any metal video in that matter) where someone doesn't have to mention that poser's name?

  7. k.... ....

    @ganon167 Cradle has been successful for over 20 years worldwide. Justin has been successful for a year in a country called Canada (and the only ones who actually listen to his music are pre-teen "girls"). Even MJ was more successful than Beiber. Get the picture?

  8. J.... G....

    @jalilsaab Exactly :) much respect, my friend.

  9. j.... s....

    @TormentedYoung I have been listening to cradle of filth since i was ten and i still love their music! I can recite nearly every word from every song. Dani is a genius a kin of my heart.

  10. R.... ....

    The problem is: if they evolve their sound, they'll be crucified for it, as they are being now. But if they kept making Midians, Cruelties and Dusks, they'd be crucified for it too. People would say, "Cradle is just making the same stuff over and over! we want variety!" so Cradle is never gonna win. I, for one, love DDVA.

  11. R.... ....

    Don't get me wrong, I love Cradle as much as the next guy, but they could so improve by having more breakdowns, as opposed to being heavy all the way through every song. I reckon that's why old Cradle fans hated Thornography, whereas it's my favourite album.

  12. r.... b....

    whats this song abot o_O

  13. A.... ....

    Actually the first album that really returns to their roots! I stopped listening to them back in 2006 when thornography was released which is without doubt the DOWNPOINT of their career but this is really enjoyable i'm thinking about buying it...

  14. m.... ....

    astral Habit? dude these guys KNOW what they are talking about!

    look up: ASTRAL PROJECTION!

  15. b.... o....

    sublime

  16. t.... t....

    all u cradle haters out there Dani Filth gives absoluteyl no fuck what u all think they will still do whatever the hell they want why dnt u go listen to justin crap bieber u dicks

  17. J.... G....

    @teatime801 Thank you... it's so rare on here that I'll run into another hardcore Cradle fan who actually agrees that all of their music is amazing. There's always some war going on between "new and old" ... All of Cradle of Filth's music is nothing short of ORGASMIC in my opinion. Filth is a fucking genius. It's all different and the art continues to grow and evolve, just as it should.

  18. M.... C....

    very bad album

  19. N.... M....

    What is wrong with people? "This sound like Midian to me" - if you want to hear something like Midian then listen to Midian!!?? This is just some new stuff, like it or not, this is not Midian.. And what fun is it if the new sounds like the old? ...

    But i don't like this shit..

  20. k.... ....

    this album sucks

  21. M.... ....

    Damnation and a day, Midian, Lovecraft and Witchhearts and now this :)

  22. b.... ....

    Hoping it's HALF as good as Damnation And A Day, which is my favorite. What I've heard of this album positively slaughterizes though.

  23. D.... B....

    Jizz in ma pants lol such a great album

  24. h.... ....

    lets just all agree this is a fucking badass album cradle has released and not call it a 'return' or a fucking 'welcome back' <.<

  25. m.... ....

    Love it! Cradle Of Filth such a uniquely dark style of music.

  26. s.... ....

    yeah it has some sparks of old Cradle, but in general, this album is boring (after first listen I was like exhausted, almost fell asleep, which was not the case with old Cradle), sounds nothing like an concept album, songs are predictable (except maybe "Spawn of Love and War" which is the best song here imo), keys are way too synthetic and Dani's vocals got even worse than on Thornography...
