Deceiving Eyes
Cradle Of Filth

On the night all mirrors fell silent

And the clocks struck accord with the rain

A storm swept in with such violence

The dead rose to complain

The stars were ill-crossed as the weather

Lost in it's bitumen cloak

The Angels were warring, slick with endeavour

Falling like tears through the thickening smoke


Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder

A flood of souls scream on the rolling thunder


Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder


She stirs from dreams barely three feet under


Victoria, I come to claim my prize

Stealing from the convent neath the wrath of seething skies

For though you greased the palm of Satan

With those moonlit silver thighs

I knew the beast took second place

When I looked into your eyes


Your deceiving eyes

Filled with lies

And missed good byes

And serpents hissing revelations


Your deceiving eyes

They tell enough

Of how I fell in love

With the goddess creeping deep inside you


And with the tumult up above him roaring

Isaac sought her shallow grave

As lightning bolted through the grim down-pouring rain

He struck the hallowed earth again


Having torn at the soil like a man insane

Не threw his fists at the poisonous cosmos

And from that pit of shame

He bore the coffin from her sorry lot

Neath trees whose eaves were knotted with rot

Through ornate chapel doors, unlocked

To splinter her sarcophagus

And gaze upon her face


Victoria...


Victoria, I come to claim my prize

Stealing from the convent neath the wrath of seething skies

For though you greased the palm of Satan

With those moonlit silver thighs

Making mockery of rosaries

His needs will never rival mine


I recall a summer's day

The sunlight bathed your penitential scars

As I sat and washed the blood away


Now your body stays

And the coldness of your lips

Eclipse

Like the first true kiss of winter


Pining for the dead

On the stone floor spread

She was shining through her winding shroud

A moon amid the mad, this son of Adam had

A gift for the pretty young nun

A necklace wrought of twining snakes

Two gold illicit tongues

He laid it at her throat

Where the rope had wrung

He was burning from the furnace

Of his roused desire


He wrested with temptation

To be or unfulfilled

She was undressed for ovation

Her sumptuous form, the storm revealed


And with his driven lust exploding

Her lashes brushed his cheeks

They flickered with life, her limbs enfolding

Purring, licking wicked teeth


Victoria, I come to claim my prize

Stealing from the convent neath the wrath of seething skies

For though you greased the palm of Satan

With those moonlit silver thighs

You have left him just for me

I see it in deceiving eyes


Those deceiving eyes

Filled with lies

And missed good byes

And serpents hissing revelations


Those deceiving eyes

They tell enough

Of how I fell in love

With the goddess re-arisen in you
