The Spawn Of Love And War
Cradle Of Filth

Poets racking absinthed brains

Could never fully paint these nights

No martyr parting from his pain

Could utter words so erudite

As those she now divulged to me

In throes of passions grip

Indulging latent fantasies

That ran forked tongues along the lip


Of fate's pudenda

The twisted snake's agenda

Now the world would bend

To her deadly legacy


Life's graveyard was waiting, such dizzying flight

From the convent at All Hallows Fair

Without contemplating, we fled through the night

Too blood-drunk and c***-sated to care


The Goddess had spoken

And woken desire

It crackled in the air around us

A psychic force shimmering like fire


And on her breasts. That old necklace

The one I snuck from the fucked Abbess

Whose dirty little secret, other than me

Now shone with bold intensity


Vast the power it possessed

The darkness Brought to living flesh


This treasure was ancient, taken by force

From an elite caste of priests in Delphi

The Templars were patient, they stayed out the course

Then fleeced their Greek hosts in their sleep


That neeklace traversed

Vile murders and miles worse

But what was a curse

To this perverse demoness?


Legend swore it was a gift of malice

For the maiden Harmonia

The illegitimate spawn of love arid war

Jealousy made it gleam for her

For with it clasped, her looking glass

Was ever beautiful and young

But disaster choked her royal caste

And every throat on which it hung

There madness, death and horror clung


Immortalised in mortal guise

She was a sight for blighted eyes

A plague to gladly plagiarise

And spread like red excited kisses


She was more than me

More than wards

Could fulfil in the parlance of the angels

She cast a spell on every cell

Ln my nobody

She gave me back my tongue

That she might run it on herself


She was Lilith. She was light

I was but a parasite

Beckoned to temptation

Ln her velvet overtones

Through frozen antics, dressed in white

She led me into paradise

Neath comets in ovation

Like the Queen of winter, throned...


Pleasures archetypal

Then much rarer agonies

I was a sworn disciple

Of her whims and dark decrees


In Europe's hair

Her spies were everywhere

A sylph amongst the filthy rich and debonair

Her greater plan

All chaos and the all of man

For as she fed dark appetites

She bred her children there


The spawn of love and war


Presiding over Hellfire clubs

Arch-masons and Agharta


The spawn of love and war


She rode the beast. Her legs apart

A blazing pyre starter


Life's playground ealted, such dizzying sights

And sensations ignited her grin

As slaves celebrated her Satanic rites

We climbed up to heaven in sin


She came to me

As she will come to You

Intoxicating in her seduction

Her siren sway. Devestating voodoo


Persistent, resistance is useless, fool

To this Goddess, in lust she's cruel


Beyond any measure, her pleasures will found

A perverted Eden on sacred ground


Vast the power I caressed

The darkness brought to vivid flesh

And in it she now rules a cowered universe
