Tortured Soul Asylam
Cradle Of Filth

Oh, sweet Midian, I burn for thee at heart

Don't despair me

Come bare me on wings of graveyard robbed leather

To where pleasure rings deep secrets in spurts after dark


Under full moons waxing lyrically

Death's poetry floods the soul

Like the freezing seed of a demon freed

To curse the stars with vertigo


And in their dance, in trance I've prised wide

Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs

Hymeneal gates to darker sides

A glimpse of plinths where Midian lies, Midian


Haunted by this portent

This obsession in my mind

With a city sunk below

Tall cedar groves and graves sublime


Sporting their importance

Marble wings spread to the skies

A vale of dreams that it would seem

The daylights race to leave behind


These visions struck like a furious fuck

Nailing wet lips to cold cemetery walls

Flashes of lust to dust, splashed across my psychic pall

As hybrid lovers reached their cusp with final thrusts I saw it all


Forbidden Midian, a long fabled Judecca

A sanctuary for sin, to rival Heaven

(None of Eden's tragic wreck)

Small mercies in vistas of dolmen and vault


Gaunt, haunched edifices, midst light fingered mists

From whence more awful shadows

Drew back rusted bolts and dared a threshold

The searing Sun had knelt to kiss


Shades of dusk, cruelty and myth

The Tribes of Christ will not forgive

And shall not suffer their kind to live


For I, mesmerized, started not from tombs

Or their waltz so sibilant, through the gathering gloom

But from flumes of the moon in bloom

Baring catch a face effaced and raped in the womb


In hidden Midian, a Vatican lying in state

For the sanctity of sin to rival Heaven tragic wreck

Small mercies in vistas where dolmen and vault

Caught twisted whispers where fisted sisters



Haunched, flaunted orifice

Midst lighter fingered mists

Whilst I watched without revolt

Carnalities few beasts permit


Between the dog and wolf

Bared fangs met in intercourse

A nightly rite of teeth and cunt

For those below who rose to hunt


Soar sights that preyed on me for days

And in laudanum's haze, I painted them all

The slew of sith and kin, I drew in blood, my veins in thrall

To Deathugees at peace within


Grotesques and wolves in womens skins

The raven winged and missing limbed

Suicides and split thighed Seraphim

And marble stairs, stargazers dare, ascend like prayer


Under full moons waxing lyrically

Death's poetry floods the soul

Like the recking weed of a demon freed

To curse the star with vertigo


And in their dance, in trance I prise wide

Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs

Hymeneal gates to other sides

A labyrinth wherein Midian hides, Midian


I know I've seen, through the black backed mirrors in sanity

Lucent prides amassed in last retreat

Prurient souls but no more freaks

Than those leashing dreams at harm's length from me


And just like grim ascension prophecies

My revenge, carved deep, will be, a grisly plot that reads

Like my filthy white ward spattered with their screams

When my deviliverers come from fog for me, please come for me


Exhuming the moon, through the bars in my room

The sooner the bitter pills swallowed are through

(But no Genotypes, Aphrodite, Demonarchaetypes)

(No Cenobites rise to claim Me for you)


No, no, no, no, no

Don't leave here in this storm weathered cell, no, no, no no no

With prophets and losses and dead men from crosses

My fate is a preview of derelict hell, Midian
