Cradle Of Filth

[O'NEAL]

Cthulhu Dawn


spatter the stars
douse their luminosity
with our amniotic retch
promulgating the birth
of another hell on earth
shadows gather poisoned henna for the flesh
a necrotic cattle brand
the hissing downfall pentagram
carven deep upon the church doors of the damned
but no passover is planned
a great renewal growls at hand
and only when they're running
will they come to understand...

so ends the pitiful reign of man

when the moon exhales
behind a veil
of widowhood and clouds
on a biblical scale
we raise the stakes
to silhouette the impaled
crowds...

within this kissed disembowel arena
a broken seal on an ancient curse
unleashes beasts from the seismic breach
with lightning reach and genocidal thirst
mountains of theories
in collision as at planetary dawn
apocalypse's razorbacks
beat wings on glass as thunder ¤¤¤¤¤s
unfurled across a world hurled to the black

cthulhu dawn

shatter the glass house
wherein spirits breathe out
halitosis of the soul
from a recking abscess
plague of far righteousness
all fates hang in the balance
mocking crucified dolls
an inquisition outs
when the sun goes out our powers
will extend throughout heaven like asphodel
as they have for countless lustrum
in dark midian accustoned
to burning effigies of our enemies well

so begins the sibilant world death knell...

when a corpse wind howls
and awakes from drowse
the scheming dead freed
of gossamer shrouds
we gorgonise eyes
of the storm aroused
red...

blinding time
all lines dine on this instance
a melting spool of beggar negative frames
the skies teem alive to watch die
mankind hauled to fable in vast tenement graves...

Dawn Of Eternity

winter ice - terminal frost
closing eyes of the equinox
dimensional change - darkening skies
the sphere is shackled till dusk

prophet dreams - ride the winds
as black holes open for devouring
universal chaos in the realm of time
surface of earth - covered in rime

from beyond enter the horror
of a dark and hideous nature
the fall of man is now at hand
awakened from an ancient slumber
the immortal ones return
the earth is theirs once again

stricken cursed - frozen damnation
man's fall to perpetual domination
time trapped in between changes
frigid return to the chamber of ages

Death Magic For Adepts

come distortured artists
bitter things seek meaning
even if they're madness to behold
once forbears to horizons
where the dead stayed dreaming
now nightmares waken souls

that fear the living's toll
gova bosch and brueghel
three times moonwise stain thy graves
for words alone are at loss to trace
the face of today's inhuman wraith

one half adrift in the vast abyss
of despair and misery
the other a mask of rich red lips
whetted by the fevers of belief and greed

all damned in this inferno
where even virgil averts his eyes
from the black mass mutual gang rape
of caesing hands an forced divides

trespass these seven gates
to a world bloodlet to shades
where seraphim
(falling on deaf ears) bleat
of their cold and coming master's race
in the seweres of babylon
stillborn to a trough anon
chimiracles will hatch like plots
to dredge faeces to pearl their cross

enter penteholocaust!
five aeons past yet still man grasps
at final straws to save his cast

his lord is a leper we shall not want
he betrayed us with white lies
his acrid pall as of the tomb
reminds us how we rot inside

gutted like fool's paradise
glutted on cruel appetites...

holding court to chaos
folding to far graver arms
a downfall fatal to all resounds
as orgies peak in self centred psalms

and nature screams her sufferings
under bowed and cankered wings
a bleak scorched earth necrotica burning
like the robes we've torn from her

she begs us lay her pain to rest
lest we are left with nothingness
save for her stripped and ravished flesh

and if her fate is not portent of apocalypse
then the comets that graxe nightskies
will surely cleanse of wrongs and reichs
when you and i and all else dies...

it's rotting down
this carcass maggotropolis

interdependent as worms to the grave
allah's true name is naught
chist acannot save
locked in a waltz of evermore frantic steps
spells of regret...
death magick for adepts

be prepared to fulfill prophecies
the glorious fall of a sin dynasty

gutted like fool's paradise
glutted on cruel appeitites...

"we've woven hearts a thorn arbour
left tear streaked reason upon the shore
and bereft of compass star or more
set out for this world's end
few at the prow most slave below
painting coal a perfect gold
but for all it's worth the engines slow
dead in the brine again
come cabin fever sodomy on the bounty
prey to phallus seas
that hiss and foam to douse disease
a storm roars on the way
blacker than the ace of rapes
dealt out by death in darkwood glades
our ship of fools all boards handmade
sinks dashed by seismic waves..."

Desire In Violent Overture

nights came tralling ghost concertos
heartstrings a score of skeletal reaper bows
playing torture chamber music allegretto
conducting over throes trashed to crescendo

skinless the dark shall scream
hoarse her symphonies

deathmashed as the moon
that had lifted her dreams
and frowned on the winding steps down
to where the vulgar strayed
taunting sick her tender prey
she glided in her bridal gown

how sleep the pure
desire in violent overture

an emanation of phantom madness
the countess beheld in shroud
by girls bereft of future vows
soon to wed in white the frosted ground
burning like a brand on the countenance of god
a yearning took her hand to his seraphim bound

deep red hissed the cat whips
on the whim of ill will
whilst she entranced nonchalant abliss
flayed further songs of overkill

how weep the pure
desire in violent overture

in a crescent whime cellar of crushed roses
pooled blood and broken dolls
a torchlit shadow theatre souled
with the echoed cries of lives she stole

killing time
she struck the hours dead
in her control
thus menopaused
her clock of hacked out cunts
began to toll

thirteen chimes of ancient strain
i conjure forth with dirge
that fills the void with timbred pain
to fulfil my ¤¤¤ual urge

frights came wailing from the darkside
haunting lipless mouths a fugue of arcane diatribes
velvet their voices coffined her in slumber
bespattered and appeased
as pregnant skies outside bore thunder

how sleep the pure
desire in violent overture

as when high winds
attune whipped trees
her savage nature pitched
would once again conduct the pleas
of those she loved to agonies

as if it were
the first time every night
that she carved her seal
in the flesh of life.

A Dream Of Wolves In The Snow

"ah listen to them
the children of the night
what sweet music they make."

may dreams be brought that i might reach...
the gentle strains of midnight speech
and frozen stars that gild the forest floor

through the swirling snow
volkh's children come
to run with me to hunt as one
to snatch the lambs of christ
from where they fall...

[O'NEAL]

Dusk And Her Embrace

when the sun has wept upon the waveless lake
and the mists steal in with ease
covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes
in adoration of the moon and thee

"they call as i to thee...."

and i will come as if in dream
my languid dark and lustrous malaresian queen
of vengeful ancient breed
gilded with the pelts of many enemies
erishkigal raven-haired
thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
i can taste thy scent by candlelight
legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair
appease the beast on spattered sheets
dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps

nocternity....
she shall come for me

a black velvet painting sprung to elegant life
like a poignant madonna perverted to night
and i have ridden from the westerning light
to expend my lust
tear away the funereal dress
know that i will escape from my death
surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress

lo! the pale moonlight
weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline
of mist and moth and the hunger inside
kisses took to fever and the fever demise

"through twilight darkness and moonrise
my scarlet tears will run
as stolen blood and whispered love
of fantasies undone"

countess swathed in ebony
and snow-white balletic grace
rouge-filmed lips procure the wish
for lust and her disgrace

dusk and her embrace

we shall flit through the shadows
like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow
under deadly nightshade
still warmed with the kill's afterglow

beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me
(beneath the stars taste the death in me)
bequeath to me thy fiery kiss
to sever thin mortality

elizabeth
my heart is thine
thy fragrant words
warm within like wine....

"let me come to thee"
with eyes like asphodel
moon-glancing loose desires free
to writhe under my spell"

ereshkigal raven-haired
thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
i know thy scent by candlelight
immortal flesh i yearn to share
appease the beast on spattered sheets
dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
nocternity
she shall come for me....

unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus
how the ¤¤¤¤ embosomed fog
imparts the night to us....

Ebony Dressed For Sunset

"the life of all flesh is the blood" - leviticus 17:14

"those who trespass against us beware the shadows of dusk"

unshadow thyselves children
the reign in flesh begins again...

v empire
funereal majesty awake
cneajna wreathed in snake
draconis talons rake...

so haunted is my silent heart
dreaming only of the moon
when velvet darkness falls tonight
the thirst crescends anew...

only for you

inspired to mortal nightmare
ebony dressed for sunset
in the dulcet whispers of the damned...

[O'NEAL]

The Forest Whispers My Name

black candles dance to an overture
but i am drawn past their flickering lure
to the breathing forest that surrounds the room
where the vigilant trees push out of the womb

i sip the blood-red wine
my thoughts weigh heavy with the burden of time
from knowledge drunk from the fountain of life
from chaos born out of love and the scythe
the forest beckons with her nocturnal call
to pull me close amid the baying of wolves
where the bindings of christ are down-trodden with scorn
in the dark odiferous earth

we embrace like two lovers at death
a monument to the trapping of breath
as restriction is bled from the veins of my neck
to drop roses on my marbled breast
i lust for the wind and the flurry of leaves
and the perfume of flesh on the murderous breeze
to learn from the dark and the voices between

this is my will...

the forest whispers my name...again and again

i walk the path
to the land of the dark immortals
where the hungry ones will carry my soul
as the wild hunt careers through the boughs

come to me my pale enchantress
in the moon of the woods we kiss

artemis be near me
in the arms of the ancient oak
where daylight hangs by a lunar noose
and the horned hidden one is re-invoked

the principle of evil
evolution has been recalled
beneath the spread of a magickal aeon
i stand enthralled
...in the whispering forest

pale beyond porch and portal
crowned with leaves she stands
who gathers all things mortal
with cold immortal hands
her languid lips are sweeter
than love's who fears to greet her
to men that mix and meet her
from many times and lands.

From The Cradle To Enslave

two thousand fattened years like maniacs
have despoiled our common grave
now what necrophagous second coming backs
from the cradle to enslave?
sickle constellations
stud the velts that welt the sku
whilst the bitter winter moon
prowls the clouds deadeyed
like shifting parent flesh
under silk matricide...

watchful as she was upon eden
where every rose arbour and orchard she swept
hid the hissing of a serpent libido
in an ancient tryst with catastrophe
soon to be kept

hear that hissing now on the breeze
as through the plundered groves of the carnal garden
a fres horror blows
but ten billion souls
are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees

this is the theme to a better armageddon
nightchords rake the heavens
pandaemonaeon

and what use are prayers to that ´god´?
as devils bay concenus for the space to piss
on your smouldering faith
and the the mouldering face
of this world long a paradise lost

this is the end of everything
hear the growing chora that a new dawn shall bring

dance macabre ´neath the tilt of the zodiac
now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
what sick activities will be freed when those lights burn black?
the darkside of the mirror always threw our malice back...

i see the serpentine in your eyes
the nature of the beast as revelations arrive

our screams shall trail to angels
for those damned in flames repay
all sinners lose their lot on judgement day
we should have cut our losses as at calvary
but our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief
salvation like a promised nation
gleamed a claim away...

this is the end of everything you have ever known
buried like vanquished reason
death in season
driven like the drifting snow

peace a fragile lover left us fantasising war
on our knees or another fucker´s shore
heiling new flesh
read then roared
to a crooked cross and a holy cause
what else be whipped to frenzy for?

this is the end of everything
rear the tragedies
that the seraphim shall sing

old adversaries
next of eve
now they´re clawing back
i smell their cumming
as through webbed panes of meat
led by hoary death
they never left
dreaming sodomies
to impress on human failure
when we´ve bled upon our knees

tablatures of gravel law
shall see gehennag paved
when empires fall
and nightmares crawl
from the cradle to enslave...

this is the end of everything

Funeral In Carpathia

candelabra snuffed prey silhouette wedded
nightfall take my hand
seduce me with silky timbred limbs
grant me thy dark command
over the peaks framing tapestries
of thick forest dusk has filled
with lucifugous kisses enwreathed in mist
creeping like violations from the shadows
to kill

lucretia
is my love in vein
when thy tears bleed sweeter
than the midsummer rain?
bewinged infested belfries
toll o'er the sobbing throng
a writhe of lethargic terrored nudes
whipped and welted 'neath the barbed windsong...

(in sadean paradise
ancestral legacies linger on...)

i am he
the crowned and conquering darkness
satan robed in ecumenical filth
livid bacchus sustained by bridal echelons of sylph

this wintry eve when the snow glistens deep
and sharpened turrets wed the jewelless skies
i shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep
embroided by these words malaresia scribed...

"beauty slept and angels wept
for her immortal soul
in this repose all evil chose
to claim her for their very own"

carpathia
the pleasured dead speak of her
in necromantic tongue
when ambered daylights are done
masturbating in their graves
on her zenith to come...

never leave me

this catafalque night when awed stars report
their absence from the heavenly brow
grippled seraph shalt cower in illustrious courts
whilst the cloaked maelstrom resounds throughout

"how the storm it fulfills
my heart though unhealed
celestial knives ebonied
and wild woods thrill
yet far fiercer still
her lustre eviscerates me"

carpathia
priapic lovers twist in concert with her
covenants are struck jagged lightning fellates
the path towards the castle weary innocence takes

i rule as master here
where feral hordes impart my temper
love sank wounded when i betrayed
saw death etch cruelly upon my lineage

"usher the spite seething draconist
and commit this world to thy ancient sovereignty"

this wintry eve when the snow glistens deep
and sharpened turrets wed the jewelless skies
i shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep
embroided by these words malaresia scribed...

"beauty slept and angels wept
for her immortal soul
in this repose all evil chose
to claim her for their very own"

candelabra snuffed prey - silhouette wedded
nightfall take my hand
seduce me with silky timbred limbs
grant me thy dark command
over the peaks framing tapestries
of thick forest dusk has filled
with lucifugous kisses enwreathed in mist
creeping like violations from the shadows

to kill.
