Cradle Of Filth Demagoguery
[Intro]
Demagoguery
The hissing in the garden
Wishing God's defeat
[Verse 1]
Stalking the parameters of waiting prey
We come like the break of day
A litany of death about to play
Its fatal hand here
Clawed to the hilt, sordid
Best beware
Our swords will fill the air
With a morbid poetry born of despair
Under the rule
[Pre-Chorus]
Black trees scratch red the fleeing sunset
Mist clings tight to Elysian fields
Now we hatch plans ripe for upset
Enflame belfries
Time to be revealed
[Chorus]
Diabology
No apology for a world upon her broken knees
Diabology
Spreading the disease
Demons freed to spree and torture
By decree of our demagoguery
[Verse 2]
Nightmare-fueled
Bejeweled in scars
Beneath the frozen stars
Children of the dark, of the craft we are
Deliciously grotesque
Severe puzzle boxes bursting to be solved
Not by any church absolved
Firebrands thirsting to be involved
In their ascent
[Pre-Chorus]
Thick thorns adorn a twisted halo
For the fools and cruelly vain
As cathedrals soar, our sisters lay low
For the war-cry to roar back again
[Chorus]
Diabology
No apology for a world upon her broken knees
Diabology
Spreading the disease
Demons freed to spree and torture
By decree of our demagoguery
[Interlude]
What started as a whisper
In the shadows of the night
Has sharpened to a painful blister
On the weathered heel of life
And now our voices like a knife
Carve out our vicious plan
And set our hooks in the hearts of man
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
The moon writhes in her orbit
And doused in blood
She stirs the tides to rise
And deep inside her womb, her daughters purr
Tonight the skies are spiteful
The gates are wearing thin
And through accruing torments shod
Our hated reign begins again
[Verse 3]
Poisonous, these words of power uttered back
Engage the fatal mechanism, and with that
This virus inside us desires to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
Devotees whipped into a frenzy
Of intoxication in celebration of sin
Enchantment answers and dancers envy
Puppet masters faster pulling the strings
[Chorus]
Diabology
No apology for a world upon her broken knees
Diabology
Spreading the disease
Demons freed to spree and torture
By decree of our demagoguery
