Cradle Of Filth - Unleash the Hellion Lyrics

I have basked like a phantom in shadow
Haunting gauntest opera eaves
As the cast was aware of nothing more in the air
Than the whisper of snow on the Autumnal breeze

As the ignorant waltzed
The ballad changed itʼs melody

Shunning the sun for infernal gloom
I felt joy in deep misery
But Fates found me out by the plight of the moon
Blazing a path that laughed at my own ill-ease

Drown despair with molten deeds
Fell the beast before it feeds
Master the sacred
Blast the horns that razed cities
Tell the grating world upon its knees
That I am free

This tethered Hellcat is unleashed
Unwinding, sore
Grinding to the core
This f*cking Hellion is unleashed

The feeling is back
Like a Pharaonic curse
The scent of fresh blood
To a ravenous thirst Lazarus risen
Brought back from the dead
Realisation, this seasoning dread
Adrift in the cosmos, naked and rife
We breed without reason
Gifted with fleeting life

Drown despair with molten deeds
Fell the beast before it feeds
Master the sacred
Blast the horns that felled cities
Tell the grating world upon its knees
That i am free

The gates of the mind splinter open wide
On rusted hinges, must infringes
Senses thrust to override
Explode upon reality I thought long-lost, i failed to see
The forest for the trees
My fire had fled and died...

I now behold a dawn adorned with majesty
To never dare embrace it would be a travesty
A seething Chaotopia, a bedlam time story
For If this is the end
I want my wretched scars to breathe
Now sinkholes spit me back, the shades

Retreat like scattered dogs
As the earth is ablaze with the
End Of Days I watch (the) palaces burn along with Gods

Portals of thought have delivered me
From the brink of a stinking abyss
Wherein the view was of pain and askew
With an apathy born of crisis

Existential, for our place in the spheres
Gleamed meaningless, i must confide
I suffered, a fool at the mercy of fear
For what good was living when dying inside?

Drown despair with molten deeds
Fell the beast before it feeds
Master the sacred
Blast the horns that felled cities
Tell the grating world upon its knees
That I am free

This tethered Hellcat is unleashed
Unwinding, sore
Grinding to the core
This f*cking Hellion is upon them
