Evanescent like the scent of decay
I was fading from the race When in despair, my darkest days Ran amok and forged her face From the fairest of handmaidens to A slick perverted wraith Nymphetamine Heaving midst narcissus On a maledict blanket of stars She was all three wishes Sex, sex, sex A lover hung on her death row I was hooked on her disease Highly strung like Cupid's bow Whose arrows hungered meat And the blinding flare of passion In the shade of narrow streets Where their poison never rationed All the tips they left in me Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us like a bad crack Upward-lit, I'd met another kind Of rat In fact With every Rome inside me licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind In black Cataracts Wouldn't whitewash away her filthy smoke stack She burnt me like a furnace For my future suicide Lead to the river Midsummer, I waved A 'V'' of black swans On with hope to the grave All through Red September With skies fire-paved I begged you appear Like a thorn for the holy ones Cold was my soul Untold was the pain I faced when you left me A rose in the rain So I swore to the razor That never enchained Would your dark nails of faith Be pushed through my veins again? Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon Come above unto me? For once upon a time From the binds of your lowliness I could always find The right slot for your sacred key Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, this vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine Nymphetamine, nymphetamine Nymphetamine girl Nymphetamine, nymphetamine My nymphetamine girl Wracked with your charm I am circled like prey Back in the forest Where whispers persuade More sugar trails More white lady laid Than pillars of salt Fold to my arms Hold their mesmeric sway And dance her to the moon As we did in those golden days Christening stars I remember the way We were needle and spoon Mislaid in the burning hay Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon Come above unto me? For once upon a time From the bind of your holiness I could always find The right slot for your sacred key Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, this vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine Sunsetter Nymphetamine (Nymphetamine) None better Nymphetamine Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us like a bad crack Upward-lit, I'd met another kind Of rat In fact With every Rome inside me licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind In black Cataracts Wouldn't whitewash away her filthy smoke stack She burnt me like a furnace For my future suicide |

35 posts | I have to agree I think Cruelity, while not the best album, is definetly one of the best songs, among CD's to listen to check out Midian, another one of my favorites is Saffron's Curse, I believe Cradle's middle stuff is the best they had the best musicians and it was more refined then they're old stuff but I will admit they're new stuff is still better than most of the stuff out there, this song was still not even the best song on this album, I personally liked English Fire and Swanson for a Raven, I like hearing the story behind Her Ghost in the Fog... that was a great idea on Dani's part |

1 posts | [i][topic=][b]What the hell is wrong with you people?!?! This is not the best Cradle song by far! The best is between Queen of Winter Throned, and Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids and possibly Funeral in Carpathia respectively. However I don't know why I'm stating this, because most of you are new listeners and panty-waists and probably don't even know what I'm talking about. But on the Up-side, compared to Thornography this CD is a good one. But you little 1 year fans should listen to some older CDs Go for V Empire or Dusk... Those CDs are among their best in their 15 year run. And I must give props to Straightedge hc, that user actually seems like they know what they are talking about
Good bye Hot Topic shoppers. |

7 posts | This song has one major flaw in it, and that's Liv Kristine. I despise her voice.
Without her, this would be so much better. |

3,618 posts | Is she part of the band or some sort of guest vocalist who's only on this one song?
She's Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull, now with the band Leave's Eyes. |

1,423 posts | I agree with what straightedge_hc said on the first page. I really like this song, but it just doesn't compare with the older stuff done by Cradle of Filth. The main reason why I like this song is because it has Liv Kristine doing female vocals and she's probably one of my favourite singers. If you guys think this is the best CoF song, you should check out their older stuff. The lyrics to this song are pretty good, but the older ones are even better. |

13 posts | Nice song. More variety in this one song than most mainstream bands have in an entire album.
Who's the girl who sings in the middle section (the mellower part)? Is she part of the band or some sort of guest vocalist who's only on this one song? |

12 posts | This song isnt as great as several other COF songs. Cradle has recently become more "Melodic" than their original Goth Metal Core. There are acctually better songs, in my opinion, on this album. I dont know maybe im on crack or something lol but thats what i think. |
