From The Cradle To Enslave Lyrics

    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 belts that welt the sky
    Whilst the bitter winter moon
    Prowls the cloud, dead-eyed
    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 the be kept

    Hear that hissing now on the breeze
    As through the plundered groves of the carnal garden
    A fresh 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
    PAN DAEMON AEAON

    And what use are prayers to that god?
    As devils bay concensus for the space to piss
    On your smouldering faith
    And 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

    Danse macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac
    Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
    What sick nativities 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 looses 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 is season
    Drive like the drifting snow
    Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasising war
    On our knees or another f**ker'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 to 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 Gehennah paved
    When empires fall
    And nightmares crawl
    From the cradle to enslave....

    This is the end of everything
