Текст песни Cradle Of Filth - Misericord (Bonus Track)

Текст:

Nightmares on a roll The spirit of fear Has alighted here Mercy on your soul... This fright, crepuscular Is muscular with vitriol Misericord I pass by as your shadow The ghostly burning arrow A marksman for your swerving heart Misericord I support your faith When weary, in disgrace You fall to doubt and pull all life apart On this mist-enshrouded pathway And through this hateful tarantella In this thin labyrinth of razors I shall grin, your soul's propeller Misericord Respite from the grief These spiteful nightfall teeth Grinding minds to tiny pieces Misericord Clockwork works the thief Like an ever-ticking beast Whose biting cogs self-denial greases Drowned in alcohol Sirens of the deep Are demon forces Mercy on your soul... A life lived more monastic Drastic measures must extol On this mist-enshrouded pathway And through this hateful tarantella In this thin labyrinth of razors I shall win, your soul's propeller Bound to you like bloodline Familiar with the cracks The foul and fetid landscape Just off the beaten tracks Broods treacherous with sinkholes The moon is doused in tar And the fiend disaster preys upon This straight and narrow path Like an ever-ticking beast Whose biting cogs self-denial greases Misericord I free you of the bond To pain, now flee beyond The veil of Death Where peace holds reign Misericord I'm the killing stroke The dagger in your throat Under the armour Calmer with its gain Enemies take control The swarming hordes Have stormed the walls Mercy on your soul... Tonight I close your eyes Before the temple falls Before the temple falls
