CRADLE OF FILTH

"HAUNTED SHORES"

Spoken words by Cronos:

I HAVE AWOKEN FROM THE PAST
LENGTHENING THE SHADOWS
OVER ENGLAND’S BITTER SCARS
PRISE WIDE THE WOUNDS
HER SOILS, WHETTED, DRINK
REMEMBER ME AS KING
WHEN I CRADLE ELDER STARS
LIKE LOVERS IN MY ARMS
NESTLED VIPERS TO MY BREAST
VENOMED FORCES WORK THESE CARDS
OF DEVILS AND PRIESTESS
THUS, I SHALL RULE A NEW
THROUGH SINEWS OF A SONG
PLAYED UPON THE STORM
BY THE GHOST OF AVALON
AND ALL IN LEAGUE WILL BOW TO ME
FROM DEATH THEY SHALL ASCEND
TO WHISPER WINDS OF WAR TO STIR
THE DARK- ONE THING IN MEN
THE PRINCIPLE BLACK METAL MASTERPLAN

(Lyrics by Cronos – voice recorded 14/February/1995 Birmingham. England.)
