Testo The 13th Caesar - Cradle of Filth
Testo della canzone The 13th Caesar (Cradle of Filth), tratta dall'album Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder
Oh, how my rampant desire
Ripped from the presence of God
Now hungered like a beast
For the knowledge of evil
When Joan was burnt he knew malevolence at the heart of all
A cold and jagged abyss bled of sense
The throne he earned through God's benevolence started his own fall
Clothing ragged dogma in his own magnificence
Here the stench, the gold events
The bold inventions of the will
Luxuries and splendors past the ken of mortal men
Every wanton bent desire went fulfilled
A Daemon sat upon the top of the world
Like a Herod over Genesis
They sang hosannas as his banners unfurled
Kissing terrors with paralysis
His brash canvas insulted the view
Moving heaven and earth to please the
Tumultitudes, whom his strange retinue drew
To assert the 13th Caesar
The 13th Caesar (ichor kicked inside his veins)
The 13th Caesar (war was licked, for shame)
The 13th Caesar (sicker, but just as vain)
The 13th Caesar, Gilles De Rais
When Joan was burnt, he knew malevolence at the heart of all
He swore henceforth he would serve evil alone
Here the stench, the gold events
The insurrection of his will
Theatre and feasts past the ken of mortal men
Every wanton bent desire went fulfilled
A Daemon sat upon the top of the world
Like a Herod over Genesis
Devils sang hosannas as his banners unfurled
Striking terror into menaces
The 13th Caesar (ichor kicked inside his veins)
The 13th Caesar (war was licked, for shame)
The 13th Caesar (sicker, but just as vain)
The 13th Caesar, Gilles De Rais
Suetonius and Ovid filled his moonstruck dreams
With the purple of Rome
His Venus of arena-blood was dead
And he was storming home
The 13th Caesar (ichor kicked inside his veins)
The 13th Caesar (war was licked, for shame)
The 13th Caesar (sicker, but just as vain)
The 13th Caesar, Gilles De Rais
The 13th Caesar (ichor kicked inside his veins)
The 13th Caesar (war was licked, for shame)
The 13th Caesar (sicker, but just as vain)
The 13th Caesar, Gilles De Rais
