Cradle Of Filth - Courting Baphomet Lyrics






Wishing in contempt of love
The righteous came to burn our forest
With hissing firebrands
For though we serve the gentle curves
Of our serpent-girdled Eastern Goddess
They thought they caught us
Kissing hearses in their land

Send away the pumpkin carriage
Blind mice in your head
Parade themselves like sacrilegious
Envoys of the dead
For in this house of the dark Madonna
Flesh will pleasure life
For free of sin we would dishonour
All that virgin sacrifice

Gut our city, slaughter all within
Save the gold that goes to God
Show no pity for we worship sin
Spare not the old nor lightning rod

We raise our devil horns
To those who sit on high
For down amidst the thorns
We lie

Tonight the black guards came to rape
And ruin those souls empathising
With fleeing far away
Thrown to the Tigris river curves
Of our star tiara-ed Ishtar rising
They thought they caught us
Courting Baphomet

Courting Baphomet

Gut our city, slaughter all within
Save the gold that goes to God
Show no pity for we worship sin
Spare not the old nor lightning rod

She walked the world
When the world was made to dress
In a perfect darkness
A murderess in flame
Nature curled, unleashed, unfurled
The crack of a whip on the lips of anger
Why would your holy order
Not be wholly slain?

Wishing in contempt of love
The righteous came to burn our forest
With just verses for the damned
For though we serve the gentle curves
Of our serpent-girdled Eastern Goddess
They thought they caught us
Pissing curses in the sand

We raise our devil horns
To those who sit on high
For down amidst the thorns
We lie

We raise our devil horns

    My opinion, great song! I love COF. Why do you bring up the different nationalities? some like this some dont. SO WHAT! Listen what you like.

  8. l.... ....

    yes, that is very true. it just seem that there is always some ignorant american trying to bring everyone down. no offence to any of you yanks who are decent!

  9. l.... ....

    i ahve picsif you would like to see. just because you are fake dosen't mean i am

  10. l.... ....

    oohh please that shit is so old. and you weren't even there. so find something you can credit yourself with. don't talk about it, be about, bitch!

  11. K.... ....

    you're absolutely right. I am American. You're just bitter cause you guys lost the war.

  12. K.... ....

    dude just from reading what you say i know you're full of shit. You're probably some 13 year old fan-fag. Future politician? LOL! And im a future member of Cradle of Filth. Give it up dude. You fail

  13. K.... ....

    uh huh...

  14. K.... ....

    no you're not

  15. l.... ....

    i'm a financial adviser and supervisor for a major bank..yea so get some you poor ass bitch

  16. d.... ....

    wicked track! I hope the bonus thornography tracks are an indication of what the new record will sound like, I know these tracks were done ages ago though but I heard dani saying that the new album will be proper fast, like a cross between "dusk" & "midian", cant wait!

  17. l.... ....

    haha now you are gonna go this road. i think i do practice it everyday. that why i have a successful career and you are still living with dear old mum scratching your balls all day.

  18. l.... ....

    i'm an out of control fan? your screen name is the title of a cof song..and no i wont get over myself. don't be so fucking jealous. haters are taking over. remember. don't talk about it, be about it!

  19. l.... ....

    i love this song. dani is amazing.

  20. l.... ....

    funny how all you imbeciles get on here and talk shit. i have some advice for you mr dickfuck. don't talk about it, be about it!

  21. J.... J....

    feels like an or-fucking-gasme!

  22. U.... ....

    Their lyrics aren't as in-depth and mesmorizing as Nymphetamine and the albums before.

  23. T.... B....

    Why the fuck are you here then!? If you're aren't a fan of COF then why even bother commenting!?

  24. T.... B....

    This truly is Harder, Darker, and Faster! The best part is you can tell Dani Filth is getting his voice back. I can't fucking wait for their new album. Same with Dani's first ever autobiography The Gospel of Filth! It sucks that not too many people liked Thornography because I fucking loved it!

  25. T.... O....

    If everyone on Youtube, that claims to be real fans, or that they know SO much about music. These bands would ALL be fucking multi platinum. Fucking youtube fans, THATS IT

  26. I.... ....

    from 3:04 -3:33 is ab big step forward or back in that case,very nice^^

    thornography wasn't good, but this song kicks asses

  27. E.... P....

    I'm not really a big fan of Cradle but I do have to say this song is pretty damn good.

  28. A.... ....

    this song kicks so much ass!!!

  29. J.... B....

    I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: )

  30. l.... ....

    i agree. man could never conceive reality and a god.

  31. d.... ....

    Time is man made. There no such thing as time. Time was created as mans way of dealing with change. But more to the point, why is there a religious debate on a MUSIC VIDEO!?!??

  32. A.... ....

    this is a fucken awesome song. i love the riff in there it is fricken awesome.

  33. C.... ....

    That well, NEW DISC, ALREADY WAS WAITING FOR IT. CRADLE OF FILTH IS THE BETTER(BEST) OF THE DESTRUCTIVE METAL.

  34. k.... ....

    They are not satanist.

  35. b.... b....

    they MIGHT! be satanists (MIGHT!) if they are (im speaking to those who don't like them because religioN) they don't announce it like other bands

  36. B.... ....

    well, xslayeroflambsx! in ghost, the girl is so beautiful that all the villager men are looking for her and when they realise that they won't be able to get her, they accuse of whitchcraft and kill and rape her! that's what i got from that song and the best love song ever written!

  37. k.... ....

    Wow thanks!
    You're right! That's amazing!!

  38. k.... ....

    This actually sounds great! Really looking forward for their next CD

    where did you see the rehearsal?

  39. k.... ....

    It's Cruelty Brought THEE orchids :)
    Malice through the looking Glass, Dusk and her Embrace, Bathory Aria, Queen of Winter are also awesome

    Hope the next album will be more keyboard-oriented, as Paul said

  40. t.... ....

    this is actually pretty good for their new stuff

  41. B.... ....

    wow my god! i've been listenin this song continuously but i see the lyrics now and they are fabuluous! it make me remember her ghost in the fog!

    In her ghost in the fog ppl were looking for the girl but in this song they are lookin for both girl and the man! :)

  42. C.... H....

    i actually like their new stuff.
    its way more upbeat than old stuff like
    her ghost in the fog
    nymphetamine fix
    bablyon ad
    and others.
    not that i dont like those ones ,theyre just a bit slow.

  43. C.... H....

    i actually like their new stuff.
    its way more upbeat than old stuff like
    her ghost in the fog
    nymphetamine fix
    bablyon ad
    and others.
    not that i dont like those ones ,theyre just a bit slow.

  44. D.... ....

    I love the the first minute of this song. Not my fav off the select new songs, but good none the less.

  45. T.... ....

    I got all CoF cd's. But i use youtube when i'm not home, in school, or somewhere.
    - Or to learn new bands, if i like it i buy it.

  46. m.... ....

    i was wondering if u could post the song the snake eyed and the venomouse?

  47. r.... ....

    From dusk and her embrace it went downhill and well... this is pure shit tbh
