Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids Lyrics

Back when cradle was really good. I miss those days

And to Her dead reflection 'twas as if her pallor gleamed.
Like an angel's warmed by candles where erotic stains had cleaved.
So demons dragged this libertine lusts screaming for release.
Upon the anointed flesh of maidens preened as canvas for caprice.

Fuck yeaaaah

Feat Cartman 😂😂

Man the remaster absolutely sucks compared to this version, especially at 3:18
The drumming and bass is much improved that I can say but shit...

I like the remaster album as a whole but damn did they ever nerf those vocals.

Music 1998 good album!!!

love this song^^

I love playing this shit early in the morning with a cup of coffee in my hand danis the shit

Hear Me now!
Oh crime she be treasure revail will be pleasure somehow
Maleficent in dusky rose
Gathered satin lapped Her breasts
Like blood upon the snow
A tourniquet of Topaz
Glistened at Her throat
Awakening, pulled from the tomb
Her spirit freed eclipsed the moon
That She outshone as a fallen star
A regal ornament from a far flung nebular
Her likeness hung in the black gallery
Commanding unease
Demanding of Death to breathe
Midst the whirl and daylight fauna
Of society at court
Elizabeth bedazzled, Her presence sought applause
Though Her torchlit shadow
Thrown upon damp cellar walls
Greeted nothing but despair from slaves Her nights enthralled
Thirteen Winter solstices had shown
Her path, that the dark
Had marked its dominion
Spaying the confessor
Whose caresses she'd known,
As whipcord in the House of Dog
Her cold cunt meat on holy bone
Raped of faith, She now embraced
The narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face
With this disdain, inside these veins
(Highborn wanton that She was)
She sought to keep what age would claim
Her soul was sold and for this toll
Reeking pyres ever smouldered
On the whims of one so in control
Elizabeth, mysterious
Cruelty brought thee orchids
From the bowels of the abyss
Once upon atrocity when midwitches stifled cries
And carved abortive runes in reddened wombs
Exhumed by crying eyes
Madness came upon
Her like an amorous lover's seed
Lifeblood splashed upon Her skin
In gout torture unleashed
And to Her dead reflection
Twas as if Her pallor gleamed
Like an angel's warmed by candles
Where erotic stains had cleaved
So demons dragged this libertine
Lusts screaming for release
Upon the flesh of maidens preened
As canvas for caprice
Exacting obeisance
Her gaze held a seance
Of spirits too trapped under glass to commune
A sleetier mistress than Luna
Whose threats to consume Her
Met with torments giving vent to Her swoon
Flat on Her back
Pack-prey for the reams
Of verses and curses
That haunted Her dreams
Mid-nightmare chimed
Thirteen in Her mind
A disciple of scars
Branded years hissed behind
Ridden split-thighed
By the Father of lies
An ovation of wolves
Blushed the skies as they writhed
But Heaven is never forever
She came, a spent storm
From the clouds
Leaving serpents in office
Inside every gate
To lick righteous holes
Blinding Lords to the fate
Of virgins forced naked
To defile on rent knees
Hacked and racked backwards
Menses choking their pleas
More whore more
Twitching make me wet with thee
Carcass rub me raw

Back in the day Dani had a reputation for writing lyrics that only he could translate. Not talking any specific song just in general. He even admitted to being guilty of it in an interview years ago. Good job COF were all about the music for me. Lyrics weren't even second place because of that.

i love how they keep coming out with new albums meanwhile this absolute GEM is laying there, for the trully passionate and curious to find. imagine getting into cradle because of some new video they made, and you listen to their newest albums for a year before finding this one..

He'are me now.....
I'm still in 2019

Hear Me now!
All crimes should be treasured,
if they bring thee pleasure somehow.

Maleficent in dusky rose,
gathered satin lapped her breasts like blood upon the snow.
A tourniquet of topaz glistened at her throat.

Awakening, pulled from the tomb.
Her spirit freed, eclipsed the moon,
that she outshone as a fallen star.
A regal ornament from a far flung nebular.

Her likeness hung in the black gallery.
Commanding unease, demanding of Death to breathe!

Midst the whirl and daylight fauna of society at court.
Elizabeth bedazzled, her presence sought applause.
Though her torchlit shadow thrown upon damp cellar walls,
greeted nothing but despair from slaves, her nights enthralled.

Thirteen winter solstices had shown her path,
that the dark had marked its dominion.
Spaying the confessor whose caresses she'd known.
As whipcord in the house of dog, her cold cunt meat on holy bone.

Raped of faith!

She now embraced,
the narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face.
With this disdain, inside these veins,
highborn wanton that she was,
she sought to keep what age would claim.

Her soul was sold and for this toll,
reeking pyres ever smouldered,
on the whims of one so in control.

Elizabeth, mysterious!
Cruelty brought thee orchids,
from the bowels of the abyss.

Once upon atrocity when midwitches stifled cries,
and carved abortive runes in reddened wombs,
exhumed by scrying eyes.

Madness came upon her,
like an amourous lover's seed.
Lifesblood splashed upon her skin,
in gouts torture unleashed.

And to her dead reflection 'twas as if her pallor gleamed.
Like an angel's warmed by candles, where erotic stains had cleaved.
So demons dragged this libertine, lusts screaming for release.
Upon the flesh of maidens preened, as canvas for caprice.

Exacting obeisance, her gaze held a séance,
of spirits too trapped under glass to commune.
A sleeter mistress than Luna whose threats to consume her.
Met with torments giving vent to her swoon.

Flat on her back, pack-prey for the reams,
of verses and curses that haunted her dreams.

Midnightmare chimed thirteen in her mind.
A disciple of scars, branded years hissed behind.
Ridden split-thighed by the father of lies.
An ovation of wolves, blushed the skies as they writhed.

But heaven is never forever!
She came, a spent storm from the clouds.

Leaving serpents in office, inside every gate,
to lick righteous holes, blinding Lords to the fate.
Of virgins forced naked to defile on rent knees.
Hacked and racked backwards, menses choking their pleas.

More whore, more!
Twitching make me wet with thee,
carcass rub me raw.

And to her dead reflection 'twas as if her pallor gleamed.
Like an angel's warmed by candles, where erotic stains had cleaved.
So demons dragged this libertine, lusts screaming for release.
Upon the flesh of maidens preened, as canvas for caprice.

Cruelty and the beast!
Cruelty and the beast!
Cruelty and the beast!

Raped of faith!

She now embraced,
the narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face.
With this disdain, inside these veins,
highborn wanton that she was,
she sought to keep what age would claim.

Her soul was sold and for this toll,
reeking pyres ever smouldered,
on the whims of one so in control.

Elizabeth, mysterious!
Cruelty brought thee orchids,
from the bowels of the abyss.

From the bowels of the abyss!

The first song from my childhood that turned me on to them so freaking great

Hear Me now!

is it just me or Dani sometimes sounds like Eric Cartman?

95 assholes that don't know what a masterpiece is...

Last good album from Cradle.

They kicked ass back then... Today... Ehhh

After years and years of books, movies, and music based on Elizabeth Bathory, painting her as pure evil and sadistic, It'd be funny if some evidence came to light and we were all completely wrong about her.

Brasil.2019?

My favorite part is 6.28 to 6.42

Dusk..her embrance..and Cruelty is my favorite albums ever

3:25 he sound a little bit like cartman

Hahahaha never heard it that way before, until now

Oh my God that's hilarious 😂

Dani ... still a legend !

One of the best song of the cradle of filth for my thoughts, near at funeral in carpathia

Elizabeth bathory forever!!!

How fucking dare YouTube cunts to put adverts before or after this or any other song, so YouTube are making money from this music and I guarantee that they’re not paying COF any fucking royalties

Between this album, dusk, and midian collectively a trifecta of perfection!

P.s. beneath the howling stars is still my fav track from this album, tho this would be my third.

I appreciate how the album cover is an accurate depiction of Baphomet. I have a feeling these guys aren't unfamiliar with the Sinister Tradition.

2019 after many years still one of the best black metal albums .. childhood memories

Ah eski günler ahhhh

I was 15 when I first heard this album and I've been in love with Dani ever since! Probably my favorite COF album and I had an obsession with Elizabeth Bathory even before I ever heard it! Still love them!

Python Modan Wanted To Destroy Us. He Was Right. My Bad.

i love this album😍

Fantasticooooooo

Came here after Blackest Magic in Practice, best CoF song in 2015 and meet masterpiece in late 90's.

2019 and still one of the best songs ever

Some asshole put this on a list of things I'm not allowed to listen to. Fuck you too! I love this whole CD!

damn that bass was technical as fuck

78 cocksuckers

Damn!!!!! Back to My Roots!

2019 ... still bangin ^^

Well said

I feel like a high schooler again :)))

Beautiful music! Enough said!

2019 <3

20 years later and it is hard to find something this good

No shit dude! This and Dusk were both a masterpiece in their own right. Think I was a sophomore in high school when this came out and my hair was down to my ass

Boris the Spider fuck yess. Ahh... memories

Favorite part is 3:33 to 3:45. That screeching howl over an almost "angelic" melody sounds so awesome.

Crime should be treasure if they bring me pleasure some how..

1st generation BM is better

Hear me cow! For lesbians should be strangled if they ever make a sound somehow

yes please!!! for me bridge between death as fuck and thrash riffs

so why didn’t Sarah Jezebel Deva like this album? it’s actually really good, & the sound and production is good to me

Major stiffy right now.

Dick Dangle I would too if I had a penis lmfao

Thanks for the drum Mix...

0:20 when you have homework

2020 and still kickin

Feel like my teens

Still MEGA! Same as on that day when I was 15 and got this album

Seen this live, man...not many words describe music like this.

Best show ever, caught them with Type O

Elizabeth Bathory. The book Countless Dracula by Tony Thorne depicts her crimes with historical accuracy. The woman’s atrocities are legendary. Over 650 murders and unknown number of tortures and rapes of young women. She may have only been a Countess but she is the Queen of sadists and murderers. She had multiple castles filled with corpses. Her chambers walls and floors caked with blood. Her furnace room under her castles where she bathed in the blood of her victims. The women would be hoisted up in a cage above the tub and they would proceed to slowly stab the women with lances and also have the lining of the cage with razor sharp spikes and push the young women against with hot pokers. The screams were heard from outside the castles by priests. No one dared defy the Countess.

VEmpire, Dusk, and this album were never off my stereo back in the late 90's. Classics!

Such a classic track right here...If There ever was a hall of fame made exclusively for metal songs of the last 30 years, this would undoubtedly belong in there...This has always been COFs gem trademark of their songs right here...Vampires and metal and sin and lust and erotica and blood...ingredients for a perfect gothic metal track!

This album and dusk and her embrace are their best masterpieces 👍

Cruelty bought the orchids from the Bowes of the abyss. Best cradle song along with fic. 3.02 epic man

fuck yea trued black metal

Haven't heard this in 7yrs.. great stuff

This song and track brings me right back to my teenage years. From I was fiftteen all the way until I was twenty years of age. One of my favorit album under that time. Many f*cked upp parties whith booze and al there between. What a lot of memory, god and bad. I would do everyting agian if I got the chance.

Needs remixing

Hear me now!
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasure somehow...

The best part

THAT RIFF at 01:36! 🤘

Ogni volta che suona sta roba mi addormento

Buon per te

yeah dani of filth

fuck GOD

Elizabeth... La mejor canción...

Cruelty brought thee Orchids from the bowels of the Abyss

Bad ass song

Hear Me now!
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasure somehow...

Lecter does bring that certain perfection to this album with his keys

Mi mejor época Dr niño este disco 💿 y esta canción 🎶

essa musica é um terremoto,derruba ate predio,so cradle of filth mesmo.

Can't believe 'Cruelty and the Beast' is 20 years old this year! Was hooked on this album ever since hearing 'Lustmord and Wargasm' on a free CD that was included with a copy of Metal Hammer magazine. Stuart Anstis' guitars are crushing on this track and so is the amazing drumming from Nick Barker!

Une des meilleures

Love so much this Album!!!

My crush recommended this song to me, never been so shook in my life

Your crush totally rocks! \m/ (^_^) \m/

Hahaha xD

Cruelty and the Beast by Cradle of Filth is one of the greatest Death/Black/Gothic metal CD/Albums of all time. Period.

Why Death? It's black/gothic

Magnificent
