Cradle of Filth - Forest Whispers My Name: lyrics and video

to pull me close amid the baying of wolves
Beneath the spread of a Magickal Aeon
Where the hungry ones will carry my soul
When the moon is full

She who fain would learn all sorcery
Artemis be near me
in the arms of the ancient oak
as restriction is bled from the veins of my neck

the potent spirit of your Queen,
to men that mix and meet her,
Teach her, in truth
from knowledge drunk from the fountain of life
but I am drawn past their flickering lure
Come to me, my Pale Enchantress
where the bindings of christ are down-trodden with scorn
her languid lips are sweeter,
"Pale, beyond porch and portal,
a monument to the trapping of breath
who gathers all things mortal,

and the horned, hidden one is re-invoked

my mother great Diana.
in the dark, odiferous earth
to the land of the Dark Immortals
This is my will...
all things as yet unknown
...In the whispering forest
where daylight hangs by a lunar noose
to learn from the dark and the voices between
I stand enthralled
yet has not won its deepest secrets,
we shall assemble to adore
my thoughts weigh heavy with the burden of time
In the moon of the woods we kiss
from many times and lands."
where the vigilant trees push out of the womb
The principle of Evil
to drop roses on my marbled breast
crowned with leaves, she stands,
I lust for the wind and the flurry of leaves
as the wild hunt careers through the boughs
evolution has been recalled

and the perfume of flesh on the murderous breeze

than love's who fears to greet her,
I walk the path
We embrace like two lovers at death

the forest beckons with her nocturnal call
Black candles dance to an overture
The forest whispers my name...again and again

then my mother will

from Chaos born out of love and the scythe
with cold immortal hands,
I sip the blood-red wine
to the breathing forest that surrounds the room
