Cradle of Filth - Summer Dying Fast: lyrics and video

Ar shrink in fear from Chaos roused for war? War
I watch the storm approaching, the darkness calls my name
Wrest askew the nails that have held you, lurking deep
How many secrets can they read by your face?
And lays the path for those unseen
Forever flung to celestial dreams
And throw the reins untethered to the skies
Of beauty held in dream-dead sleep?
And scarlet seas that bleed the frozen shores?


Winter spawn from barren thighs
Stain the milky sunset red and let the other in
They pray to the full moon rising

Through acrid clouds of summer flies

The trees are growing restless, they feel the season change
Appear, draped in terror to the comfort of your kin
We are what we are, what we shall be, again
The thread of life lies severed on the brink of paradise

Autumn spreads its golden wings
Assuage our rule from planes above
Talons stretch her veil
To readdress, to slay the blind
Their fruit has putrified, forbidden once and bound to die
Wrapped alone in a blanket of nightfall
Reclamation, our time has come
Diana moving with such infinite grace
Spearhead the insurrection of a world that seeks no end
Will their God of bridled love
Dash towers tall that grip the sun
September prayers are waning burn the shrines of fettered sheep

A tangled web of evil spun at last
Clawing at the grave of the dead Nazarene
Will they know of majesty
Summer's dying
The garden swells with a thousand more wise

Grinning winds of hate unfurled
