Cruel Lover Lyrics

Cruel lover I lay me down again in your arms Undress me and possess me With your toungues of fire Withershins feeding from the child to the breast I plunge my knife in you At all hell's behest

Cruel mother Dig your nails into my back Grant my furtive soul a place in your design Know me know as I place my ashes into your urn Of the flesh am I and to the flesh I shall return

I am a shadow moving with shadows I am blood and piss coming in waves I am Isaiah's nightmare brought into flesh now (and once again) I am the sword and the whip and the pleasure of slaves
Cruel father I've climbed the ivory spire for you I've seen your blade like arms Rake the stars from the sky Tearing through the kingdom like so much kindling and straw Casting down all order into the cape of salvation's maw

I am a shadow moving with shadows I am blood and piss coming in waves I am Isaiah's nightmare brought into flesh now (and once again) I am the sword and the whip and the pleasure of slaves
