The Black Goddess Rises (live) - Cradle of Filth

Thee I Invoke, bornless one

All woman, pure predator

Wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell

Like a seething fall from grace

Thee I worship...

Thou art darkest Gabrielle

Lilith who rode the steed

Thou art pale Hecate

Rising from Thessaly

Crush their unworthy idols

No church shall bar our path

Seductive evil, drink your fill

Of the bleed Christ in your arms

You are in my dreams

The darkness in my eyes

The rapture in their screams

Black Goddess arise

Nothing will keep us apart

We could kill them all

If our desire tore free

Our union as one, sweet, sinful eve

And the night draws in beside her

As we embrace the dark side by side

I pour my soul in those eyes full of fire

To harvest the seed ploughed inside her

Archangel, snare the flesh

Such dry the ebbing wound

Leave them lifeless and broken

My beloved...

Oh, how I craved for you

You so pure and other-worldly with your scent of winter

Am I to bleed myself dry to see your delight?

And the fear retreats forever

(Come to me... Black Goddess arise)

When my secrets are buried in thine

(Come to me... Black Goddess arise)

Under seven stars we came together

(Come to me... Black Goddess arise)

To plot the new age's decline

(Come to me... Arise)

Ishtar my Queen

Come forth to me

And help me seize

My future from the House of Death

That in the release of immortality

I should slay their fucking nazarene

Ah... The lies... The jew... I kill for you...

You are in my dreams

The darkness in my eyes

The rapture in their screams

Black Goddess arise

Hidden lusts will break the gates and swarm

As love secretes the thrill for war

The virgin raped shall seek to whore

She-wolf bare your snarling jaw

Thee I Invoke, bornless one

All woman, pure predator

Wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell

Like a seething fall from grace

Thou art darkest Gabrielle

Lilith who rode the steed

Thou art pale Hecate

Rising from Thessaly
