*·•|•·LYRICS·•|•·* · I pace alone In a place for the dead Overcome by woe And here, I've grown So fond of dread That I swear it's heaven • Oh sweet Mary Dressed in grief Roll back the stone • With these words scrawled in Her severed hand Tears fall like shards of glass that bend In rivers, like sinners Swept with me to join the *DAMNED!* • The darkened sky The day that laughter died Fell swiftly into night And stayed within Her sight *STARING AT THE KNIFE!* Oh, God, how easy now to sacri-FICE!

Rate and comment? Well Dani's ''Cradle of Filth'' has forged my teenage!! True artists like Daniel create extremely high quality and meaning rich artworks... ''Midian'' and ''Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids'' are undeniable masterpieces!!! 😑👌
This was the exact moment of their prime. But I always prefer their album's versions due to much higher quality of vocals. Especially for Shagrath. His live performances suck, especially after 2010. He always hide in his easy mid-ranges. But this here is the best live version I could find of their best song. And im not surprised its after the release of Spiritual.
