Nymphetamine (Overdose) — Cradle Of Filth
Evanescent like the scent of decay I was fading from the race When in despair, my darkest days Ran amok and forged her face From the fairest of handmaidens to A slick perverted wraith
Nymphetamine
Heaving midst narcissus On a maledict blanket of stars She was all three wishes Sex, sex, sex
A lover hung on her death row I was hooked on her disease Highly strung like Cupid's bow Whose arrows hungered meat And the blinding flare of passion In the shade of narrow streets Where their poison never rationed All the tips they left in me
Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us Like a bad crack Upward-lit I'd met another kind
Of rat In fact With every rome inside me Licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind
In black Cataracts Wouldn't whitewash away Her filthy smoke stack She burnt me like a furnace For my future suicide
Lead to the river Midsummer, I waved A 'V'' of black swans On with hope to the grave All through Red September With skies fire-paved I begged you appear Like a thorn for the holy ones
Cold was my soul Untold was the pain I faced when you left me A rose in the rain So I swore to the razor That never, enchained Would your dark nails of faith Be pushed through my veins again
Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon Come above unto me? For once upon a time From the binds of your lowliness I could always find The right slot for your sacred key
Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, a vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine Nymphetamine girl Nymphetamine, nymphetamine My nymphetamine girl
Wracked with your charm I am circled like prey Back in the forest Where whispers persuade More sugar trails More white lady laid Than pillars of salt
Fold to my arms Hold their mesmeric sway And dance her to the moon As we did in those golden days
Christening stars I remember the way We were needle and spoon Mislaid in the burning hay
Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon Come above unto me? For once upon a time From the binds of your lowliness I could always find The right slot for your sacred key
Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, a vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine
Sunsetter Nymphetamine (Nymphetamine) None better Nymphetamine
Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us Like a bad crack Upward-lit I'd met another kind
Of rat In fact With every rome inside me Licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind
In black Cataracts Wouldn't whitewash away Her filthy smoke stack She burnt me like a furnace For my future suicide
