Lyrics Saffron's Curse (Live) - Cradle of Filth

Through arcades where shimmering snowfall
Lay in state with the sad and damned
A red-plumed penny harp upon a whisk
Went scurrying like a ghost through the halls of man
I felt his tempting flame between a wet cat razor
A kindred buried in a graveyard
Beneath the statue of a golden saviour
I thought, "Let me read his map of the heart"
And put the tear love in between her bloodworts
Like a young teacher was a reckless classmate
Making love to the beautiful girl
She had pinned and severed heaven
And in its off-gas sight
Her finger piped the wax silhouette
That extends its fingers to the sky
Gothic towers tottered on my heels
As I fled asylum realms
Committing hard crimes to soft cells
Where now another's screams resound
From the arsenic in her passing
They see younger wolves beneath grey skies
When the hand pointed to midnight
In a time sign I'm bound
I swept her from the abyss of another dimension
Where the shadows are never meant to hide
To take the reins of reason
Down the stream there were screaming people
And a glimpse of tormented eyes
Four walls filled with black cat scratch
And a spiteful, painful eye
Writhe in her witches' stitches
Itch for familiar lips to lick them dry
Whilst the dark wings rattle as she asks
To come forth, take the right away
And it's the first of their turns
That they make his return
In a vengeful call of night
The reaper marches to match
From his suicide patch
A river twist his fate behind
The scars will last until the stars
Caught in her dream bewitched
Fall into line and yield the sign
The dawn is born to the eclipse
For all in humankind
Comes an underdog day sunrise
Rippling with fire, life be malediction
Enemies aflame
I gazed in heaven to the fore
God's hand of pain rending the grave
She called his name and begged for anger
I sprinted a coffin that lay on the floor
Of a boat with a clasp to some moon hung to shore
What treachery this led she breathed no more
Back to the stars
I wished her back but the dead had taught her
Even wild wings hang as coral for a
Chaplet from my heart, from the start I swore
We'd be together more
Creation froze with the trident of death
As guilty stirred and awoke to be rebirthed
A clock that seemed for the aeon slept
Then made the dark cast
She's in the girl with power
And the men sometimes get it
I dream of being done
But heaven, they're misdirected
I beckon ancient decrees and seasons
Where come forth the devil on her knees
To graft her those, a remedy
And mind desired squish
To taste thereof of heaven sent
And kick and twist it as it is
For a corpse with legs spread out to the skies
The girl's revenge commenced
But the healer walked right past her cries
The dead were to have God's last
