Cradle of Filth – The Band
Origin: Suffolk, EnglandGenre(s): Extreme metalYears active: Since 1991
Cradle of Filth are an extreme metal band from Suffolk, England, formed in 1991. They have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and their particular subgenre has provoked a great deal of discussion.
The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films.
Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine
Evanescent like the scent of decayI was fading from the raceWhen in despair, my darkest daysRan amok and forged her faceFrom the fairest of handmaidens toA slick perverted wraith

Nymphetamine
Heaving midst narcissusOn a maledict blanket of starsShe was all three wishesSex, sex, sex
A lover hung on her death rowI was hooked on her diseaseHighly strung like Cupid’s bowWhose arrows hungered meatAnd the blinding flare of passionIn the shade of narrow streetsWhere their poison never rationedAll the tips they left in me
Two tracksBric-a-bracSomething passed between usLike a bad crackI believedI’d met another kind
Of ratIn factWith every Rome inside meLicked and ransackedShe haunted at the corners of my mind
In blackCataractsWouldn’t whitewash awayHer filthy smoke stackShe burnt me like a furnaceFor my future suicide
LEAD to the riverMidsummer, I wavedA ‘V’’ of black swansOn with hope to the gravethrough Red Septemberwith skies fire-pavedI begged you appearLike a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soulUntold was the painI faced when you left meA rose in the rain...So I swore to the razorThat never, enchainedWould your dark nails of faithBe pushed through my veins again
Bared on your tombI am a prayer for your lonelinessAnd would you ever soonCome above onto me?For once upon a timeFrom the binds of your lowlinessI could always findThe right slot for your sacred key
Six feet deep is the incisionIn my heart, that barless prisonDiscolours all with tunnel visionSunsetterNymphetamine
Sick and weak from my conditionThis lust, this vampyric addictionTo her alone in full submissionNone betterNymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamineNymphetamine girlNymphetamine, nymphetamineMy nymphetamine girl
Wracked with your charmI am circled like preyBack in the forestWhere whispers persuadeMore sugar trailsMore white lady laidThan pillars of salt...
fade to my armsHold their mesmeric swayAnd dance to the moonAs we did in those golden days
Christening starsI remember the way
