Lord Abortion

This is the entire song from my point of view.

Ok, pretty much I think that his mother tried to burn him out of her womb, and failed so she attemted to stab him and ended up killing herself instead, although she survived.

Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead The bonesaw on the backseat On this bitter night of giving head A sharp rear entry, an exit in red Lump in the throat, on my come choke The killing joke worn thin with breath

"Living dead"-he should be dead, although he is not and it sounds like he forces oral sex WHILE stabbing them to death "lump in the throat, on my come choke the killing joke worn thin with breath"

I grew up on the sluts bastard Father beat blue Keepsake cunts cut full out easing puberty through

I may be COMPLETELY wrong with this, but I think his "bastard father" wouldn't ever let him see women, and every time he tried, his father would kill them, and so this "eased puberty" by knowing he couldn't have a woman and therefore didn't have to deal with them

Aah! Nostalgia grows Now times nine or ten Within this vice den called a soul Dying resurrection I dig deep to come again The spasm of orgasm on a roll...

Ok, to tell you all the truth, I don't have a damn clue what this means, except maybe that he has killed nine or ten people as of now. I'm going to skip the verses that I don't know how to describe or don't know what the hell they might mean.

Horrorscopes My diorama A twelve part (so far) psychodrama Another chained I mean to harm Her Inside as well as out A perverts gasp inside the mask I'm hard, blow My house of cards All turn up Death, Her bleeding starts In brute vermillion parts...

"a twelve part psychodrama"-this may mean that he has raped and killed 12 victims so far. "another chained i mean to harm her inside as well as out" obviously means he has captured yet another victim and will rape and kill her as well. then it leads to describe forced oral sex and her bleeding to death blah blah

Possessed with levering Hell's gates wide Liberating knives to cut Humanity slack

he is "possessed" with getting into Hell and leaving an impression, so he continues to kill humans, but maybe this also describes how he chooses his victims, possibly suggested he kills the "slackers" and lazy humans only?

My ambition is to slay anon A sinner in the hands of a dirty God Who lets Me prey, a Gilles De Rais Of light where faith leads truth astray

ANON MEANS THIS: a·non /əˈnɒn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-non] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –adverb

1. in a short time; soon.
2. at another time.
3. Archaic. at once; immediately. —Idiom
4. ever and anon, now and then; occasionally. or anon.
5. anonymous.
6. anonymously. so he plans to kill again soon and anonymously he is a sinner even though our "dirty God" must be as well since he just ignores this completely. also this "God" will let him prey, and it mentions Gilles de Rais, who was a precedent to a modern day serial killer, who lived in France and tortured, raped, and killed children

I slit guts and free the moistest feces Corrupt the corpse and seize the choicest pieces Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within

pretty much suggests he cuts up his victims, takes the vagina as a trophy and for later pleasures alabaster may say that her limbs were pale and white, and it made the carnal area less appealing

"My heart was a wardrum beat By jugular cults in eerie jungle vaults When number thirteen fell in My lap Lips and skin like sin, a Venus Mantrap My appetite whetted, storm crows wheeled At the blurred edges of reason 'till I was fulfilled Whors d'oeuvres eaten, I tucked Her into A grave coffin fit for the Queen of Spades She went out like the light in My mind Her face an avalanche of pearl, of ruby wine... Much was a flux, but the mouth once good for fucks Came from retirement to prove She had not lost Her touch I kissed Her viciously, maliciously, religiously But when has ONE been able TO best seperate the THREE? I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do Aah, aah, ahh, I'll let you sleep when I am through..."

perhaps saying his heart beats quick and hard when "in the act" also says "when number thirteen fell in my lap" saying that he has just killed his 13th victim. seeing the dead body has stimulated his appetite. it also says he buries her in a large coffin and tries to forget her, although he remembers the blood trickled over her face. he remembers oral sex with her, and unable to control himself, unburies her and "kisses her viciously, maliciously, religiously" it also suggests that he eats her. "I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do" Dahmer being Jeffrey Dahmer, who raped, killed, and ate his victims.

he also screams "you fucking whore" right here

The suspect shadow where they least Expect My burning grasp to reach

again suggesting his mother tried to burn him to death

The stranglehold, the opened arms Seeking sweet meat with no holes barred

he "seeks sweet meat" with no restraint over himself

Rainbows that My razors wrung Midst Her screams and seams undone Sung at the top of punctured lungs I bite My spiteful tongue Lest curses spat from primal lairs Freeze romance where Angels, bare Are lost to love, bloodloss, despair I weep, they merely stare... And stare, and stare, and stare, and stare.

his razors show all the colors of the insides of a human body, which he compares to a rainbow for beauty his newest victim screams and her lungs are punctured for he has already stabbed through them it sounds to me like this one last victim was a girl he truly loved and for it he "bites his spiteful tongue" and even says he weeps while others merely stare

Alright I hope you enjoyed that long-ass comment.

Its not simply about a necrophiliac. Why is it that people dont look at all the lyrics. What decarabas said is exactly right, its about a child who was born to a woman who tried to have an abortion but died. His father grew up banging sluts and he lived off thier company. He felt the urge to rape, kill and molest the alive and dead bodys of young virgins considering the elements around him. It also talks about him trying to cleanse the world... its kind of a hidden message but if you read the lyrics enough you will start to get it. Its my favorite song by Cradle of Filth. I have left comments on other songs :P Check em out.

Ok, not sure who actually is still on here or even comes to this particular section of this website, and I couldn’t bring myself to read the rest of the comments myself to see if this had been addressed, so if it has, my apologies, if not, here we go… First things first, Dani Filth is absolutely a lyrical genius, period. Second, this song is about so much more than just a serial rapist/murderer, even though on the surface it is easy to see why people think that. Now, that being said, when Dani was writing the album Midian, he drew inspiration from the movie Nightbreed, and the book that it was adapted from, Cabal. Now, once one has seen the movie, read the book, and listened to the album, the song’s themselves, even though as a stand-alone piece of artwork, tell a story start to finish, the other pieces of work help one to understand where they are coming from, and what he intended to convey when he wrote them.

I'm not even gonna get into the meaning of this song...it would take me way too long to explain. Basically it's about a series of brutal rapes on virgins from what I got. I love Cradle of Filth, and this song is just amazing.

I think it's about being a necropheliac and having sex with dead chicks. I love this song except I think Gian should've put a wicked solo into it. That would've absolutely perfected this song. Awesome drums, sweet riff, disgustingly cool lyrics, but no solo...

hmm sick as you can get from cradle its all good

This song kick ass becuase Jeffery Dahmer is in it. He was the serial killer who ate his viticms, had sex with the dead bodies, he had penis, hearts, and heads as thropes. He is one of my favorite serial killers. he comes next to ed gein.

Cradle of Filth..say the name..i smile. This sdong is special. Cradle has such deep*ass meanings..it's hard to not love them. I can't go into the meaning of Lord Abortion. as "Filth" said..it's way too complicated. basically..it is about a necrophilliac raping virgins. and murdering them. not exactly in that order. Just because Gian didn't play a solo in it..doesn't make the song bad. pooor gian. he quit the band. i

There's more to the song: I think it's about twisted serial killers in general. He mentions Gilles De Rais and Dahmer who were both serial killers and cannibals. The song also hints at a demented childhood: his mother died while trying to abort him (sick ain't it?) and then his father just screwed whores. The narrator takes over and rapes virgins and does some sadistic this (cutting, stabbing, ect...) and then he goes back for more after they die. He admits it's sick, but he just has to do it to feel complete. That's the twisted nature of Cradle for you.

This song is fucking awesome, definitely one of their best. It'll remain a classic and one of my favorites. Still better than the Damnation and A Day stuff.
