| Cradle of Filth – Saffron's Curse Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song has nothing to do with necrophilia. It is about the mentioned woman getting possessed by the Devil ["When in her mind She sought His leave / And begged forgiveness"] and that is why she tries to kill herself. Because she was been overwhelmed with evilness, she "has sinned and severed Heaven." The "colder savior" is talking about how God was cold, letting such an innocent woman get possessed by Satan. "Pricked as a Witch" means that because of her being possessed, she is considered a Witch, as if she sold her soul to the Devil, as was supposed back then. In the end, she is killed, and the narrator "splintered her coffin and lay on the floor" and because she no longer is possesssed, but dead, he curses and calls Christ a bastard for lack of salvation of her soul. But, it turns out that she is NOT dead, as after aeons she awakes again and has still some evil in her [Whilst Her halo of white lies supplies / Her temple to what God forbids]. | |
