The Black Goddess Rises Lyrics
Thee I invoke, bornless one
all woman, pure predator
wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell
like a seething fall from grace
Thee I worship...
Thou art darkest Gabrielle
Lilith who rode the steed
thou art pale Hecate
rising from Thessaly
Crush their unworthy idols
no church shall bar our path
seductive Evil drink your fill
of the bleeding christ in your arms
You are in my dreams
the darkness in my eyes
the rapture in my screams
Black Goddess arise
Nothing will keep us apart
we could kill them all
if our desire tore free
Our union is one, sweet, sinful Eve
And the night draws in beside her
as we embrace the dark side by side
I pour my soul to those eyes full of fire
to harvest the seed ploughed inside her
Archangel, snare the flesh
suck dry the ebbing wound
leave them lifeless and broken
my beloved...
Oh, how I craved for you
You so pure and other-worldly with your scent of Winter
am I to bleed myself dry to see your delight?
And the fear retreats forever
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
when my secrets are buried in thine
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
under seven stars we came together
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
to plot the new age's decline
(come to me...ARISE!)
Ishtar my Queen
come forth to me
and help me seize
my future from the House of Death
That in the release of immortality
I should slay their fucking nazarene
Ah...the lies...the jew...I kill for you
Hidden lusts will break the gates and swarm
as love secretes the thrill for war
the virgin raped shall seek to whore
She-wolf bare your snarling jaw
all woman, pure predator
wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell
like a seething fall from grace
Lilith who rode the steed
thou art pale Hecate
rising from Thessaly
no church shall bar our path
seductive Evil drink your fill
of the bleeding christ in your arms
the darkness in my eyes
the rapture in my screams
Black Goddess arise
we could kill them all
if our desire tore free
Our union is one, sweet, sinful Eve
as we embrace the dark side by side
I pour my soul to those eyes full of fire
to harvest the seed ploughed inside her
suck dry the ebbing wound
leave them lifeless and broken
my beloved...
You so pure and other-worldly with your scent of Winter
am I to bleed myself dry to see your delight?
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
when my secrets are buried in thine
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
under seven stars we came together
(come to me...Black Goddess arise)
to plot the new age's decline
(come to me...ARISE!)
come forth to me
and help me seize
my future from the House of Death
I should slay their fucking nazarene
Ah...the lies...the jew...I kill for you
as love secretes the thrill for war
the virgin raped shall seek to whore
She-wolf bare your snarling jaw

hmm...what can I say? The Black Goddess rises... "the lies...the jew...I kill for you" - sheer genius
One sees this figure a lot in Dani Filth's lyrics -- an "evil" goddess whom the narrator either fervently worships or desires to make his wife. Sometimes she seems to be a vampire: note the line "Am I to bleed myself dry to see your delight?" He submits to this woman/goddess/vampire in a sadomasochistic, even self-sacrificing way: "You are in my dreams/ the darkness in my eyes/ the rapture in my screams."
Like I say, Filth uses this image a lot. But of all the times this dark goddess appears, here and in The Black Goddess Rises II are where CoF do it best and most beautifully, with passion that's largely missing from their later work. The narrator alternately cries his utter submission and devotion, and screams his willingness to destroy Christianity in her honor. The background chant of "Come to me . . . Black Goddess arise" is breathtaking (and sadly missing from "The Black Goddess Rises II").
The song is just pure beauty. the words show his adoration in such a magical way.
Has anyone ever looked at The Principle of Evil Made Flesh album, and see how Dani has on a shirt that says "The Black Goddess Rises" that almost is on the precise same latitude as the song title listed on the back?
I think this was an awful album but this was the only good song on it.
The song is about THE goddess. The one that christianity forbide to worship and destroy her cult. Now the goddess returns and she call all mankind to return to pagan ways.
This song is the revival of the black goddess!!!! She will slay their fucking nazarene through those who worship her, and the church will despair, for their lies will be uncovered. Dani is but a minion of the goddess, but, as he has aided her return, she satiates his hedonistic desires.
she's the all encompassing goddess ancient mother. The one Christians fear with their life. But secretly desire.
