Funeral In Carpathia (Dusk And Her Embrace Version) Lyrics
candelabra snuffed prey - silhouette wedded
Nightfall take my hand
Seduce me with silky timbered limbs
Grant me thy dark command
Over the peaks framing tapestries
Of thick forest dusk has filled
With lucifugous kisses enwrathed in mist
Creeping like violations from the shadows
to kill
Lucretia
Is my love in vain
When thy tears bleed sweeter
Than the midsummer rain
Bewinged, infested belfries
Toll o'er the sobbing throng
A writhe of lethargic, terrored nudes
Whipped and welted neath the barbed windsong...
(In sadden paradise
Ancestral legacies linger on...)
I am He
The crowned and conquering darkness
Satan robbed in ecumenical filth
Livid Bacchus sustained by bridal echelons of sylph
This wintry eve when the snow glistens deep
And sharppened turrets wed the jewless sky
I shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep
Embroidered by these words malaresia scribed...
"Beauty slept and angels wept
For her emortal soul
In this repose, all evil chose
To claim her for their very own"
Carpathia
The pleasured dead speak of her
In necromantic tongue
When ambered daylights are done
Masterbating in their graves
On her zenith to come
This catafalque night when awed stars report
Their absence from the heavinly brow
Crippled seraph shalt cower in illustrious courts
Whilst the cloaked maelstrom resounds throughout
"How the storm it fulfills
My heart, though unhealed
Celestial knives ebonied
And wild woods thrill
Yet far fiercer still
her lustre eviscerates me"
Carpathia
Priapic lovers twist in concert with Her
Covenants are struck, jagged lightning fellates
The path towards the castle weary innocence takes
I rule as Master here
Where feral hordes impart my temper
Love sank wounded when i, betrayed
Saw death etch cruelly, upon my lineage
"Usher the spite seething Draconist
And commit this world to thy ancient
Sovereignty"
Erubescent veil descend
Psalmed sunset thus portends
And laid to rest, i now am blessed
With this darkness... Forever more
Supreme Vampiric Evil
Nightfall take my hand
Seduce me with silky timbered limbs
Grant me thy dark command
Over the peaks framing tapestries
Of thick forest dusk has filled
With lucifugous kisses enwrathed in mist
Creeping like violations from the shadows
to kill
Is my love in vain
When thy tears bleed sweeter
Than the midsummer rain
Bewinged, infested belfries
Toll o'er the sobbing throng
A writhe of lethargic, terrored nudes
Whipped and welted neath the barbed windsong...
Ancestral legacies linger on...)
The crowned and conquering darkness
Satan robbed in ecumenical filth
Livid Bacchus sustained by bridal echelons of sylph
And sharppened turrets wed the jewless sky
I shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep
Embroidered by these words malaresia scribed...
For her emortal soul
In this repose, all evil chose
To claim her for their very own"
The pleasured dead speak of her
In necromantic tongue
When ambered daylights are done
Masterbating in their graves
On her zenith to come
Their absence from the heavinly brow
Crippled seraph shalt cower in illustrious courts
Whilst the cloaked maelstrom resounds throughout

"Beauty slept and angels wept For her emortal soul In this repose, all evil chose To claim her for their very own"
Damn that gives me shivers every time I hear it.. This song is just a Masterpiece.. it's awsome... COF is soo cool....
And Erudite Stranger, I dont see Dracula in this song at all.......
See Cruelty and the Beast. Who is this song about? None other than Elizabeth Bathory. Lived in the Carphatian region after being married off to an aristocratic soldier. Elizabeth Bathory inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula. Bram thought of making the vampire Elizabeth herself, but later changed it to the male Vlad Tepes Dracul-a.
But about this song...Freaking fucking awesome! I love this song, along with Lustmord and Wargasm. Two truly magnificent songs.
i saw that on the other funeral in carpathia someone got the song mixed up from the original version and the be quick or be dead version. well, for lyrical purposes or reading pleasure i bring to you the original version of funeral in carpathia
I think this song is a masterpiece. I love the orchestra & the riffs, just amazing talent. These guys are so anti christain, it's great. I'm ok with any other religion, but christains complain all the fucking time. Not all christains are like that, so that's cool. This is my favorite song ever!
is there some link in the song to the story of dracula? because dracula did live in the carpathian mountains... This is about Dracula!
Wait a minute? According to who Dracula lived in the Carpathian mountains? Bram Stoker, or did Vlad Tepes live there.
OMG this songs starting to come together now. Okay, my guess now is this song is about the death of Elizabeth Bathory, as about 1/4 of all Cradle songs are about.
"And Erudite Stranger, I dont see Dracula in this song at all......"
"Supreme Vampiric Evil"
"And Erudite Stranger, I dont see Dracula in this song at all....... " clearly this song is about dracula, or at least vlad "tepes" Dracul. firstly "nightfall take my hand" is a reference to how vampires are embraced by nightfall and become creatures of the night. "creeping from the shadows to kill" shows how vampires creep from the shadows to kill their victims. secondly "I shrug off the shroud of preternatural sleep" shows being immortal and undead as the "preternatural sleep" is most likely death, hence he is a vampire. thirdly carpathia(15th century romania) is where vlad was thought to have lived, a clear reference to him. fourthly a "Draconist" was someone of the order of the dragon, which vlad tepes was which gave him the name dracula. fifthly "death etch cruelly, upon my lineage" means that death became part of his kinship (descent) so his children were vampires sixthly "blessed with darkness forever more" means that he has been "blessed" by eternal darkness ie vampyrism and most obviously as Necrophagus2Coming said, "supreme vamyric evil"
The song definately has vampiric references, but I wouldn't say specifically Dracula. And to Necrophagous2Coming, saying that 1/4 of their songs is about Bathory is quite off. They dedicated an album to her, and have probably written a few other songs/refereces to her, but thats it.
surely this song is about the rape of Lucretia and the fall of the Roman republic?
