Beauty Through Order Lyrics

It's the feel of your blood
As it flows smoothly down my skin
Intoxicating my soul
Immortality, seducing me

Burning in your own hell, which now binds you to me infinitely
Spirits of angels don't weep for you enticing me
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink

Eternity waits for you
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink

Frozen in time is the ice flowing in your veins
Are you insane?
At your mercy they suffered while you sat there painless
Vile and shameless

Crowned you are now for the merciless sins
It's the end
Your beauty through order is where blood flows through you
Where it begins

Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you
Vanity blood

Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink
Young life striped down of all it's dignity
Sliced flesh pours out it's youthfulness

My lust will never be fully quenched
Your screams tell me that you're not prepared to die

[Lead: King]

Creature from hell why can't you see the things I see?
Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit

Biting the flesh, face my sick prelude
Now meet your frozen death
God did not do this
Heated iron bar I will insert inside your cunt

Mistress of cruelty, a name that will not die
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit
Bathing in blood, your heart, your soul, your god

It all belongs to me
God belongs to me
It all belongs to me

[Lead: Hanneman]

Murder is my birthright the bloodline proves aristocracy
Walled in, left for dead, your actions show no hypocrisy
My birthright, is murder
Birthright, murder

Birthright, murder

This is about countess bathory who killed over 600 young women and girls, drained them of thier blood and then bathed in it to hopefully prolong her youth. ( evile also wrote a song about this subject- 'bathe in blood')

'Creature from hell why can't you see the things I see? Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me'- she sees herself in the mirror as old and ugly, so bathes in blood to make herself younger

'It's the feel of your blood As it flows smoothly down my skin Intoxicating my soul Immortality, seducing me' - she feels younger and believes she can be immortal by bathing in blood.

'Frozen in time is the ice flowing in your veins Are you insane? At your mercy they suffered while you sat there painless Vile and shameless' - shes almost frozen in time because she keeps getting younger due to the bathing (in her mind anyway)and she is so evil, she has cold blood, almost liek ice, so again, she is 'frozen in time'

'Sliced flesh pours out it's youthfulness' - she brutally murders these women then drains there blood

'My lust will never be fully quenched' - she feels that she must continue to do this forever so that she may stay immmortal.

well, thats what i think this is about. its also one of my favourites from the new album.

"Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me"

This song is about Bloody Mary.

this is a quote from guitar world Jeff Hanneman: "This song is about Countess [Elizabeth] Bathory [the Hungarian noble dubbed the "blood countess," considered the most prolific female serial killer in history]. I know venom already wrote a song about her["Countess Bathory" from 1982's Black Metal], but this ones better. [laughs] The only problem I had was figuring out how to write from the female perspective. to be able to write our stuff I have to get into character, whterty It's a serial killer or whatever, and imagine what they were thinkin. But i've never had to get into the mindset...

Yep, Countess Bathory alright. facethewaste47 has it.

No OwensTheDrummer has it completely and udderly... wrong haha. It is about Countess Elizabeth Bathory.

Many bands have done songs of Countess Bathory like Cradle of Filth dedicated a whole album to the Vampire Countess.
