Cover art for Lilith Immaculate lyrics by Cradle of Filth

In folklore Lilith is a female demon who attacks children. She was also supposedly Adams first wife who became a demon because she refused to submit to Adam. The word "immaculate"means clean or unsullied. Lilith Immaculate is about a queen who shows shocking similarities to Elizabeth Bathory i.e The Blood Countess. Who in legends is the first female Vampire.They are showing a powerful queen who is using her body to gain power. It is also showing the weakness men have for pleasures of the flesh.She has sullied her body and craves a newer more beautiful body for herself. However she is picky about it. She wants someone with a mind as deranged as hers. Hence in the video why the girls who brought her knives were killed but the one who brought her heart on plate for her was chosen. Lilith lives on through the new girls body she possessed through ritualistic means. It shows the cycle repeating itself. The necklace that she put on in the beginning was the showing of her choice to become what she was. Just as the girl chose to give up her body to Lilith.
