Lyrics:
"When light no longer rose to kiss me..."

"As flights of fallen angels wished me..."

"Torn between extremes of faith
The pious and the priests"

"The darkness answered like a falling star..."

"How will they see when the truth is blinding?"

"'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'"

"Dusk descended like a final curtain
On this stage only death was certain
Singing through the turrets
Like a velvet serenade
Played near a grave"

"Now the treetops bowed to whisper
In a thin Disney veneer
They knew the howls so exquisitely honed
Were those of children, disappeared"

"The devout faded out but the pagan remained
The candles burnt low and still nothing came
Bearing golden secrets from a cold malevolent race"

"As a labyrinth of razors led a blind man to the stars..."

"His last attempt to grasp at God
Lay blackened in a holy fog
And now there were only devils to pursue"

"So black was the magic in this tragical kingdom
That the superstitions grew
Wise to the wolves that surprised their children
Gagged in sacks and dragged back to
Tiffauges
It's roads now home to a beautiful stranger
Lifting her veil
Spinning her lies
Tender eyes, never-ending danger"

"And though she walks the forest trails
She's far from innocent or frail
She leads them down the path where darkness dwells"

"A beauty pageant for the gathering damned
Of slaughtered lambs and tortured screams"

"Whispers in the dismal mist
Are full of crystal promises"

"Nightingales sang of tragedy
Whispers were made of blasphemy
Vain, insane, this brute aloof
Drew tainted veils over bitter truth"

"Beneath the sallow moonlight
In a wonderland of pain..."

"'Who hears the tears of nightfall?"

"Back in the mirror, shattered vanity died
The curse even clearer on the sanity side
Banished from the lavish tracts of paradise
From Heaven's shored poured to the sore divide"

More to come in another contest-all those quotes are from ONE album. :s Have fun!!!

    Hey guys. The contest is over (obviously). This was such a hard contest to judge, because many in the finals deserved to place in the top three. Why do you put me through this insanity? lol I am very proud of all of you, and especially Mirabelle-Daisy, as she entered MANY poems for this contest. You rock! I hope you all will enter my other present and future contests. And I promise I will finish commenting on entries soon.

    Eh, not really a fan of Cradle of Filth. If you had more options from other bands, I'd probably be interested.

      Awww come on. You don't have to be a fan to write something. I wrote a poem based off a Garth Brooks song for God's sake. lol I will be doing more contests from other bands in the future, but this was one I'd waited on for a while. I hope you change your mind and enter something!
