"Siding With The Titans" lyrics - CRADLE OF FILTH
Where nature's russet beauty grew the roses of Utopia
The stench of vented corpses floats abroad
These killing fields will yield to new horizons so Cyclopean
With the advent of our resurrected Lords
Siding with the Titans
Cast into the ancient dark of Tartarus
Below the underworld
These ancient bastards bore their agonies
Or locked in slumbrous nightmares
Twixt the spheres or 'neath the seas
They slept until the righting of the cosmos set them free
They slept until the blighting of the night sky let them loose on you and me
Welcome this return
Titanomachian and Vatican-hearsed
The mass enslavement of a passive Universe
In nary a day the earth was burning
Leviathans and Krakens
Colossal horrors rising forth
From oceans spewing Tsunamis
Like heralds of malevolence
Dispensing holocaust
The grandiose ballet of death and ravaged flesh
The span of Mankind shut down in one massive shattered fucking breath
A slice of moon thrust a fatal glow
On their cold relentless freedom
From core to crust and conquered pole to pole
Reconfiguring for a fecund second Eden
I had glimpsed this Hell before
This twisted fungoid Boschian garden of insanity
An infested Nevermore
Rife with delights to annihilate humanity
Gods fell down upon us insects with world-devouring maws
When nature's empty bounty died
I dreamt this tragic sight
We precognitioners just tuned the signal to you all
Amplified, the vision fried, pulsing magnetic stars were right
Vast gates drew open
What slathered forth began to fall
Siding with the Titans
I'm siding with the Titans
Siding with the Titans
Our last mistakes to which awake
Past masters, mad and cruel
Shalt witness the explicitness of their rule
But I shall be rewarded
And take my place amidst the black
For what else is there left to do save usher these monsters back?
I welcome this return
I welcome this return
Mountains of perversion, Elder versions and worse
The mass enslavement of a passive Universe
In nary a day temples were turning
On judgement day
I'm siding with the Titans
On judgement day
I'm siding with the Titans
On judgement day
I'm siding with the Titans
