Cradle of Filth: To Live Deliciously

We wish to live deliciously
We wish to live deliciously

Velvet incantations, standing ovations from the stalls
The torturous stage is a bountiful harvest
To which we stay in thrall

We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedtight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted (Enchanted)

Greatest expectations, enemy nations, all shall fall
To the latest gage, a venery future
Wherein peace remains the rule

Behold the golden dawn
Our world reborn to a sworn horizon
As from the grip of winter's siege
We prise ourselves to rise again
To live...
To live deliciously

We desire, we tire fate
We raise poetic spires
To clearly overcompensate

Bespoken 'neath erotic stars
Each to their own psychotic caste

We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedtight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted, free to every vice

Behold the golden dawn
Our world reborn to a sworn horizon
As from the grip of winter's siege
We prise ourselves to rise again
To live...
To live deliciously

We expire, best never wait
Lest these ecstatic fires burn as dreams evaporate

Just one stretch above the tar
So run amok and thunder far
In lust and utter bliss embark

We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedtight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted, free to every vice

Forget redemption for the time is rife
To face the day and empower the night
To revel dishevelled in the chaos of life
Embracing the playful and the slayful knife
So brace for the slayful and the playful knife
