Us, Dark, Invincible Songtext
von Cradle of Filth

Us, dark, invincible

Us, dark, invincible

Seize the night, before the fevers take flight
Cicadas drown out delight in this horny cornucopia
The stars are alight, we have desires in sight
Dark immortals, bedight in the throes of lycanthropia

Drink deep when dusk descends
The moon-kissed air that succours

Us, dark, invincible
Us, dark, invincible
We know our sins appall
Us, dark, invincible
Us, dark, invincible
We know our sins appall

We, the children of the fall
Dripping with gall, the gothic-scarred principle
Our balustrades standing tall
Us, dark, invincible


Freeze the day, let our nocturnal foray
Keep Aurora at bay from this candlelit utopia
As orchestras play, nightmares speak of the way
We′re painting over the grey in a dripping red sinopia

Bursting with flame, seasoned teeth never tame
We're first in whispered disdain
Icons for their nyctophobia
We suitor ill winds, incalculable sins
The face of vanity grins at our human race ectopia

Drink deep when dusk descends
The moon-kissed air that succours

Us, dark, invincible
Us, dark, invincible
We know our sins appall
Us, dark, invincible
Us, dark, invincible
We know our sins appall

We, the children of the fall
Dripping with gall
The gothic-scarred principle
Our balustrades standing tall
Us, dark, invincible


Hey
Us, dark, invincible

What fires die in the hearts of those awry?
And what mad embers arise
In the veins of the insatiable?
What dreams might fly
Through the mist and midnight skies
When our cold souls fantasize
On the warmth of walls now scaleable?

Never, never will we break the vows we took
When we swore to the dark
Never will the shadows bow
On the house of our ancient caste

Never, never will their rule renew
For when the day of reckoning is over
I′ll bring their severed heads to you
