Black Metal
Cradle of Filth Lyrics

Black is the night, metal we fight
In darkness, we engage in the battle of heavy metal.

Power amps set to explode.
The sound system is boosted to high levels.

Energy screams, magic and dreams
The music and atmosphere invoke intense emotions and surreal thoughts.

Satan records the first note.
The song begins with the unholy recording of Satan himself.

We chime the bell, chaos and hell
We unleash chaos and open the gates of hell with intense riffing.

Metal for maniacs pure.
This is pure heavy metal, made for ultimate fans.

Faster than steel, fortune on wheels
The music is faster and more powerful than any material form, bringing fortune to the fans.

Brain haemorrhage is the cure.
This intense music can only be cured by an equally intense experience that results in a rupture of the brain.

Lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll
Sacrifice your soul to the divine power of rock and roll.

Freaking so wild, nobodys mild
Unleashing the wild and crazy energy with no self-control.

Giving it all that you got.
Putting every last bit of effort into the music and the experience.

Wild is so right, metal tonight
The music is so wild and raw that it is precisely right for the intense environment of the night.

Faster than over the top.
The music is faster and more intense than anything that has come before.

Open the door, enter hell's core
Invite yourself to enter the deepest depths of hell in the music.

Black is the code for tonight.
The night is dominated by the color black as the music emits from the darkness.

Atomic force, feel no remorse
The power of the music is like an atomic explosion, with no feelings of guilt.

Crank up the amps now its night
Maximize the volume of the music as night falls.

Metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
The music increases tenfold as it passes through the darkness of the universe.

Riding hell's stallions bareback and free
Riding without reins on the unstoppable force of hell's horses.

Taking our chances with raw energy
We take the risk of unleashing our energy without censoring it.

Come ride the night with us
Join us on our journey through the darkness and the power of heavy music.

Rock hard and fight
Rock hard and unrelenting, battling through the storm of heavy metal.

United my legions we stand
We are united as our own army, standing strong in the face of anything that comes our way.

Freak hard and wild for us
Be wild and crazy with us, no matter what kind of madness is to come.

Give up your soul
Surrender your soul to us and the music we create.

Live for the quest satan's band
Dedicate yourself to the journey that Satan's band is leading you on.

Against the odds, black metal gods
We fight against all odds as the gods of black metal.

Fight to achieve our goal
We fight our way through every obstacle to reach our goal of dominating the metal scene.

Casting a spell, leather and hell
We create a spell through our music, adding leather and hellish vibes to the experience.

Black metal gods rock 'n roll
We are the gods of black metal, ruling the rock and roll scene with our power and intensity.

Building up steam, nuclear screams
Our music is like the building pressure of a steam engine, emitting nuclear screams.

War-heads are ready to fight
Our fans are like war-heads, ready to fight with us and for us.

Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Our fans are a pack of black leather hounds, faster than the speed of sound.

Metal our purpose in life
Our purpose in life is to create and play heavy metal music above all else.

Fuck everything
We are so intense and powerful that we don't care about anything else in life.

That FUCKING LIVES
Anything that lives and breathes is secondary to the power of black metal.

LAY DOWN YOUR SOULS TO THE GODS ROCK 'N ROLL
We demand your total and complete surrender to the power of heavy metal, serving as a homage to the gods of rock and roll.

BLACK METAL
This song is a tribute to the dark, powerful and heavy sounds of black metal.
