Gilded Cunt
Cradle of Filth Lyrics

Your misery is worn as a veil
You hide your ugly, witch-like being with fake sadness

To hide bewitchment of the ugliest kind
You are trying to hide your true and terrible nature

In place of eve a bitter parody hails
You are a twisted and evil version of the first woman

Daggers from the swagger
You exude arrogance and pride

Of a sodomite's concubine
You are associated with someone who is immoral and wicked

Gilded cunt
You are a deceitful and selfish person

Oh, you gilded cunt
You are being openly criticized for your immoral behavior

Your thin pretense overstretched and sickly
Your attempts to seem innocent are pathetic and obvious

Feigns love and light a long time laid in the grave
You pretend to have love and goodness, but that part of you has been dead for a while

My preference leans to killing you quickly
The artist would rather just get rid of you fast

Scissored in the gizzard
The singer imagines cutting out your insides

That a heart no more maintains
Your heart is no longer pure or honest

But I am tied
The singer is stuck in this situation

To the labyrinth and the beast
The situation is complicated and involves many difficult factors

The one-way track of eyes
The singer is fixed on a certain way of seeing things

Black and grey like panzers
The situation is bleak and hopeless

Loose your shell
The artist is urging you to reveal your true nature

Shoot the mouth
The singer wants you to stop talking

The gates of hell
The singer believes you are headed for a bad end

Have often dropped their jaws about
You are a source of gossip and shock for many people

Satan's agents were perversion to bear
You are so twisted that even followers of Satan would be shocked

Side to side with their diversions
You engage in sinful activities with others

You use to guide my fingers there
You led the singer down a sinful path

Dirty little gold digger
You are seen as shallow and greedy

Cunt (Cunt)
The singer is using an offensive word to describe you

Nothing is above you save a boreal light
No one is better than you, except perhaps a distant and cold light

That halo paid for by a consummated ring of ice
Even that light is only available to those who go through great suffering

And below you, will I see you tonight
The artist imagines you in the depths of hell

Glower from your tower
You will be looking down on others with anger and hatred

Built of ivory and spite?
The singer wonders about the source of your wealth and hatred

For I am torn
The singer is conflicted

Between the sheets that keep me borne
Between comfort and indulgence

And the teeth of a storm
The chaos and danger of the real world

They reap then rape my stanzas
The difficulties of life are taking a toll on the artist's creative output

Click your heels
The singer is wishing for an easy way out

Three times six
A reference to the biblical number of the beast

The stars are fixed
The fate of the world is already decided

May I climb and get you one?
The singer is still trying to obtain something from you, even though you are terrible

The palace at Versailles never held your tongue
Even in grand and elegant surroundings, you are still outspoken and rude

Nor did heaven ever weather
Even in the afterlife, you will continue to be terrible

The crosses that you came upon
The symbols of Christianity do not stop you from being wicked

Dirty little soul frigger
You are seen as a perverted and twisted person

Cunt (Cunt)
The singer repeats the offensive word to further emphasize their disgust

Gilded cunt
The artist is calling you out on your fake wealth and fake morality

Oh, you gilded cunt
The artist is still criticizing you openly

Cunt
The artist repeats the offensive word one last time to end the song on a harsh note
