Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned) Songtext
von Cradle of Filth

Forgive me Father, I have sinned
Darkness put her painted claws in me again
Her vision drowns like service wine
Whispered kisses so divine
I was blessed but now I′ve come undone, ahh

Storm clouds roll out overhead
Above their master
End of all flesh, end of all days
Love predicts disaster in her precious ways

I was burned, a sacerdotal soul
By the demon queen of my dreams
Infatuation turned to total control
Her rose was sweet, but her thorns were barbarous

Love me and worship me
I'll lavish you and ravish you
Fulfil all wishes and fetishes too


Many never want to see (to see)
Many never want to know (to know)
The truth behind their fantasies
Their deepest needs let alone be shown them

Forgive me Father, I have sinned
Darkness put her painted claws in me again
Her vision drowns like service wine
Whispered kisses so divine
I was blessed, but now I′ve come undone
Nothing left to do but run

Sodom rolls out modern death
On casters ever faster
End of all flesh, end of all days
The stars predict disaster in her bastard ways

Love me and worship me
I'll nurture you and hurt you too
Fulfil all wishes for my sad Aladdin

She comes to me like a sandstorm in an hourglass
A whirlwind of desire
I am hypnotised
To think beyond the pale
Beyond heart-stopping eyes and sopping thighs
I'm won′t to fail


A wicked spell cast over me
Addicted to her utterly
Despite the horrors that gestate
Beneath the beautiful

I′ll grant you life beyond your ken
The envy of all other men
Whatever vice will make you spend eternity with me
Satan's concubine
She makes her crime scenes shine from Heaven

Forgive me Father, I have sinned
Darkness put her painted claws in me again
Her vision drowns like service wine
Whispered kisses so divine
I was blessed, but now I′ve come undone

(But now I have come undone)
Forgive me Father, I have sinned
Darkness put her painted claws in me again
Her vision drowns like service wine
Whispered kisses so divine
I was blessed but now I've come undone

But now I′ve come undone
