Biography

Extreme Metal band from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Cradle of Filth was founded in 1991 as a death metal act, however quickly transitioned to being a second-wave black metal band by the release of their debut album. Since then, the band's musical style has gradually evolved to encompass a wide variety of influences including death, black, gothic and heavy metal. The band's lyrics and imagery are heavily influenced by Gothic literature, mythology, occultism, and horror films and have both drawn a fair amount of controversy over the course of their career. The exact sub-genre the band plays is difficult to classify and is often a subject of debate. The band has gone through several line-up changes throughout the years and as of 2014 frontman Dani Filth is the only remaining founding member, as well as the only member to stay in the band since its inception. Current line-up: Dani Filth (Daniel Lloyd Davey) - Vocals (1991 – ) Marthus (Martin Škaroupka) – Drums, keyboard (2006 – ) Daniel Firth – Bass (2012 – ) Ashok (Marek Šmerda) – Guitar (2014 – ) Donny Burbage – guitars (2022 – ) Zoe Marie Federoff – Keyboard, vocals (2022 – )

LYRICS

I‘m waiting in my cold cell
when the bell begins to chime
reflecting on my past life
and it doesn’t have much time
cos at 5 o’clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

motherfuckers

when the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
of a world that has gone very wrong for me

can it be there’s been some sort of error
hard to stop that surmounting terror
is it really the end not some crazy dream

somebody please tell that I’m dreaming
it’s not so easy to stop from screaming
but words escape me when I try to speak

tears flow but why am I crying
after all am I not afraid of dying
don’t I believe that there never is an end

as the guards march me out to the courtyard
someone calls from a cell ‘God be with you‘
if there’s a God why has he let me die

as I walk all my life drifts before me
and though the end is near I’m not sorry
catch my soul it’s willing to fly away

mark my words please believe my soul lives on
please don’t worry now that I have gone
I’ve gone beyond to see the truth

when you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you’ll begin to understand
life down there is just a strange illusion

yeah, hallowed be thy name
yeah, hallowed be thy name
