Cathedral - Phantasmagoria lyrics
[Dorrian/Jehan/Jennings & Bianco]
 [Rowntree's Ad Lid into LSD.]
 [Here are four different versions of the lyrics of 'Phantasmagoria' that were]
 [send by fellow Cathedral nuts. Phantasmagoria means a 'constantly shifting]
 [complex succession of things seen or imagined', according to my Franklin]
 [dictionary. The lyrics themselves seem to be about the nightmarish appearence]
 [of some jellied master as far as I can pick them out. Having four different]
 [versions already indicates that it is everything but easy to make out what is]
 [being sung here. In addition to this it seems to me that Lee is changing the]
 [consonants in the words every now and then (I wonder if this has anything to]
 [do with the consume of this funny tobacco stuff...). Well, anyways, here it]
 [goes. Questions, remarks, and additions are welcome.]
[Robert]
 Hear the calling,
 Any other way.
 A faint slithering....
 A form blooming,
 A vision or nightmare?
 Shadows motioning.
 Bled hollow/holler (?)
 Agents so hateless (?)
 Eyes all grown ordained (?)
 Reflections frozen,
 Smiles so darkless,
 And for the days contained.
 Oooh it's creeping closer,
 Oh it's here again.
 CHORUS
 Break - your wealth - has fallen,
 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 ??? (seriously don't know here : o ) )
 Drenching down the halls.
 Bleeding angels...?...of heaven,
 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Awake...in blood and see,
 That sin has come to call!
 ???
 ???
 And hunger for the blade.
 A wriggle purple,
 Anguish and mourning,
 Squelching for the chain (?)
 I sunkered, greend lips mulching,
 Hunger trickling.
 Into the gates - The Jelly Master
 Wobbling, Jiggiling.
 Smooth and soft,
 I'm all sweet.
 ???...just too brave for meeah!
 Shredding, rotting in the face of death (?)
 ???
 A vacuum slide ---Awake Again!
 And all my heart,
 Absolved in filth.
 A rested anguish - sorrow and woe
 Into nothingness (?) - so low
 Paint earth this groaning, oh! (?)
 Mottled rapids ??? ...drowning snow (?)
 All lonely on the word alone (?)
 Towards DoomWards -
 Here I go!
 Oh so low
 Roaming through,
 This liquid maze.
 Slithering path,
 Ancient pay/pave (?)
 To the stinging place,
 The loving phaze. (?)
 Jiggling master,
 Take me on my way.
 All but butterflies here,
 This wriggling haze.
 Beyond decay (?) ???
 ???
 To nothingness and nether-peace...
 ??? - I scream and roar.
 (goodnight master)
[Justin]
 Daylight crawling
 And, the other way-
 A faint slithering...
 A form looming,
 A vision of nightmare,
 Shadows motioning.
 Led harder (?)
 Vengeance so ageless
 A rising ??
 [sounds like "scrotal king"]
 Reflection frozen
 In smiles so dauntless
 Another dirge contained!
 Oooh, it's creeping closer...
 It's here again!
 [Chorus:]
 (Rip your will apart)
 ?? farther!....yeah yeah
 (For this frown, this heart)
 Traipsing down the halls
 (Bleeding angel bleed)
 ?? heaven... oh yeah oh yeah!
 (wake in blood and see)
 ? has come to crawl.
 Rotting ??
 [sounds like "showness"]
 ???
 A hunger for the blade
 A regal purple
 Anguish and mourning
 Waltzing in the jade
 Eyes sunken
 Green lips mulching
 Hunger trickling...
 Into the gates
 The jelly master,
 Wobbling, jiggling!
[repeat chorus.]
 Ooh, smooth and soft
 And almost sweet
 ?? just too grey for me
 Spreading rotten in the face of death
 In ? of flesh, the end of rain (reign?)
 ???
 Await again!
 From the sky, when my stars have fell.
 And of my heart, a tolling bell
 ? of anguish, sorrow and woe,
 Into ? - so low!!
 Faint mirth is growing, oh!
 From the ?, droning so.
 Alone beyond the word alone,
 Waltz doomwards, here I go!!
-Oh, so low!-
 Roaming through
 This liquid maze
 Slithering past
 The ancient grey
 To the stinging placeCathedral - Phantasmagoria - http://motolyrics.com/cathedral/phantasmagoria-lyrics.html
 Longing face
 Jiggling master
 Send me on my way
 All but butterflies in
 This wriggling haze
 Beyond the gates every ?
 [sounds like "tray"]
 Knows only ? and these visions cease
 [sounds like "buttons"]
 Nothingness and never peace
 The flags of death that scream of more!
 [solo]
(oooh, jelly master).....
[James]
 They are crawling under your doorway
 A faint slithering
 A form looming, a vision of nightmare
 Shadows motioning
 Red horror vengence so ageless
 Arriving __ ordained
 Reflection frozen in smiles of darkness
 Above the dirt contained
 Ohhh it's creeping closer
 It's here again
[CHORUS]
 Write your will upon lost fathers(???)
 Yeah yeah
All this rot that is trapsing down the halls
 Bleeding angels flee from heaven
 Oooh yeah yeah
Awake in blood and see that Santas(???) come to call!
 Rotting shoulders, loathsome __
 Hunger for the blade
 A regal purple, anguish and mourning
 Waltzing in the chain
 Eyes sunken, green lips munching
 Hunger trickleing
 Into the gate, the jellied master
 Wobbleing jiggleing!
[CHORUS]
 Smooth and soft and almost sweet
 Target just to great for me
 Shredded rotting in the face of day
 In the bones and flesh and in the brain
 Our shattered soul awaits the death
 From the sky all my stars have fell
 And on my heart and soul a knell
 They rest in anguish, sorrow and woe
 In gelati(??) so low
 Baked mud is glowing on
 Bottle top is drowning sound
 Lonely on the word alone
 Holds too much, here I go
Oh so low
 Drowning through this linguid maze
 Slivering path, ancient grail, to the stinging rays
 Love it fades, jiggleing master, send me on my way
 On with butterflys in this wriggleing haze
 Beyond the dead __ tray
No __ __ this visions see
__ (couldn't get this bit!)
The blades of death that scream out raw
Jellied master
