Notes:
don't take them too seriously, they are deliberatly satyrical.
The lyrics are largely archeic and wonderful to read as poetry, in tone with the aesthetic elements.
There is a film called Cradle Of Fear starring Dani Filth (as The Man), Emily booth and directed by Alex Chandon. All the Midian Era members had amusing appearences in the film.
