At the Gates
Album • 1994
Catch fire - just like a living disease Unholy desire - a world on its knees Our burning minds they are ridden of hope In a dreaming utopia - dead on dope A generation of obscenities We have lost our faith in our own creativity What is evil, but good Tortured by its own hunger and thirst? The living end The dwarfed soul of man The living end The sweetest of lies - its embrace so warm So void of life - one with the promised swarm Our burning minds they are ridden of hope In a dreaming utopia - dead on dope A generation of obscenities Our ignorance will be the end of humanity A dead nation under one dead god The living end The dwarfed soul of man The living end Written in napalm over genetic wastelands We move on, our fate is to die by our own hand A dead nation under one dead god What is evil, but good Tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

Can you feel the pain I feel? I've lost all sense of what is real I'm lost, in a world I detest Can you feel the pain I feel? This wound I've got will never heal I'm lost, in the serpents own nest Oh - set me free - crucify life itself And let your joy be the reality, Our suffering life - the dream Pain, the highest order Scorching the inside of my skin Terminal spirit disease An itch of thirst twisting my tortured nerves Kill the worm that is depression Join the leeches of oppression Unrure - twisted - logic now die Kill the worm that is depression My fevered - circle of damnation Consumed by this torment divine Terminal spirit disease Terminal spirit disease Your souls condemned to sing of life Must die to be set free

This track is instrumental.
In this cell that is ours there is no pity No sunrise on the cold plain that is our soul No beckoning to a warm horizon The sun shall never greet my eyes again It is our world It has been stolen from us, bastards No goddamn sun No goddamn pain I've searched my heart for love But all in vain No goddamn sun, no goddamn pain Exploring life without fear - Without feeling I am one with My torment and forever blind My desire clenches itself in a hungry fist And welcomes my soul to the thirst of dying Mother of all, come take your revenge The sun shall never greet my eyes again

Each day a mournful pity Life looks upon you with scorn Hopes life, visions elude As your feeble breath is torn Six sinister thorns of beauty The claws of the nondivine Our right to breathe Our right to bleed Forever denied What some seek in the depths of the unknown Need not be sought so far Concealed it lurks behind The truth of what we are Each day a fevered circle Life looks upon you with scorn Six sinister claws of darkness Strip your flesh to the bone

My veins they are open And yours to fill The beast of my sins Ain't easy to kill Drowning in love, by bitterness warped We sleep in different nights ugly and Drugged, rotten to the core but I Just can't let this die My intellect bund My will amputated It's a sweet little need Your need to be hated Ugly, drugged and fevered By Bitterness warped Your beauty rages through my veins Declaring war Drowning in love, by bitterness warped Stab your darkness into me Ugly and drugged, rotten to the core I see a truth you cannot see As smooth as the skin The skin of fire I'm at the mercy of urges You're my funeral dyre

My life fades, my visions dim All that remains are memories I remember a time of chaos Time of war As men began to feed on man Only the scavengers survived Gone now, swept away For reasons long forgotten Touched of a blase Which engulfed them all A firestorm of fear The answer is written in their bones All life ends I remember an old man Griping my wrist, he was dying "imagine", he said "looking into the eyes of a nova, The bursting flames, the roar of it's energy Frintly echoing down the corridors of time, Whispering: all life ends "Death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning, Light cast upon every secret, Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades And all is dark..." Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear His gaze already way out among the stars... Among the ruins of the past I shelter from the storm My mind is numb from the lonliness And the rain that never stops This wasteland, once a beautiful place Where trees and flowers grew Where deer, and squirells had their home Now rotting are their bones Where raging waters grind the earth I go to end my days The sea that witnessed mankinds birth Shall watch us die again Black and deep, Empty of life As in the heaven so below The sun has now forever set And bids our time to go I am tired And I fear not The cold that now descends As light grows dim, I bid farewell All life ends I am leaving now, my body stiff Just watching for a while That rigid shell, so small and weak A corpse on a broken cliff The stars are calling me now With distant, speechless voices And caught by a wind I drift away And nothing calls me to stay... I am ridin the wind that has no name, The fire that burns without a flame Caught by the spell on which all depends, All life ends The answer is written in my bones, All life ends

[Forever burn] To see the wormhole in your eyes fall to earth and plague my heavens black With fear I kiss the burning darkness Forever burn [, burn] Leave not only me, but every thought I think [Leave not only me, but every thought I think] [With fear I kiss the burning darkness] Forever burn [, burn]

"God" "Creator" Deciever, you are the sinner. I cast you down from your throne of lies And accuse you of a thousand sins Perished in the flames of what you call Hell I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever A thousand Colours invade All different, all dark A black sun is now rising Reality unfolds Kingdom Gone Absolute Spirit, we revolt against thee We are the serpent gods, Wall spawned from you I am the new messiah, and I will babtise you in sin We wanted a place in your creation but you wouldn't let us in With one caress I draw the life from your flesh With one stroke I render your bones to dust Kingdom Gone In the light of the black sun The seas of starvation start to boil A new dimension is born, We die, we learn and are born again Inverted we've lived our lives From our death to our birth Now the liers are awakening We are the children of "God's" curse With our caressyou greet the slaves of your creation With one stroke you punish us for your sins Kingdom Gone The black gate is closed Inverted we've lived our lives From our death to our birth Now the liers are awakening We are the children of "God's" curse I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever A thousands different colours invade All different, All dark A black sun is now rising Reality unfolds Kingdom Gone
