At the Gates
Album • 1993
Jesus, no prince of my starved hell to be No way, my world it dies with me Far beyond your eyes they seek Beyond bonds of stars and skies The kingdom where nothing dies I am the stars burning in your heart Beyond good and evil, we will never part For every man and woman is a star 'Cause I burn inside you all, we will never part

When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns I have traveled through suns, And the darkness of the end Now I surrender to the void And join with the pulse of the universe The world burns with worms of fire The world burns The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ We were not born to follow We don't need your guiding light I tear the skies with my bare hands There is no death for me The world burns with worms of fire Sun or animal, star or beast Alone all the way to the heart of Christ I'm free to die when I wish I'm born from scarlet songs And when the time is right I shall forever walk alone The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ Worlds end, through a thousand suns

Catch the rainbow if you can It will always be ahead of you Years passing swifter than you ever thought Today will soon be behind you And the future remains out of reach Hunting the sun, setting at the horizon When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul The key of light, the solution of all I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality And as I dreamed of lilies white In the shade of a birch They withered in the frost of awakening Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth Silent explosions in my universe of pain Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude And let me follow where daydreams go When ambitions fail Watch the sky, there is proof of your transience The stars that saw the birth of our ancestors Shall watch our descendants last steps on earth So, unnoticed we will pass away, Like a flickering in the perpetual chaos The timebird rose from its nest of bones And thrust its beak in my eye With the beat of charging wings My transience was confirmed Time perhaps for a salutary sleep I still long for that silent land of dreams Where the flames expire, where the spark fades And hunger is born again

From cold storms I emerge to inferno Kiss me with your insanity, bless me with your plague Burn through my head The psychic treasures in the arena to find Dead symbols that walk through the dreams of man Non-divine, burning souls of red Tongues of insanity, here I am Lick me free from my dark past And open my heart for your joy I seek eternity where it lies to be found My life will not end 6 feet under the ground No rebirth in heaven where eternal sleep awaits We must seek our immortality beyond the seven gates Make love with me this one last time This one dead dream And rot we can as gods Together in a distant hell Burn me with the tongues of your love Burn me free from my bitterness and hate So let the light devour men And eat them up with blindness Non-divine, a restless soul Worm, goat, eater of gods Burn me with the tongues of your love Burn me free from my hate Set me on fire Again and again

Look the herons in the green billed water Their wet-ash wings wear medallions of patience We drift on... We have stories as old as the great seas Breaking through the chest Flying out the mouth Noisy tongues that once were silenced All the oceans we contain, coming to light All the dark birds rush from the river Leaving only the stillness of their language There are no clocks to measure time But the beating of our singing hearts You will know it is winter By the way your dreams tremble like stones When the wind comes through The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong

Ornaments in silent darkness The image of man now torn from its structure The smell of need The dwarfed soul of man Attuned only to flesh Suffering from frustration Alien to our own spirits We're naked even in death The dawn is yet to come To fill us with knowledge Pulsating waves of color Bleeding off into the black A whisper of red screams through the night The architects and the flesh

Slit open the skies and let out my stars The night dies inside me She's got ways to make me crawl I respond like a machine The sun shines from a thin sky And these feelings they die In the minds of the blind Patterns red of love so dead Under the floors, the dark woods they come back Dark they needn't be, but your virgin blood is dead The spark faded and gone All the stars in her skin The repulsion as I sin She's roaring through my soul All dressed in thoughts of flesh With a beautiful wound I was born It was all that I knew to own Stardrowned All the stars in her skin The repulsion as I sin She's roaring through my soul Sears my nakedness my flesh Stardrowned

The sun sets in a sea of love Stab your demoniac smile in my brain Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets Lock me out from my body and its pain The golden wine of the sun Deep rich purple, white and red The crimson vintage of life and love I'm drunk on the blood of the sunsets I watch the burning clouds Fighting to get hold of the sun Take heed, I am born, god of the twilight I am forever Proud, naked, full of sin Born where the flames never die Lost in the garden of stars "We used to sit up there for ages. It was like we were giving birth to a new world. A child of our spirits, Wild with light, alive with colours." "Have you ever considered true freedom? Real true freedom. We were the gods, burning in the eternal twilight. We were the end, forever." Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun

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

Ever-opening flower Feed me seven notes of love Let its wine burn through my veins And free my soul from its pain Urges rage my fevered mind Held back by dead notes, blind By the seventh sign of the seventh son The seventh sun sets forever in the dark sea of my mind Never I shall smile, never I shall die Sun be gone, end my world Enter darkness, rich of pain I'm eternal, forever to be free I'm one with fire, a thousand suns burn in me Ever-opening flower Feed me seven notes of love Urges rage my fevered mind Held back by dead notes, blind

Eternal flames won't cleanse my soul Racing through me, burning me Unpure I'll shine forever Wild darkness boil in veins so tired Through the red With the fires of dawn burning in my eyes Through the red Burning me All faces turn black I refuse to breathe Cleanse me -- The Nightmare Continues (Discharge cover) And still men and women drag out their lives in misery The nightmare continues Blinded, disfigured and mentally scared
