At The Gates
To Drink from the Night Itself
1. Der Widerstand
[Instrumental]
2. To Drink From The Night Itself
Out of ruins obscured
Unveiling Stygian art
Our naked and cynical stare
As we drink from the night itself
Eternal madness
Eternal myth
Reconstruction from within
The tyranny of chaos
Inside repression's eye
In the book of dead names
From skepticism born
Enshrouded with our wretched hopes
As we drink from the night itself
Eternal madness
Eternal myth
Reconstruction from within
Frozen resonated visions
Masked in comforting lies
With seducing rhythm blessed
As all opposition dies
Out of ruins obscured
Unveiling Stygian art
Our naked and cynical stare
As we drink from the night itself
Eternal madness
Eternal myth
Reconstruction from within
Eternal slumber
Eternal sleep
Reconstruction from within
As we drink from the night itself
As we drink from the night itself
As we drink from the night itself
3. A Stare Bound In Stone
Through the fall of creation
A death mask transforms the past
The contours of a labyrinth emerge
As dusk it clings to silent stone
Dead to all future generations
Let their strength now dissolve
The sun to me is dark forever
A nihilistic urge
As death thickens in their throats
Like fragments of silent fires
Like fragments of silent fires
The distorted hierarchies
Under boiling clouds
A cold stare, bound in stone
Behind the curtain of dust
As dusk it clings to silent stone
Immortalizing the suppression
Let their strength now dissolve
The sun to me is dark forever
A nihilistic urge
As death thickens in their throats
Featureless, elusive
Drowning in the silent black
Obsession like wildfire inhaled
Like fragments of silent fires
Like fragments of silent fires
Like fragments of silent fires
Like fragments of silent fires
Like fragments of silent fires
4. Palace Of Lepers
Reverberating choirs
A sea of faces black
A leviathan, in iron dreams entrapped
From the throat of pandemonium
An unrelenting scourge
Bible black, archaic madness writhes
The lingering
Presence of
Inescapable death
Into the palace of lepers
Citadel of disease
Into the palace of lepers
Fathomless the craters
Fanaticism masked
The phantasm, now drowning in ash
Aesthetics reproducing
A hierarchy intact
Propaganda, blind serpent's dance
The lingering
Presence of
Inescapable death
Into the palace of lepers
Citadel of disease
Into the palace of lepers
A clawing nightmare blind
A grinning march of death
A clawing nightmare blind
A grinning march of death
A grinning march of death
Chants reverberate
Through these halls
The corridors of doom
Chants reverberate
Through these halls
The corridors of doom
5. Daggers Of Black Haze
Masked in merciful weakness
A tribute of ritual prey
The frozen surface cracks
Dressed in iconic grace
Bottomless the void veiled in smoke
Floods the pit of dreams
The martyrdom of perfection
A phantom construction dead
The anesthesia of repetition
Let monotony and isolation reign
Will our persistence fade like daggers?
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
Mute now, the anthems and dogmas
Cynicism reproduced
The reliefs watch unseen
In winding and rigid shapes
An ideology solidified
The fragments lost in time
From within inaccessible walls
Their elitism starves us blind
Unending eyes, they watch unseen
Starving for themselves in me
Masked in merciful weakness
A tribute of ritual prey
The frozen surface cracks
Mute now, the anthems and dogmas
Cynicism reproduced
The reliefs they watch unseen
Will our persistence fade like daggers?
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers, daggers) daggers of black haze
6. The Chasm
Born of disharmonic sermons
Phenomena of the deep
Torn apart by phantom pains
In shadows veiled, our tomb
A language dead and dissonant
Awakened from its sleep
The ever-opening flower
This pantheon of doom
As we open the chasm
The sleepless, ravenous void
From the vortex of poisonous coldness
Starving and blind, they storm
Crowned with unimagined death
Encircled, under siege
The black impious gulfs
Where no dreams reach
The blind rage of our revolution
As we drown in these halls
Blasphemous, fathomless
Manifested within these walls
As we open the chasm
The sleepless, ravenous void
From the vortex of poisonous coldness
Starving and blind, they storm
Crowned with unimagined death
Encircled, under siege
The black impious gulfs
Where no dreams reach
Culture of shapeless dreams
Abysmal fevered seas
(Prismatic distortions)
Culture of shapeless dreams
(Prismatic distortions)
Crowned with unimagined death
(Abysmal fevered seas)
Encircled, under siege
The black impious gulfs
(Culture of shapeless dreams)
Where no dreams reach
7. In Nameless Sleep
The distortion, ceremonial
Apathy shaped like a cage
The poisonous cauldron
Emptied with feverish rage
As transparency tears
Through the dead, pungent air
Like storms from the dying past
Frozen circles of timeless despair
In a blur of black wings
They storm out of the past
Infested with the promise of death
Infested with eternal death
The procession never ending
The fatalistic void
In oblivion cloaked
Men forever shaped out of clay
In blind hallucination
Their irreversible truth
Rituals hedonistic
Resignation designed from above
In a blur of black wings
They storm out of the past
Infested with eternal death
In a blur of black wings
They storm out of the past
Infested with the promise of death
Infested with eternal death
Perfection dressed in crippled dreams
Dead rhythms, sharpened to the obscene
On fevered wings
Awakened from our nameless sleep
On fevered wings
Eternal death, to the lords of the keep
In a blur of black wings
They storm out of the past
Infested with eternal death
In a blur of black wings
They storm out of the past
Infested with the promise of death
8. The Colours Of The Beast
A hunger unleashed
Annihilating black
Born of crippling doom
In oppressive silence masked
Their truth carves a void
A night that never ends
Starving for the dawn
Ravenous, from nightmares born
In monolithic forms
Dressed in the colours of the beast
Stone flood
Into the sinister dawn
Cloaked in dust
The columns wavering
Words like guillotines
Clawing at your solid walls
On your darkness they feed
Phrases cut like sharpened teeth
Phrases cut like sharpened teeth
Phrases cut like sharpened teeth
Born of crippling doom
In oppressive silence masked
In monolithic forms
Dressed in the colours of the beast
Stone flood
Into the sinister dawn
Cloaked in dust
The columns wavering blind
Dressed in the colours of the beast
9. A Labyrinth Of Tombs
The pantheons blind
Ravaged from thirst
They tear through the skies
Through the blackest of nights
Violating rhythms
Far beneath dead waves
The shards of our culture
Abandoned and arcane
Our grave is the darkness
Our own oblivion
The silence pregnant
With a labyrinth of tombs
The ghost of man
Haunts our ravaged tomb
In this labyrinth of our doom
Disharmonic rapture
From forbidden depths
The cabbalistic scriptures
Engraved eternal death
And the pantheons blind
Still tear through the blackest of nights
The ghost of man
Haunts our ravaged tomb
In this labyrinth of our doom
Hunger
The ghost of man
Eternal
Haunts our ravaged tomb
In this labyrinth of our doom
Hunger
The pantheons
Eternal
Ravaged and blind
Hunger
A labyrinth of tombs
Hunger
They tear through the skies
Eternal
Through the blackest of nights
Hunger
A labyrinth of tombs
Hunger
They tear through the skies
Hunger
Through the blackest of nights
Hunger
A labyrinth of tombs
This labyrinth of our doom
This labyrinth of our doom
10. Seas Of Starvation
The voiceless, the blind
The cracked mosaic of the end
Fragmented, torn
In rigid shapes they descend
In cataclysmic darkness
The primal blackened void
Shades of black they swarm
Weathered monuments they will sink
Into the seas of starvation
Forever swallowed up in our wake
The tempest released
Streets they hang in the abyss
A sunset burning through
Through the waves of a darkened lens
Unspeakable
The fallen pledges
The never ending deep
Shades of black they swarm
Weathered monuments they will sink
Into the seas of starvation
Forever swallowed up in our wake
Insidious, shapeless
In archaic circles
Beneath a thousand-faced moon
Beneath a thousand-faced moon
A phantasmagoria of the macabre
A phantasmagoria of the macabre
A phantasmagoria of the macabre
The voiceless, the blind
The cracked mosaic of the end
Fragmented, torn
In rigid shapes they descend
Shades of black they swarm
Weathered monuments they will sink
Into the seas of starvation
Forever swallowed in our wake
Into the seas of starvation
Into the seas of starvation
11. In Death They Shall Burn
A spawn of the alienation
The unspeakable black
Our of the portal of guilt
The ominous, crippling weight
The language of the blood
In a fever black
Monumental and cold
The earth now belongs to the dead
Even in death they shall burn
Their naked, celestial flesh
From the throat of the beast
The architects of the end
In blasphemous slumber
Demoralizing doubts
Reverberating the mythos
The earth now belongs to the dead
Blinding ceremonial fires
Through the darkest of voids
Irreversible dogmas
In hallucination crowned
In death they shall burn
The vortex eternal
In death they shall burn
The earth now belongs to the dead
Even in death they shall burn
A sea of faces black
Out of the fathomless depths
The architects of the end
In blasphemous slumber
Demoralizing doubts
Reverberating the mythos
The earth now belongs to the dead
Blinding ceremonial fires
Through the darkest of voids
Irreversible dogmas
In hallucination crowned
In death they shall burn
The vortex eternal
In death they shall burn
The earth now belongs to the dead
Abandon the ruins of man
The wastelands we left behind
Abandon the ruins of man
In death they shall burn
The vortex eternal
In death they shall burn
In death they shall burn
The vortex eternal
In death they shall burn
The earth now belongs to the dead
12. The Mirror Black
To perish in dreamless sleep
Dragged through the waste
Doomed, from arrogance blind
Fragmentation of all form
Celestial breath
Disguises lost
Clawing at harmonies dead
Eyes drained by time
Beneath dead waves
Our of the mirror black
Through aeons, crowned in death
And phosphorous doom
Insidious, dominion black
A labyrinth of tombs
As the sentences swarm
In permanent light
The reign of the feverish dream
Hearts of darkness
Beating fast
Our of the mirror nlack
As the sentences swarm
In permanent light
Out of the mirror black
Out of the mirror black
Lyrics in plain text format
