At The Gates - With The Pantheons Blind lyrics



Tracks



01. 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 out 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 eye
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 out persistence fade like daggers?
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers, daggers) daggers of black haze

02. 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 (prismatic) fevered seas (distortions)
Culture (prismatic) of shapeless dreams (distortions)

Crowned with unimagined death
Encircled, under siege
The black impious gulfs
Where no dreams reach

03. 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...

04. Raped By The Light Of Christ

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

05. 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 (prismatic) fevered seas (distortions)
Culture (prismatic) of shapeless dreams (distortions)

Crowned with unimagined death
Encircled, under siege
The black impious gulfs
Where no dreams reach

06. 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)
(Out 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
Out of the mirror black

As the sentences swarm
In permanent light
Out of the mirror black

Out of the mirror black...
