Lyrics At the Gates

At the Gates

Order From Chaos

As parasites we grovel - through the dust

A temple devoured - by the ancient fires

Autumn falls hard on restless flesh

Persistence buried in the sands of time

The grey man kissed the mud

Circular the ruins - in a dawn without birds

Crowned by the deities of death

Streets as cracks in the skin

To drink from the night itself

Webs of perdition - crush the rushing earth

The aching void lures - promising rebirth

Order from chaos - every thought a tool

Order from chaos - profaned by the burned and the dead
