Lyrics At the Gates

At the Gates

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
