Lyrics At the Gates

At the Gates

The Break of Autumn

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 the 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 fall

Watch the sky, there is proof of your transcience

The stars that saw the birth ofour 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 it's nest of bones

And thrust it's beak in my eye

With the beat of charging wings

My transcience 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
