Lyrics At the Gates

At the Gates

The Head Of The Hydra

Language - self-destruction

Against the iron air

In broken, non-verbal strains

An all-devouring sand

The phantasm

We invoke

A monument

A final stand

We disappear

The words from our bodies torn

Irresistible

In all its bewildering forms

Deceptive - the images burn

Fragments of silent lives

Hunger of the dreaming dead

Imagination - the death of man

The phantasm

We invoke

A monument

A final stand

In blasphemy

The words from our bodies torn

Temptation

Death in all its bewildering forms

The tomb is the passage

As the light flickers before me

The head of the hydra

The charlatan denounced

We disappear

The words from our bodies torn

Irresistible

In all its bewildering forms
