At the Gates
Death and the Labyrinth
[Verse 1]
Behind the curtain
Laid to ruins
Words that drift
Into oblivion
[Verse 2]
With every dawn
The world deforms
And as we fade
Our truth it dies
[Bridge 1]
Our poetry of broken dreams
An abattoir of time
[Chorus]
Deep in the hive of the serpent
We shed the disguises we have worn
A curtain of madmen
We are the illusions we have torn
[Bridge 2]
Death and the labyrinth
Swallowed by earth itself
[Verse 2]
With every dawn
The world deforms
And as we fade
Our truth it dies
[Verse 3]
Words without sound
Fade away - as they are swallowed
Swallowed by barriers and walls
Like a swarm
[Chorus]
Deep in the hive of the serpent
We shed the disguises we have worn
A curtain of madmen
We are the illusions we have torn
[Bridge 1]
Our poetry of broken dreams
An abattoir of time
[Bridge 2]
Death and the labyrinth
Swallowed by earth itself
