At The Gates - The Mirror Black lyrics



Tracks



01. The Mirror Black

To perish in dreamless sleep
Dragged through the waste
Doomed, from arrogance blind
Fragmentation of all form

(Celestial breath)
(Disguises lost)
(Clawing at harmonies dead)
(Eyes drained by time)
(Beneath dead waves)
(Out of the mirror black)

Through aeons, crowned in death
And phosphorous doom
Insidious, dominion black
A labyrinth of tombs

As the sentences swarm
In permanent light
The reign of the feverish dream
Hearts of darkness beating fast
Out of the mirror black

As the sentences swarm
In permanent light
Out of the mirror black

Out of the mirror black...

02. Daggers Of Black Haze

Masked in merciful weakness
A tribute of ritual prey
The frozen surface cracks
Dressed in iconic grace

Bottomless the void veiled in smoke
Floods the pit of dreams
The martyrdom of perfection
A phantom construction dead

The anesthesia of repetition
Let monotony and isolation reign
Will out persistence fade like daggers?
(Daggers) daggers of black haze

Mute now, the anthems and dogmas
Cynicism reproduced
The reliefs watch unseen
In winding and rigid shapes

An ideology solidified
The fragments lost in time
From within inaccessible walls
Their elitism starves us... blind

Unending eye
They watch unseen
Starving for
Themselves in me

Masked in merciful weakness
A tribute of ritual prey
The frozen surface cracks

Mute now, the anthems and dogmas
Cynicism reproduced
The reliefs they watch unseen

Will out persistence fade like daggers?
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers) daggers of black haze
(Daggers, daggers) daggers of black haze
