At the Gates - The Nightmare Of Being

Eternal Winter of Reason

Primordial insignificance
The inner presence of death
Testimony to our futility
Beyond the personal self

From glacial silence deaf
Baptized in the form of death

Like the hunger of a tempest blind
Like into open graves
We keep falling

The absolute, the phenomena
Eternal winter of reason
The emptiness, the indifference
Eternal winter of reason

Irrevocable, all-devouring
Our lives inverted through time
The cyclopean fabrications
Our death it roars in our minds

The hallucinations
Preserve the illusion
Disembodied, eternal
We open to death

Irrevocable, all-devouring

The absolute, the phenomena
Eternal winter of reason
The emptiness, the indifference
Eternal winter of reason
