At the Gates - At War with Reality

The Night Eternal

The walls of a poem
Like the folding of wings
They burn through the base of the skull

Under the eyelids
The night eternal
Down fell the city of words

The blackness throbbing
Foul and unrestrained
Under the seafloor
Against the white sand

Where the land has been drinking
All our blood and regret
Our words are like quicksand
Against the endless sky

The poisonous darkness
In solid silence
Like rivers of ice
We burn like blinding fires

In the void of my spirit
Deep in the lungs of hell
To sink like lead

In the void of my spirit
Deep in the lungs of hell
Traceless through the air
