At The Gates Lyrics

Through the Red Lyrics

Music: Alf/Anders/AT THE GATES

Lyrics: Alf/Tomas

Catch the rainbow if you can

It will always be ahead of you

Years passing swifter than you ever thought

Today will soon be behind you

and the future remains out of reach [, out of reach]

Hunting the sun, setting at the horizon

When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul

The key of light, the solution of all

I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality

and as I dreamed of lilies white

in the shade of a birch

they withered in the frost of awakening

Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth

Silent explosions in my universe of pain [, universe of pain, pain]

Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude

and let me follow where daydreams go,

when ambitions fail

[Years passing swifter than you ever thought

Today will soon be behind you

and the future remains out of reach, out of reach]

Watch the sky, there is the proof of your transcience,

the stars that saw the birth of our ancestors

shall watch our descendants last steps on earth

So, unnoticed we will pass away,

like a flickering in the perpetual chaos

The timebird rose from its nest of bones

and thrust its beak into my eye

With the beat of charging wings

my transcience was confirmed

[Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude

and let me follow where daydreams go,

when ambitions fail]

Time perhaps for a salutary sleep

I still long for that silent land of dreams,

where the flames expire, where the spark fades

and hunger is born again

[The timebird rose from its nest of bones

and thrust its beak into my eye

With the beat of charging wings

my transcience was confirmed]
