At The Gates - The Night Eternal Lyrics






The walls of a poem like the foldin' of wings!
They burn through the base of the skull!

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

The blackness throbbin'
Foul & unrestrained
Under the seafloor!
Against the white sand

Where the land has been drinkin'
All our blood & regret
Our words are like quicksand!
Against the endless sky

The poisonous darkness!
In solid silence
Like rivers of ice!
We burn like blindin' 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
Trace-less through the air!

    The walls of a poem like the foldin' of wings!

    Fantastic video by Costin Chioreanu from Romania

  16. M.... ....

    Some of it sounds kinda like Immortal.

  17. m.... ....

    anyone else hear The Haunted - Leech at 4:24?

  18. L.... F....

    Wow this almost beats meshuggahs heaviness...almost

  19. A.... B....

    At The Gates are still a living legacy of Melodic Death Metal! Hail masters!! \m/

  20. x.... ....

    Does anyone has some interpretation of this video? I'm especially curious about the final part - when the flying head comes into play.

    I noticed something which resembles tears in 3:22. This head flows towards the truth about itself through the realms of aestetics (3:28) and religion (3:40). Behind the faith it finds knowledge of the scientific kind (the strange signs in 3:52) and ultimately nothing. In 4:08 the world starts to collapse and snow (death?) appears. The head has to die lonely and it longs for the undiscovered truth about itself (?? - I'm thinking about the hand in 4:44 now).

    x.... ....

    Hmm...The lyrics are confusing. Like poetry. The head first seems evil and to hide from, then almost sympathetic and to be pitied. Like ourselves as we all know nothing?

    x.... ....

    Why do the strange symbols have anything to do with strange? The only thing I recognize is a badly drawn diode circuital symbol

    x.... ....

    they say At The Gates stuff is for the matured listener, in reality their songs replicate the less successful stuff from the first four records (which were all unsuccessful except Slaughter). This is their teenage crap revamped, nothing much to understand here. Bunch of wankers.

  21. A.... H....

    This world sucks. I have a video of my bearded dragon that has 300,000 hits and an official At the Gates video has 100,000? There are many more stupid people than smart ones. At the Gates is amazing.

  22. R.... P....

    grande at the gates. en este disco conceptual...rindiendo honores a estos grandes escritores y su obra, que fue puntal de un movimiento literario único y revolucionario....

  23. A.... S....

    It's true that Tompa sounds more like a hardcore vocalist in this album.

  24. R.... I....

    absolutely one of my many favorites of~ At the gates

  25. S.... S....

    1:38 "The black man's robbin'! Fro! And unrestrained!"

  26. T.... ....

    1 yıldır sıkılmadan tapıyorum lan bu şarkıya.

  27. A.... S....

    This band shows to many bands how a band after decades can be better, not worse.

  28. B.... O....

    The whole Album is fucking Great....

  29. D.... ....

    Dear God. This is one of the best ATG song ever.

  30. o.... ....

    fucking incredible

  31. N.... N....

    Traceless through the air.

  32. Z.... L....

    Best metal release of the decade!

  33. R.... H....

    Melodeath masters

  34. A.... W....

    This is how you end off a masterpiece of an album \m/ so much love and respect for these guys

  35. F.... ....

    Its so awesome that they chose this song for another animated vid. They couldn't close with a better song!

  36. x.... y....

    +Daxter ZA (DaxterZA) Agreed, one of the best albums of 2014, together with Behemoth's The Satanist. There's probably more still waiting to be discovered, too many releases to keep up...

  37. d.... v....

    -naprosto famozni,dekuji.....

  38. c.... b....

    one of the best out outros of all time

  39. S.... M....

    This video reminds me of "Iridium" from Dark Tranquillity

  40. N.... ....

    Wow - no mention how the guitar melody at 4:25 matches the guitar melody of The Haunted's Leech? When I hear it, it's the equivalent of someone singing the ABC song, but stopping at D. Very annoying.

  41. S.... J....

    lml so good

  42. V.... ....

    3:24 Pure darkness. One of the best outros I've ever heard. Right after Death's Perennial Quest.

    V.... ....

    Dude, I played Perennial Quest for a friend who only listens to rap and pop and he was so into that outro transition.

    V.... ....

    YES!!!!!! Those two outros! Those are my favourite two, too!

    V.... ....

    they played before behemoth and this song was the sets end for them, outro was amazing.

    V.... ....

    @JopezoFIN nice. Way to set off into the dephts of insanity that is the music of Behemoth :D

  43. R.... P....

    Its super heavy but melodic too..

  44. K.... ....

    20 лет я их слушаю!

  45. 1.... 9....

    great song;great voice, great video

  46. R.... S....

    Finally there back with another epic release!!

  47. C.... A....

    Great band,and great album!

  48. C.... S....

    Awesome song and video

  49. N.... O....

    Century Media 1080p¿???????Bravoooo por fin!!!!!

    N.... O....

  50. M.... A....

    legendary band who never been a sellout like the others....never disappointed their loyal fans... Hail At The Gates

    M.... A....

    +Maruf Ahmed Character is their best album imo. The ones after that I don't like as well but they're still good. DT is definitely one of the more consistent Melodic Death Metal bands.

    M.... A....

    +Morfeus nope,i didn't...I am from Bangladesh,coutry of South Asia....The first ever international metal band will be Eluveitie who will performing in Bangladesh on May 26th of thsi year....sad,hah??? :(

    M.... A....

    @Maruf Ahmed wow, that is sad, mate

    M.... A....

    Maruf Ahmed Rotting Christ has been performing in your country twice mate.

    M.... A....

    +Maruf Ahmed, If you ever come to UK let me know, we will get you your fix of metal shows! xD \m/

  51. R.... &....

    What the fuck happened to the vocalist? The music is great but the voice is disappointing. Damn . I'll look for the entire album though.

  52. C.... B....

    Esas melodías y arreglos de guitarras al final son TODO ...

  53. A.... S....

    At The Gates what a wonderful come back! Enjoy also HaddaH, melodic death metal from Italy!

  54. L.... P....

    Costin Chioreanu : One the best artists of this decade . A.T.G were lucky to use him here in their sweet '' the night eternal'' song.

  55. E.... R....

    Great song, great album.

  56. D.... D....

    What kind of scream Is that?

    D.... D....

    +Daniel Davis fry vocals ...that's just a guess. But it sounds like the high end version of a fry vocalist.

    D.... D....

    They where heavyily influenced by black metal, might be from there

    D.... D....

    The raspyness sounds quite fry-like but i honestly think its falsechord its what he used before and he still sounds mostly the same.

  57. d.... ....

    Lyrics, music and video make up for something really special with this song. Unique aestethic, deep and original.

  58. T.... C....

    I didn't think there'd be a video for this song, but here it is and it's pretty damn cool. Love the song itself too. The instrumental at the end has been stuck in my head for weeks.

  59. E.... A....

    I love all the content behind At War with Reality and this video is a great add to my list. Great, Costin!

  60. O.... ....

    This reminds me of Mastodon for some reason. Still, pretty damn good track, happy to see they've still got it.

  61. Y.... F....

    pfff no superan a starkill

    Y.... F....

    At The Gates y Children Of Bodom son los padres de Starkill

  62. J.... ....

    Masterpiece.

  63. p.... ....

    this was awesome...video was great

  64. L.... ....

    Beautiful. No need to have violence to make a death metal video.

  65. R.... -....

    Hell the fuck yeah!!! \m/

  66. E.... Z....

    Perfecto!

  67. A.... W....

    The instrumental in the beginning reminded me a little bit of Immortal but I liked it.

  68. L.... V....

    Awesome Track, I 'm totally fan At The Gates

  69. B.... ....

    Amazing as always. Great video.

  70. M.... k....

    3456. come thru it bro and lighten up.

  71. I.... E....

    I'm enjoy \m/

  72. H.... ....

    all the kids hating on the vocals.. you don't know shit about death metal and At the Gates.
    His voice is still perfect for this band.

    H.... ....

    soooo many new youngster youtube fans for so many classic bands huh

    H.... ....

    Is this shit called death metal?

    H.... ....

    Just a bunch of death core fuckos with flat caps.

    H.... ....

    @The Hardcore Casual yep, it is a fucking cool shit tho.

    H.... ....

    Lundberg's got these vocals, by death metal standards their not perfect anyway. for he sings like a duck or something.. take The Crown's Crowned Unholy, whatever the hell they had to do a complete makeover with John Lunstrand? ATG are money grabbing bitches now, trying to rip off their own glory days, especially off the weak albums like The Red in The Sky..

    fuck this band

  73. E.... S....

    The best song from At War With Reality

    E.... S....

    yeah by a long shot too, kinda, Order From Chaos is pretty great too

    E.... S....

    I gotta go with Head of The Hydra
    It really wakes me up and the intro reminds me of The Swarm.

  74. I.... G....

    Beautiful song and the best video they've ever put out.
    Definitely one of the best songs on the album.
    A true masterpiece of Melodic Death Metal

  75. C.... ....

    Hail At The Gates.

  76. C.... S....

    I feel like his voice would fit a lot better in Hardcore.

  77. P.... B....

    Amazing video for an amazing song! One of my favourite bands of all time, was an honor to my band to share the stage as upport band of them here in Brazil!

  78. M.... ....

    Sensational Intro,Epic Instrumental Section,but Awful Voice.....
    7/10 Video

  79. J.... L....

    the video has a deep meaning.....................but i didnt understant it.............

  80. S.... A....

    this is impressive , i like it

  81. C.... ....

    Just wonderfull

  82. 9.... ....

    at the gates always bringing it to the table!

  83. M.... B....

    the music is perfect but his voice is bad

    M.... B....

    Mohammed Bkdash bad he is the best

  84. J.... V....

    Such a sic video!!!!! Perfect timing that I just took a bong rip before watching. Can't wait to see At The Gates in Feb in California!!!!

  85. J.... ....

    I like the instrumental part, but I don't like his voice. That's just a personal opinion though.

    J.... ....

    Oscar Stenberg Most people don't know about the Gothenburg sound. It's its own thing,but now today it's known as melodic death metal.

    J.... ....

    Nice nice... a acceptance of different opinions. I found the right channel

    J.... ....

    I love this dramatic voice

    J.... ....

    If you pay attention to the lyrics you will find the voice a bit more attractive

    J.... ....

    Fuck that sack of shit of a singer.

  86. D.... J....

    One of the best releases of 2014!

    D.... J....

    +Daxter ZA (DaxterZA) THE best release in 2014 IMO!
    +DarkXSyndicate Yes this album came out in Oct 2014

    D.... J....

    +Jason Owen oh. my bad.

    D.... J....

    +Dino Hatemić There has been some really awesome releases in the last 2 years. Sylosis's new album was also really impressive!

  87. A.... D....

    Never disappoints!
