Fragile, quiet and distant as flesh against another
Heroism suppressed, leavin' hunger in its wake
Tired even of sleep
A fragment of life, no more pain!
The nights they will drag on
These hands will not abide
A nightmare beckons leavin' death in its wake
The sickness is a dream
Imprisoned in the deep of the stone
Reality restin' upon pillars of dust
The infinite voracious arms of myth
Trying to even out sleep
With death in our way
The sickness is a dream
Imprisoned in the deep of the stone
Reality restin' upon pillars of dust
The infinite voracious arms of myth
The lyrics UPON PILLARS OF DUST of AT THE GATES is also present in the album At war with reality (2014)
At the Gates è stata una band di melodic death metal proveniente da Gothenburg, Svezia, e considerata uno dei principali precursori del suono death metal gothenborghese. Attiva inizialmente dal 1990 al 1996, la band si è riunita nel 2007 per un tour di reunion. L'ultimo concerto si è tenuto il 21 settembre 2008 ad Atene. Considerati pionieri del genere melodic death metal, At the Gates hanno influenzato numerose band successive con il loro sound caratterizzato da riff veloci e melodie orecchiabili, unite a testi spesso oscuri e introspettivi. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Blinded by Fear", "The Mirror" e "Slaughter of the Soul". L'album "Slaughter of the Soul" (1996) è considerato un classico del genere, apprezzato per la sua potenza musicale e l'atmosfera cupa.
