At the Gates - Raped by the Light of Christ

From their 1993 album With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness


When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns

I have travelled thrugh suns,
And the darkness of the end
Now I surrender to the void
And join with the pulse of the universe

The world burns with worms of fire
The world burns

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
We were not born to follow
We don't need your guiding light

I tear the skies with my bare hands
There is no death for me
The world burns with worms of fire

Sun or animal, star or beast
Alone all the way to the heart of Christ

I'm free to die when I wish
I'm born from scarlet songs
And when the time is right
I shall forever walk alone

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
Worlds end, through a thousand suns

If I am to today admit "Slaughter of the Soul" might be their best, I will do it but only say that it is just... incrementally better in an exceptional way atypical of most bands who run out of ideas after one album, not that "Slaughter of the Soul" is truly superior to this one.

Just saw ATG for the 2nd time a few days ago at the mighty Bloodstock open air in derby, England and once again they were fucking awesome \m/

@mtot1234 Not believing in a god is not a religion. Why would I dedicate myself to the non-belief in god? What a pathetic existence. It's just an attribute to ascribe yourself based on an objective view of the world. I am an atheist. Nothing more to it.

Science definitely isn't a religion in the most literal sense of the word. People look to science to real answers, yes, but based on observation and accumulated data of the natural world around us. Religion does not do that.
