Peace That Starts The War – Wolves At The Gate Lyrics Letra:
Scratching and clawing
These voices fight for my life they’re saying,
“This is who you are: you’re a fake, you’re a sham, you aren’t fooling

no one

”
No one can condemn me for a debt or crime that has been paid off
Nothing divides or separates

Cut me open till it’s all run dry
Kill the life of death that’s in my eye
Open up my aching ribs and crush this stone until it truly lives
This is the peace that starts the war

Screaming and growling
These voices fight for their life they’re claiming,
“Help is retreating. You are lost, all alone, with a hope that’s dead and

conquered

”
“Conquered” is the name that’s placed upon the hell that waited for me
Death is dead and loosened its grip

Cut me open till it’s all run dry
Kill the life of death that’s in my eye
Open up my aching ribs and crush this stone until it truly lives
This is the peace that starts the war

My eyes are fixed on the final war
All I see is peace, war

Wolves At The Gate – Peace That Starts The War

Anathema (Letra) – Wolves At The Gate
Letras da musica:
I’m lying barren in my own blood
It’s drowning me like a rushing flood
A wave of crimson eclipse my eyes
No sign of pity here

My lips are silenced with blistering
The utter silence is deafening

Vultures fly above
They’re calling out my name
The vipers watch below
Taunting my crippled frame
Desolate is love
Surely a curse and my name
The same – a plague is all I know

The lover I had claimed
Has sent me out here to die
Ashes for beauty and shame my ally
The lover I had claimed
Has left me here to die
The wings of death black out the sky

Isolated in deserted lands
Isolated in deserted lands
Suffocating under dirt and sand
Cursed, despised, I am anathema!
Cursed, despised, I am anathema!

Glory speak to me
Call upon my name
Tell my soul to live, to live

Grant to me the life
Only your hands can give
I take a breath as I try to shout
I go to scream but no words come out
No shred of solace I’m left to die
No sign of pity here

My lips are silenced with blistering
The utter silence is deafening

The lover that I had claimed
Has sent me out here to die
Ashes for beauty and shame my only ally
The lover that I had claimed
Has left me out here to die
Ashes for beauty and shame my only ally

Vultures fly above
They’re calling out my name
The vipers watch below
Taunting my crippled frame
Desolate is love
Surely a curse and my name
The same – a plague is all I know

Oh rising sun, won’t you dawn on me
Descend just like a dove
Oh rising sun hear this sullen plea
Hide me, hide me in your love

Glory speak to me
Call upon my name
Tell my soul to live, to live

Grant to me the life
Isolated in deserted lands
Isolated in deserted lands
Suffocating under dirt and sand
Cursed was I and surely left to die
But glory became my anathema

The Aftermath (Letra) – Wolves At The Gate
Letras da musica:
Bold sounds rise upwards
Cold words thunder

Oh how I cried aloud
Though no one heard a sound
How I was locked and chained
But none could see me bound

For I spoke of peace
But I dreamt of war

Secrets have a voice
Screaming without breath
My heart speaks of its choice
Calling for my death

Mountains take flight, rain down from above
Shadows and night aren’t dark enough
Rocks and hills, cover me!
Rocks and hills, hide me from your face!
Rocks and hills, hide me!

I claimed to be rich
Truly, I was poor

Secrets have a voice
Screaming without breath
My heart speaks of its choice
Calling for my death

Choosing my own path
Shrouded treachery
Ignore the aftermath, living carelessly
Tempting you to wrath with infidelity

So where’s the fire? where’s the flood?
These guilty hands are covered in blood
Shouldn’t I die when your laws I deny?

Earth heeds not my cries
Mercy come or I die

You speak with your own voice
“come be not afraid
Weep no more rejoice
Punishment is paid? ”

I feared the one who bears all sin
Will you take me in father?
Cover me with your blood!
Cover me with your blood!
Cover me!
