Lyrics
when dying draws near
Contemplating the approach of death
will you look for solace
Seeking comfort or reassurance
remembering the life that you lived?
Reflecting on one's life experiences
or will you laugh
Considering death with scorn or mockery
at death's rotten face
Mocking death defiantly
as if your fate is not sealed?
Questioning the inevitability of fate
are we to become
Pondering humanity's fate
broken and numb
Facing hardships and desensitization
and smile as we march to our end?
Accepting fate with a smile
don't give in to lies
Rejecting deceit and falsehood
it's kill or be killed
Emphasizing a survival mentality
so take what is yours now, my friend!
Encouraging seizing opportunities
do not despair
Advocating against hopelessness
there is yet time
Emphasizing the existence of time
before you take your last breath
Highlighting the moments before death
when the coffin is shut
Imagining the closing of a coffin
and the cold of the earth
Describing the coldness of the earth
reveals the secrets of death
Revealing the mysteries of death
the circle complete
Completing life's journey in a circle
you've played your part
Acknowledging one's role in life
now wait for the curtain to fall
Awaiting the end like a theatrical curtain fall
bow your head
Submitting to fate with a bow
and enter your grave
Entering the grave as a final destination
for such is the end for us all!
Accepting the inevitability of death for everyone
rage or lament
Choosing between anger and sorrow
your time is spent
Recognizing the passage of time
got no soul to save
Feeling a lack of spiritual salvation
cold is the grave
Emphasizing the coldness of death
my body is put
Describing the physical act of burial
into the ground
No mourning for the deceased
nobody grieves
Depicting a lack of emotional response
as they lower me down
Describing the burial process
the freezing earth
Symbolizing freedom from life's struggles
is open for me
Describing the earth as a liberating force
leaving this world
Expressing liberation from existence
finally free
Contemplating the finality of leaving
there was no light
Describing a dark and uncertain journey
at the end of this track
Portraying an absence of hope
from this temple of passing
Highlighting the finality of death
no one comes back
Emphasizing the irreversibility of death
as i wait
Awaiting the descent into death
for my descent
Heart still beating as death approaches
my heart still beats
Contemplating the possibility of resurrection
will I rise again?
Uncertainty about life after death
