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
