Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time is running out as the beautiful sun is going down, darkened solitude
will show the way
No more drops of loss, no fear
Deliverance, warm embrace
Confined by misery, as I drift towards my destiny, sanguine emptiness
Anticipate the dawn, it's clear now where the line is drawn, creeping end is near,
eternal sleep
No more drops of loss, no fear
Deliverance, warm embrace
