Machine of Death
Ancestral Curse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dying free or euthanasia
My travel into the world of livings
Will be soon ending
Oh! Doctor!
Help my transition
Only one hero can save me
Of my bed of thorns
Facing deliverance's ghost
Oh! Doctor!
Stop my endless situation!
With the machine of death
We have a chance to die
Final chapters wrote by my hands
With the machine of death
I don't want to be a deadless man
Oh doctor be my dead's man
I do't wanna stay a living dead
The other world is waiting
Oh! Doctor!
Help my transition
Stop my endless situation!
Let me change my horror's tale
This cutt off is my problem
I don't want to change my minds
For you… fuck you!!!
The lyrics of Ancestral Curse's song Machine of Death refer to the idea of the choice between dying naturally or through euthanasia. The singer of the song is facing their imminent death and looks to the doctor for help in transitioning to the afterlife. They see the doctor as a hero who can save them from their "bed of thorns" and the ghost of deliverance that they face. They ask for the doctor's help in stopping their "endless situation" and using the machine of death to give them a chance to die on their own terms.
The singer seems to be struggling with their own mortality and the idea of leaving behind the world of the living. They mention wanting to write their own final chapter and not wanting to be a "deadless man." They see the other world waiting for them and ask the doctor to help them transition. However, they are also angry at the doctor, telling them "fuck you" and not wanting to change their mind about their choice.

Dex Gallagher Yeah, just put every track from this album. I've been wanting to listen to the whole album from these guys. I've only heard a couple others from their myspace like way back in the day.
