Last Breath
Beyond The Dust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sink into the unknown

My hourglass trickled the last grain of life like a feather flying away
Death embraced me with empty eyes, I have to say goodbye

Living on the edge and feeling that everything is about to fall down
Leaving and you still have something to say
I don't wanna give up but I feel this power rising
It's tearing me apart, shattering me from life
Death always strikes from behind
But can I run away, can I run away, the arms of death are endless

Last breath, last glimpse of light
I know that it's my Last breath, last breath tonight
But I don't wanna break away from my life

Living on the edge and feeling that everything is about to fall down
Leaving and you still have something to say

Go, I don’t wanna go

Living on the edge and feeling that everything is about to fall down
Leaving and you still have something to say





I don’t wanna die tonight, I don’t wanna die

I sink into the unknown
I am descending into the mysterious, uncertain depths


My hourglass trickled the last grain of life like a feather flying away
My time has just run out and my life is as delicate and fleeting as a feather in the wind


Death embraced me with empty eyes, I have to say goodbye
I am now facing death, which stares at me expressionlessly, and I have to bid farewell to life


Living on the edge and feeling that everything is about to fall down
I am teetering on the brink of disaster and it feels as if everything is about to crumble


Leaving and you still have something to say
Although I am departing, there remain words left unsaid


I don't wanna give up but I feel this power rising
Though I resist, an overwhelming force is surging within me


It's tearing me apart, shattering me from life
This force is ripping me to pieces, separating me from the world of the living


Death always strikes from behind
Death attacks from behind, catching us unaware


But can I run away, can I run away, the arms of death are endless
But can I escape, can I escape? Death's clutches are boundless and inescapable


Last breath, last glimpse of light
This is my final exhalation, my ultimate glimpse of light


I know that it's my Last breath, last breath tonight
I am certain that this is my last breath, my final farewell to life


But I don't wanna break away from my life
Although I must leave, I do not desire to depart from my existence


Go, I don’t wanna go
I am being urged to leave, but I am reluctant to do so


I don’t wanna die tonight, I don’t wanna die
I do not want to die this night, I do not wish for my demise
