One Bullet Left
Golem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Father, can you hear me?
My shattered life comes to the end
I pour my sorrow
In this shining bullet
And fiund myself

Once again set me free
Let my life and slip away
Once again set me free
And tear away my pain

Mother, please forgive me
My grief is a knife inside my back
I can't survive
I can't carry on
I regret to do this

Once again set me free
Let my life and slip away
Once again set me free
And tear away my pain

All that remains to leave this world behind
Is one bullet left
All that remains to hold my soul apart
Is one bullet left
One breath to take

I see my body in the room
And finally this fight is over
I sink my soul in the black deep hole
I wanna go

Forgive me!
Please don't hate me
I found what I really need
Believe me!
A blazing bullet in me

All that remains to leave this world behind
Is one bullet left
All that remains to hold my soul apart
Is one bullet left

All that remains to leave this world behind
Is one bullet left
All that remains to hold my soul apart
Is one bullet left




One breath to take
One left
