Thoughts
Nightfall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit by me, my friend
Enjoy eternal life
Listen to my words
They might be wise...

Why people cry for the end
Why do they scare for death
While they're believing in
Eternal life which gives them
the cance to rest... in time...

Questions've made by
the secrets of my mind
While I'm thinking how I'll be... dying...

"Finishing your life"
"Finishing the pain"
It's a risk to believe what they say

I hear the voices of millions of men
Belong to the past they still remain




Souls in dust, memories craft
Release your thoughts I'll support you
