My Last Breath
Valley's Eve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head is filled with emotions
I hear the hands of the clock and feel
The coldness conquer my body
Now it is noon and the sun is shining
Through the window in my eyes
Then I saw the man on the black horse
I have never seen him before
He was silent while riding
Towards me a plain black cloth all
Over his head and body
He's coming near and nearer
And my eyes are paralysed
With the blood on his hands I see him escape
My eyes are closing, my soul is rising over me
And the hands of the clock drown My last breath
last breath
My last breath
My last breath

The hands of the clock tick away as the person takes their last breath.

Worn out I'm lying in my bed
I am feeling extremely tired as I lay in my bed
My head is filled with emotions
My thoughts are overwhelming me with various emotions
I hear the hands of the clock and feel
I am aware of the sound of the clock ticking and the passing of time
The coldness conquer my body
The chill in the air is making my body feel cold and numb
Now it is noon and the sun is shining
It is midday and the sun is shining into my room
Through the window in my eyes
The sunlight is shining through the window and into my eyes
Then I saw the man on the black horse
Suddenly, I saw a stranger riding a black horse
I have never seen him before
I do not recognize this person from previous encounters
And now time is standing still Who are you? I asked him
I feel like time has stopped and I confront the stranger with a question: who are you?
He was silent while riding
The stranger did not answer me and continued riding
Towards me a plain black cloth all
As he rides closer to me, I notice that he is wearing a plain black cloth
Over his head and body
This black cloth covers his entire head and body, hiding his features
He's coming near and nearer
The stranger is getting closer and closer to me
And my eyes are paralysed
I am paralyzed with fear and cannot move my eyes away from him
With the blood on his hands I see him escape
I notice that the stranger has blood on his hands and then he rides away
My eyes are closing, my soul is rising over me
I feel like I am losing consciousness and my soul is leaving my body
And the hands of the clock drown My last breath
As I take my last breath, I hear the sound of the clock ticking in the background
last breath
My final exhalation
My last breath
My final moment alive
My last breath
The end of my life
