Moribund
Vomitory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To drown me into infinite rest
Caresss of claws is tearing through my conscious
Insanity shall join me in death
On my deathbed - still alive
I am mourning - in my fear
On my deathbed - final rest
I close my eyes but still I see the blazing light
Closing in to take me from my life
It welcomes me to find my peace for eternity
To dwell in the infinite light
Slowly dying away -
To fall out of remembrance
None shall fell the loss -
I'm dead to be forgotten
I close my eyes to see the peaceful light
Soul and flesh splits up in levitation
In the light the silence dominates me
As I leave the earthly life behind me
Hear my sightings in my terminal breath
The moments of the end is near
My fear is gone - all I feel now is relief
From this life of grief I now shall pass
On my deathbed - still alive
I am mourning - in my fear
On my deathbed - final rest
I'm afraid - to be forgotten
On my deathbed - soon to die
I am going - TO BE FORGOTTEN
