Eternity
Wolfen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buzzing machines, tracheal respiration
Reaching for the end, nal destination
Arti cial person, no communication
Memories are gone, no more explication

Your time is running out
Just scream and shout
You are better of dead
Let him go ahead

You are on the waterside of death
How can you reach the sea of eternity?

Tubes into your body, dialyzing blood
Looking for the at line, brain activity doesnt stop
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Elongate your disease, slow acceleration

Your time is running out
Just scream and shout

You are better of dead
Let him go ahead





You are on the waterside of death
How can you reach the sea of eternity?
