When Breath Escapes Lyrics - Sinai Beach

Now life has ended 

Played all the cards that have been handed 

And now eternity has a whole new meaning 

With it's no end and no beginning 

A heart comes to its last ticking 

Its blood feels like it's thickening 

And its mind can't stop thinking 

When life flashes before it, will it like what it sees 

Or will it wish to have done other things? 

And the regret will only add more to the flames' pain 

As breath escapes, the heart 

As breath escapes, the heart beats slower 

Soon, the nightmare will be over, or will it just begin? 

As once again eternity sinks in 

Life's last strength grips the deathbed 

Below then digs itself in 

I guess the understanding of life after death 

Comes with the absence of breath
