Final Breath by Obituary Pending
Final Breath
Verse 1
Cold steel lungs,( breathing dust)
Every promise reduced to rust
Sirens wail like dying gods
Echoing through the shattered odds
(I taste the smoke, I taste the end)
The moment where the lines all bend
(No more future left to steal)
Just broken truth and what I feel
Pre-Chorus
Clockwork heart, about to stall
I hear the reaper through the wall
Every sin I never said
Now screaming loud inside my head
Chorus
This is my final breath
Ripped from my shattered chest
No absolution, no regret
I spit defiance with my final breath
Verse 2
Hands are shaking, vision blurred
(Every prayer feels slurred, unheard)
Built my life on borrowed time
Crossed every line, called it mine
(I stood tall on crumbling ground)
Ignored the cracks, ignored the sound
Now the sky is falling in
And I can’t tell loss from win
Pre-Chorus 2
Pulse like thunder, skin like stone
Never thought I’d die alone
(If this is where the curtain falls)
I’ll leave my mark on these walls
Chorus
This is my final breath
Ripped from my shattered chest
No absolution, no regret
I spit defiance with my final breath
Bridge (Slow, Heavy)
If I fade into the black
(I won’t beg to take it back)
Let the silence hear my name
Burned in lungs of ash and flame
I lived loud, I lived fast
Every second like the last
[Breakdown]
NO MERCY!
NO PEACE!
TEETH GRIT—
WON’T KNEEL!
CHEST CAVES IN—
STILL I ROAR!
DEATH KNOCKS—
I BITE THE DOOR!
Verse 3
Light flickers like a dying sun
(Every ending weighs a ton)
I see ghosts I used to be
Staring back accusingly
(But if I fall,) I fall upright
Spine unbroken, fists still tight
Let the void remember me
Not as weak—but as free
Final Chorus
This is my final breath
Dragged from my ruined chest
No forgiveness, no regret
I face the dark with my final breath
Outro
Air runs out, but fire stays
Etched in scars,( in blood, in pain)
When silence claims what’s left of me
I’ll own the dark—
My final breath.
