Végső Mérleg

By Kitharam · Melodic Death Metal

This song is about the final reckoning—the moment of realization that the rush of our lives, our struggles, and our wealth ultimately meant nothing.

This is a song in Hungarian; here is the English translation:

Final Reckoning

A penetrating gaze,

A meditative, quiet span,

A scent inside the mind,

The only thing that ran.

A fleeting memory alone,

A dust-covered, safe retreat,

A self-deluding thought,

A dream-built, hollow seat.

There was a time indeed

For "is" and "what could be",

Yet undeservedly came

The "shall" and destiny.

Always wanting better things,

Never owning what was near,

Greed or wild ambition...

...stained everything so clear.

Bloody, savage struggles fought,

Intoxicating love so blind,

Power and victories gained,

Torn desires left behind.

In the setting sunlight's glow,

Dancing motes of dust display,

Showing clearly to the end,

That it's all the same today.

We bring nothing with ourselves

Onto this final, earthly track,

And we leave with nothing too,

When life turns its back.
