English term or phrase: Waiting to leave
Hola a todos.

De nuevo, la canción The Ninja, de Cacophony.

A dying legend, waiting to leave, away from the past.
Una leyenda que muere (o agoniza), esperando marchar, lejos del pasado.

Por favor, ¿qué significa "waiting to leave"? Una leyenda no puede estar esperando marchar. Esa es una traducción literal.
¿Cómo se diría en español? A mí no se me ocurre. A ver si alguna cabeza más despejada que la mía da con la respuesta.

Le quedaré muy agradecido. Un saludo.
