lyrics

Memento Mori

A solemn cortège carries my remains
A drizzle bleak and profound
Falling softly on my coffin
Gloomy tears shed on graves

Lay me to rest in dark tranquility
Strip the garments of my soul
Flesh and bones slowly perish
Beneath a blanket of loose soil

What dreams may come, when all is gone
From whence you came, you shall return
Shuffled off this mortal coil
Coz' in the end we're nothing but

Fading pictures
Ornaments on tombstones
Fading pictures
Sadness in Sepia

How vain the glories of earthly life
The transient nature of all beings
Through the maze of temptations
I seek redemption from my sins

I Reap the harvest that I've sown
Sip from the wines that foam
Forget me not or I'll forget myself
Before I taste the fruit of Azrael
