Memento Mori

When will the light in my eyes go out for the last time?
Will it be tonight or when I've passed prime?
Can I cure the disease and comprehend death
Or make peace with ease before my last breath?
Will I suffer for years or die on the spot?
What vision will appear at the end of the plot?
Will I leave in tears nailed to a cross?
Will there be peers who'll mourn for the loss?
Will the confrontation with the reaper be grim?
Will it find a patient or a body no one clings?
Can I say my farewells to my beloved and kin?
Will I go to hell and be punished for my sins?
When my heart stops beating and life force is gone
All that remains is a bag of bones
Spirit underneath the dying form
Will it move on to find a new home?

Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Brave heroes die for the glory
Even great legends fade in the story
Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Love & hate make a cycle unholy
Recollect death and set your soul free

Fear of death force is a full of power
Some find a holy shelter to take cover
Seek solace in arms a of a lover
Have to face it one day
Could be in this passing hour
When it's time to die cowards try
To run and hide while lovers cry
Don't be late to meditate as hours fly
Find the inner source where powers lie
You can try to prolong but you'll fail to hold
On to the good health, avoid growing old
Don't go looking for gold down a rabbit hole
Gain insight into mortality to reach the true goal
Practice diligently as all soon will fade
Will have to leave bonds you made
Mindfulness will be to your aid
You'll cut through to reality with its sharp blade

Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Brave heroes die for the glory
Even great legends fade in the story
Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Love & hate make a cycle unholy
Recollect death and set your soul free

All my possessions have to leave one day
Will be separated from Beloved one day
Heart will stop beating one day
So I chose to let go more and more everyday
This fragile body is bound to decay
I might not wake up to see another day
These could be the last words I say
So I walk the noble path without a delay

Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Brave heroes die for the glory
Even great legends fade in the story
Memento Mori
Life'll not come to an end so slowly
Love & hate make a cycle unholy
Recollect death and set your soul free
