MEMENTO MORI
This soul instructs me now to find this life's purpose. Our space in time, a short sweet verse.
This machine holds me, helps to animate my lust, a finite course then body to water and dust.
Then the world has turned and time has passed again, to dwindle life this mortal sin.
And I confess I drift in time's incessant sea, holding plans, which smash on the coast woe is me.
Feeling guilty as the years are melting fast. What became of my young past?
Need to find a name, and carve it into stone. Find some pride, so I can say that I was known.
No one can escape, the pendulum's cadence. It counts the days until our last
Celebrate your life for one day you will face, oblivion and knowing you life was a waste.
Don't lose your sight make plans go through with it. With time, life, falls, we can't be saved.
Remorse for past, nostalgia, long to be. With time, death, calls, we can't be saved
One day this man will fade to grey. We're mortal, don't forget you're mortal
So don't regret another day. We're mortal, don't forget you're mortal.
I watched a season change, a creature go to sleep. A child dies, a mother weeps.
Terrified am I that Chronos will decide, today's the day there will be tears on my grave.
All the pleasures, memories and simple goals, they matter not, when the bell tolls.
But not to find them while we dance apon this earth, that is sad death is the end no rebirth.
