Memento Mori

lyrics

Try to ignore me
Try to postpone me
But you cannot decide
The hour I arrive
Don’t worry darling
Don’t worry darling
Although I’m meant to take you
You’re how your maker made you

Even the girl with the prettiest face
Will turn to compost at the end of her days
Dust to dust, ashes to ash
Human beings
Gone in a flash

Do you feel uneasy
Like you could be queasy
When you think of me
When you try to picture me
There’s no need to fear me
All generations know me
I have many names
But most know me as Death

Some reach old age, but all must die
Remember it, it’s in your design
Your identity will not last forever
remind yourself, and forget it never
Take not the flesh as an idol my friend
One thing’s for sure, it will meet its end
But consciousness is what will live on

Nothing’s meant to last
