Memento Mori

Album: Memento Mori

[verse]
I know that you must be so tired
You got a lot of bills to pay
Sometimes you break down and cry and
You feel surrounded by dismay

Then you think of the times you failed
And the life that you never had
"What went wrong? Is my life derailed?"
You don't want to get out of bed

[pre-chorus]
May these words fill your weary soul
There is still time to write your story
In which you get the leading role
Keep this in mind: "Memento Mori"

[chorus]
Don't feed the bad thoughts in your head.
Don't waste your life in futile worry
Ask: "will it matter when I'm dead?"
'Cause in the end... Memento Mori (Memento Mori)

Someday we all will turn to dust
And leave behind all shame and glory
While we're carried by the gust
That's how it ends: Memento Mori (Memento Mori)

[instrumental]

[verse]
When did you last hug your mother
And tell your children "I love you"
And have a nice talk with your brother
And show your love to your spouse too?

Think of your family and your friends
What were the last words that you said?
What if you don't meet them again?
What would you like to say instead?

[pre-chorus]
Harsh words you spoke can't be unsaid
But you can always say "I'm sorry"
Apologize and lower your head
That's the one truth: Memento Mori

[chorus]
Don't feed the bad thoughts in your head
Don't waste your life in futile worry
Ask: "will it matter when I'm dead?"
'Cause in the end... Memento Mori (Memento Mori)

Someday we all will turn to dust
And leave behind all shame and glory
While we're carried by the gust
That's how it ends: Memento Mori. (Memento Mori)

[outro]
You'll never know if you will have another day
Another chance to tell the words you want to say
The wind of fate is not a breeze but a cyclone
And snatches you just like a leaf the gust has blown
