Memento mori
Remember you must die.
Memento mori
Remember you must die.
Like the earth beneath your feet, you will crumble and decay
Giving life and home to saprophyte.
Remember you must die
A ballad, incomplete,
coming to an abrupt end
Giving no closure to the beat
Remember you must die
As everyone who has before,
No gods will feed you life
Your blood shall not be ichor
Remember you must die
With all your memories collapsing,
No thought of yours will remain
Your self not everlasting
Remember you must die
Leaving it all behind
Like a trail of crumbs left
For someone once loved to find
Remember
You must die.
