Memento Mori

As above

so below

Dismantled piece by piece

what's left will not decease

As within

so without

The seasons bring relief

let me live and die in peace

(Let me live and die in peace)

(Let me live and die in peace)

(Let me live and die in peace)

(Let me live and die in peace)

I will be consumed

returned into the earth

Only passing through

nothing left to hold on to

Like the thaw against the snow

into the undertow

Cut the chord and cast me out

and cast me out

It's a promise that you cannot break

Was your life worth dying for?

The universe survives on give and take

Death is an open door

It's a promise that you cannot break

Was your life worth dying for?

The universe survives on give and take

Decay is the only law

As above

so below

Dismantled piece by piece

what's left will not decease

As within

so without

The seasons bring relief

just let me live and die in peace

"Change

And everything is change; nothing can be held on to

To the degree that you go with a stream

You see

you are are still; you are flowing with it

But to the degree you resist the stream

Then you notice that the current is rushing past you and fighting you

So swim with it

go with it

and you're there; you're at rest"

It'll wear you down through skin and bone

through skin and bone

It's as if my mind has a mind of its own

has a mind of its own

It'll wear you down through skin and bone

through skin and bone

It's as if my mind has a mind of its own

has a mind of its own

When my heart skips two beats

I am hidden deep

fast asleep

The sea will part where oceans meet

Finally complete

It's a promise that you cannot break

Was your life worth dying for?

The universe survives on give and take

Death is an open door

It's a promise that you cannot break

Was your life worth dying for?

The universe survives on give and take

Decay's the only law

Swan song

a declaration of endlessness

I swear I will not look back as I return into the black

When the veil lifts

how will I know

how will I know?

Will I see God?

As above

so below

Dismantled piece by piece

what's left will not decease

As within

so without

The seasons bring relief

just let me live and die in peace

"You can't hang on to yourself

You don't have to try to not hang on to yourself

It can't be done

and that is salvation

Memento mori: be mindful of death"
