Memento Mori

Have I bent? Have I broken?

Missed my chance to leave the words unspoken?

The light fades I hear the waves

A promise that no one could have kept safe

You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen

Scratched out my eyes just to know what it means

I’m coming apart at the seams

Spilling my guts

Show me what it means

Have I loved or have I lost?

Have I paid the price, calculated the cost?

Winter bleeds into night

Will I turn back, will I see what was right?

I won’t be a slave to the things I’ve seen

Open my eyes

Now I know what it means

Pull me together stitch up the seams

Hand in hand

We will learn what it means

I will not fade I will not rest

There's the strength of a world beating in my chest

Pull me back from the edge

There's the strength of a world beating in my chest

I believe in the end we’ll survive

I believe everything's alright

The strength of the waves

The strength of the flames

The world we leave will remember my name
