Memento Mori Lyrics


Ariel:

Who wants to separate

the world we know from our beliefs?

And who sees only black and white,

distinguish loss from sacrifice?

Some day we may come to peace

with the world within ourselves.

And I will await you

until I close my eyes.

When your time has come you know

you'll be lonely once again.

And the final winter

comes to us all.

Life is treacherous,

but you're not the only

who must pretend.

We're a second in time,

we're the last in the line

of the prey that walks the earth.

Good and evil combined!

I am the God in my own history,

the master of the game.

I may believe if she would come to me,

and whisper out my name.

Sometimes I wonder

where the wind has gone,

if life has ever been.

Sometimes I wonder

how belief alone

can cut me free from sin.



When you close your eyes,

mementos of summer

retrieves your mind

like a drizzle afternoon

cleans the air.

When the winter blows

you're glad you remember,

you really tried.

And it comes to an end,

even winter, life fall.

And we all have our beliefs,

pray for mercy for all.

Mercy for all...

Pray for mercy for all!

I am a man without a mystery,

the deal is done within.

I will embrace the coldest winter breeze

and pay for every sin.

Helena:

Victoria non praeda,

memento mori.

Mephisto:

Una voce...

Volo non valeo,

dulce et decorum est.

Pro patria mori,

memento mori.

Ariel:

So subservient in your embrace.

No more denial, no run away.

This is the final, my last recall.

And that's the price

for what we learn.

The more we know,

the more we yearn.

Because we're so alone!

I am a man without a mystery,

the deal is done within.

I will embrace the coldest winter breeze,

the journey can begin.

I'm still the God in my own history.

I still believe that she will come to me,

and whisper out my name.

Some day we will come to peace

and reach beyond behind the lies.

And I will await you

until I close my eyes.

Helena:

Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, Ariel...
