MEMENTO MORI LYRICS

1. Endlessly

Light, light fades to grey
Time, time slips away
Time slips away

Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly
Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly

Life, life found a way
Dreams, they came to stay
They came to stay

Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly
Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly

Free, free from my pain
Flee, flee the mundane
Tear the mundane

Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly
Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly
Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly
Endlessly
Graced by the veils of my mind
Endlessly

2. Lost Words

Lost tales of pain and sorrow
Obscured by time
Unseen the tearshed follow
Rhyme after rhyme

Tales of misery
Words of misery
Lost for evermore
Lost in nevermore

Lost words by sad and hollowed
Voices decline
Untold but still enticing
Thoughts to entwine

Tales of misery
Words of misery
Lost for evermore
Lost forever

Somewhere in blackened eons
Memories will stray
Unheard in timeless silence
Shrouded they'll stay

Tales of misery
Words of misery
Lost for evermore
Lost in nevermore
Tales of misery
Words of misery

3. Crown Of Thorns (Part II, III and IV)

Crown of thorns [8x]

You don't know what you've done
You're heartless
Like a serpent with virtuous eyes
You're a crawling lie
Just a fool's disguise

Crown of thorns [2x]

Perpetuate your lies today
To make my dignity decay
Like a G-point of your hate
I am the scapegoat you create

Crown of throns
I'll never wear your
Crown of thorns

I don't care what you''ve done
Your spineless
Words so blameful are
Shameless false
Tell me what are you when
Your conscience calls?

Crown of thorns [2x]

You don't know where I have been
And you will see what I have seen
You can't feel what I have felt
And you can't go where I have dwelt

Crown of thorns
I'll never wear you
Crown of thorns

4. La Dance Macabre

[instrumental]

5. Morpheus (My Deadly Friend)

Oh God, I wish the morning came
I still hear them
They're singing in the dark
Creation infernal, unholy overture

In the shadows of my attic
Morpheus, my deadly friend
I'm begging thee, please leave me be

Oh God, I wish the morning came
I still hear them
The twisted shapes I dread
Consealed yet so present

In timeless hours drowned in
Fear for the sandman
I'm awaiting in the dark
I'm giggling and laughing
Libretto of the damned

In the shadows of my attic
Morpheus, my deadly friend
I'm begging thee, please leave me be
Dark shadows

Oh God, I wish the morning came
I still hear them
>From every angle burning eyes
Godless hatred
A gathering, grotesque

In the shadows of my attic
Morpheus, my deadly friend
I'm begging thee, please leave me be

Beyond my mind, a frightful kind
Giggling, squirming, twisting, turning
I'm begging thee, please leave me be

In the shadows [5x]

6. The Loser's Trail

Life's a painful stride
Shameful tears I'll hide
Step by step a limping gait
Mile after mile a faithless state

Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon

I'm a wayward child
Pure but yet defiled
Day by day a friendless age
Yea rafter year an ageless race

Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon

Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon
Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon

7. Prelude

[instrumental]

8. The Beggar's Waltz

A simple boy of common strain
A low-bred without class
Soil his name and apir at him
Just launch and turn away
A little boy who's lost his pride
A little boy who's dignity died

No fairy tales can cheer him up
As life just fed him lies
No summer sun can bring him warmth
Nor light to wilted eyes
He is a puppet upon a string
He will dance if you will sing

Painful yearning
In the beggar's waltz
Relentless turning
In the beggar's waltz
Painful yearning
In the beggar's waltz
Relentless turning
In the beggar's waltz
