MEMENTO MORI LYRICS

1. The Things You See (And The Things You Don't)


[music: Argento, Marcolin, lyrics: Wead]

I bid my last wits a sad goodbye
Sundown is closing in
There are secrets the dreamland keep
More than meets the eye

Eyes deceiving false conceiving
Thoughts misleading fear's exceeding

It is the things you see
And the things you don't
It is the things you hear
And the things you won't

Dancing shadows upon my wall
Nightmares closing in
They have won if I fall asleep
Then I'm surely lost

The walls are bleeding, painful breathing
The night's impending, a fright unending

It is the things you see
And the things you don't
It is the things you hear
And the things you won't

The walls are bleeding, painful breathing
The night's impending, a fright unending

It is the things you see
And the things you don't
It is the things you hear
And the things you won't
The things you see
The things you see
The things you see
The things you see


2. Under My Blackened Sky


[music: Argento, Wead, lyrics: Wead]

Come rain, come shine, no lie of mine

Eternal dark is my shrine
The sun might shine outside but in my heart death hides
I'll take your hand, end your stride
I'll lead you through to the other side

Into a world so old
Into a world so cold
Under a blackened sky
This is a world foretold
I belong here

Under my blackened sky there is no sun in sight
Under my blackened sky you belong here

Come shine, come rain, true words of mine

Let's go my friend, please follow
When you're out of this world, you're way beyond sorrow
Your time in life has passed and gone
The race you led it is all but won

Into a world so old
Into a world so cold
Under a blackened sky
This is a world foretold
We belong here

Under my blackened sky grasp for the final breath
Under my blackened sky you become death

Under my blackened sky [5x]


3. One Sign Too Many


[music: Wead, Marcolin, lyrics: Wead]

Silent storm clouds
Slow they came, in God's name
Bold and blinded
We're the same, still no shame

Is this our fall from grace?
Is this our final trace?
Is this the end of time?
In this eleventh chime

One sign too many [2x]

The crown of nature
Pagan fools, pagan rules
A lost creation
Seals the womb, seals the tomb

Is this our fall from grace?
Is this our final trace?
Is this the end of time?
In this eleventh chime
Are we the last in line
To read the clearest sign


4. Burned By Light


[music and lyrics: Wead]

The fallen and graceless, the twisted and odd
Outcasts from heaven, abandoned by God

Wakeless in daylight, evoked by the night
When sneaking in shadows, they're well out of sight

Wayward angels
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed

Creeping and crawling, the shapeless and vague
What's unseen by mankind still feared like the plague
Their spirits are strong and your flesh is so weak
Who dares to get close when their find is their keep

Wayward angels
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed

Keep all of your lights lit when hundled in fear
The ancient and timeless, abstracted still near

If silence at twillight might lead you astray
When fooled by it's stillness you won't get away

Wayward angels
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed
Burned by light, blessed by night
Nocturnal seed, unholy breed


5. Memento Mori


[music and lyrics: Marcolin]

Living your life in such a rush
You have so much to do, time is not enough
Never a thought about that day
When you'll be dead and gone and passed away

Memento mori, remember death
Memento mori, your final breath
Life is not forever, never forget
Memento mori, eternal rest

You feel afraid to face the end
It's much easier to just pretend
That you will live forever more
But no one does and that's for sure

Working so hard to reach your dreams
Feeling invinsible or so it seems
You keep on bying things you need
No need for anything to rest in peace

Memento mori, remember death
Memento mori, your final breath
Life is not forever, never forget
Memento mori, eternal rest

The day you die it's all too late
No second chance to change your fate
Enjoy the time while you're alive
Or you will find life passed you by


6. I Prayed


[music: Wead, Marcolin, lyrics: Marcolin]

My father was undergoing surgery
His heart had failed him so terribly
The operation was very dangerous
I felt so helpless I thought of God

I prayed my father would not die
I prayed that he would be just fine
I prayed to God to see him through
I prayed and I believed in You

When I was stuck by harsh reality
It opened up my eyes so I could see
While I was sitting there in the waiting room
There was only one thing I could do

I prayed my father would not die
I prayed that he would be just fine
I prayed to God to see him through
I prayed and I believed in You

Please God, forgive my sins
Please let my father live
Please God, hear my prayers

I prayed and he did not die
I prayed and now he is just fine
I prayed and God saw him through
I prayed and I believe in You


7. Animal Magnetism


[music: Rudolf Schenker, lyrics: Klaus Meine]

[Scorpions cover]

You get me loose
I want ya, that's all I do
You leave me loose
I want ya, that's all I do

Make love to me right now
Love me till I'm down

You make me groove
I want ya, that's all I do
You let me groove
I want ya, that's all I do

Make love to me right now
Love me till I'm down

Who are you?
Your magic is strange and new
Who are you?
I want ya, that's all I do

Make love to me right now
Love me till I'm down

Make love to me right now
Love me till I'm down


8. Out Of Darkness


[music: Argento, Wead, Marcolin, lyrics: Wead]

From my black tongue, words of scorn
Out of darkness, my ways were born

I can still fear their presence
The thoughts within my mind
Frail dreams of wayward essence
A deal that's yet unsigned
So mean, unclean and godless
The roots I'm scared to find
Their needs are often heartless
Like truth that's long declined

Strange and vain are the feelings
As my mind can flow free
These unpleasant revealings
Can they really be me?

From my black tongue, words of scorn
Out of darkness, my ways were born

My thoughts will pull me under
Life spinning round and round
Where will it stop, I wonder
No trace of solid ground
Like seconds into hours
My days are passing by
I'll climb an endless tower
As life's an endless lie

Strange and vain are the feelings
As my mind can flow free
These unpleasant revealings
Can they really be me?
