(Memento Mori)

I've seen the ferryman
He was so terrible and beautiful
In his boat are the dangers that leave us

They were not poor and not rich
And their eyes so pale
They had nothing that is useful in the realm of the dead

And that's why we live here (and that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, until death sharpens the knives
Yes, that's why we live here (that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, because you take nothing with you to the grave
Except for your coffin!

(Memento Mori)

I've felt the stench of the plague
Touched the cold earth
But in passing, life seduced me anew

I've loved and lost
But I rose again
I swore to myself the naked fist against the sky

And that's why we live here (and that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, until death sharpens the knives
Yes, that's why we live here (that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, because you take nothing with you to the grave
Except for your coffin!

That's why we live here
That's why we live now
Memento Mori, until death sharpens the knives
Yes, that's why we live here (that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, because you take nothing with you to the grave
Except for your coffin!

Memento Mori, until death sharpens the knives
Yes, that's why we live here (that's why we live here)
That's why we live now (that's why we live now)
Memento Mori, because you take nothing with you to the grave
Except for your coffin!
