[Architects - Memento Mori lyrics]
Dismantled piece by piece
What's left will not decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief
Let me live and die in peace
Let me live and die in peace
Let me live and die in peace
Let me live and die in peace
Let me live and die in peace
I will be consumed, returned into the earth
Only passing through
Nothing left to hold on to
Like the thaw against the snow
Into the undertow
Cut the chord and cast me out
And cast me out
It's a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Death is an open door
It's a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Decay's the only law
As above, so below
Dismantled piece by piece
What's left cannot decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief
Just let me live and die in peace
"Change, and everything is change
Nothing can be held on to
To the degree that you go with a stream
You see, you are still
You are flowing with it
But to the degree you resist the stream
Then you notice
That the current is rushing past
You and fighting you
So swim with it, go with it
And you're there, you're at rest"
It'll wear you down through skin and bone
Through skin and bone
It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own
Has a mind of it's own
It'll wear you down through skin and bone
Through skin and bone
It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own
Has a mind of it's own
When my heart skips two beats
I am hidden deep, fast asleep
The sea will part where oceans meet
Finally complete
It's a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Death is an open door
It's a promise that you cannot break
Was your life worth dying for?
The universe survives on give and take
Decay's the only law
Swan song, a declaration of endlessness
I swear I will not look back
As I return into the black
When the veil lifts, how will I know
How will I know? Will I see God?
As above, so below
Dismantled piece by piece
What's left cannot decease
As within, so without
The seasons bring relief
Just let me live and die in peace
"You can't hang on to yourself
You don't have to try not
To hang on to yourself
It can't be done, and that is salvation
Memento Mori, be mindful of death"
