Haken - In Memoriam lyrics
[Haken - In Memoriam lyrics]
Take a step, put one foot in the grave
Catch a breath, submerged in holy water
Watch a moving scene of former days
Shed a tear as memory starts to falter
Familiar faces try to hide the pain
Medicate to alleviate the pressure
Make amends with the ones I used to hate
Feel the agony give way to pleasure
Tearing down the walls of eternity
All in my loving memory
Final scene humility
I succumb to universal law
Another system's energy disperses
Mother nature red in tooth and claw
It's the game that everybody loses
Show your cards and accept
What you've been dealt
Guardian or harbinger of sorrow?
Pour a drink
Raise a glass and toast to health
Is the truth too hard for us to swallow?
Tearing down the walls of eternity
All in my loving memory
Master of creation lead us from temptation
Father of invention
Please guide my ascension
So much left unspoken
Life leaving heartbroken
A sense of acceptance one final repentance
Read these words upon my stone
(Watch a moving scene of former days
Medicate to alleviate the pain)
In piam memoriam
(Make amends to the ones I used
To hate take a step
Put one foot in the grave)
Catch a breath, submerged in holy water
Watch a moving scene of former days
Shed a tear as memory starts to falter
Familiar faces try to hide the pain
Medicate to alleviate the pressure
Make amends with the ones I used to hate
Feel the agony give way to pleasure
Tearing down the walls of eternity
All in my loving memory
Final scene humility
I succumb to universal law
Another system's energy disperses
Mother nature red in tooth and claw
It's the game that everybody loses
Show your cards and accept
What you've been dealt
Guardian or harbinger of sorrow?
Pour a drink
Raise a glass and toast to health
Is the truth too hard for us to swallow?
Tearing down the walls of eternity
All in my loving memory
Master of creation lead us from temptation
Father of invention
Please guide my ascension
So much left unspoken
Life leaving heartbroken
A sense of acceptance one final repentance
Read these words upon my stone
(Watch a moving scene of former days
Medicate to alleviate the pain)
In piam memoriam
(Make amends to the ones I used
To hate take a step
Put one foot in the grave)
