Will Wood - Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world lyrics
[Will Wood - Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world lyrics]
One day you'll look up at the ceiling above
If you’re lucky you'll be surrounded by the
Ones that you love, when
The lights in your eyes fade
And life flashes by
One day you're going to die
One day you’ll sleep and
You'll never wake again
Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing
No one knows how it ends
Rest in peace or pieces and
Won't even know why
One day you're going to die
Read your horoscopes
Your palms and tarot cards
But either way you destination ain't very far
You could drown, or choke, or burn
Or be hit by a car
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But something will eventually
One day you'll look back at
The life that you lead
No more future left to fear that
You'll have the past to regret
But your worries will be over
If you truly realize
One day you’re going to die
Take it away, hands
In the fabric of time and
In the vastness of space
A billion amounts to nothing
In infinity’s face
At most a couple generations
Will remember the
Ways in which your life never mattered
So who cares if it's a waste?
Well, one day you’ll be not
Even a faint memory
No, at most a ghost or falling
Leaf from your family tree
Your legacy's not yours to see
Nor is your eulogy
And you'll never know what it all means
But you'll be at peace before you sleep
If you just keep this in mind:
That everything and everyone goes with
The passage of time
So whether it’s cancer, murder, or suicide
One day you're going to die
No need to fear 'cause when it's
Here you won't be alive
Try not to think about it
One day you're doing to die
And there's probably nothing after
One day you're going to die
So if you only have one chance you oughta
Try your best to live as you like
One day you're going to die
If you’re lucky you'll be surrounded by the
Ones that you love, when
The lights in your eyes fade
And life flashes by
One day you're going to die
One day you’ll sleep and
You'll never wake again
Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing
No one knows how it ends
Rest in peace or pieces and
Won't even know why
One day you're going to die
Read your horoscopes
Your palms and tarot cards
But either way you destination ain't very far
You could drown, or choke, or burn
Or be hit by a car
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But something will eventually
One day you'll look back at
The life that you lead
No more future left to fear that
You'll have the past to regret
But your worries will be over
If you truly realize
One day you’re going to die
Take it away, hands
In the fabric of time and
In the vastness of space
A billion amounts to nothing
