Memento Mori

As above, so below 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 cord 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 onto
To the degree that you go with a stream
You see, you are still, you're 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 its own has a mind of its own

It'll wear you down through skin
And bone through skin and bone
It's as if my mind has a mind of its own has a mind of its 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 onto yourself
You don't have to try not to hang onto yourself
It can't be done and that is Salvation
Memento Mori, be mindful of death
