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 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 is the only law As above, so below Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not 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 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 is 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 will not 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"
