Momento Mori

I was dragged into this world screaming

Pulled by the waves towards the grave

I resist the flow only to suffer

The river of life flows to death

I wistfully gaze back

At the levees and the banks

And the chances not taken

Dragged back

Lost in the tide of entropy

Suffer this curse though unfaulted

Dragged down

Lift my head, it's hard to breathe

To desist succumbs to drowning

Betrayed by ignorance

Have I sealed my fate?

To forever envy those years

Years that were just fucking wasted

Demons defied

I've mastered my own mind

The illusion becomes clear

As the grave starts to appear

No prisoners, compensation or refunds

What's done is done, time is fucking ruthless

I had to lose it just to want it and now I mourn it

Say goodbye to your family and your loved ones

What's done is done, time is fucking ruthless

I had to lose it just to want it and now I mourn it

And still we trade our precious time

To the lowest bidder

Demons defied

I've mastered my own mind

The illusion becomes clear

As the grave starts to appear

Dragged to the welcoming void

To hide from the rising sun

Crushed by the weight of my sins

The conversion has just begun

Rip the stars from the skies

No light will encroach these cowering eyes

In darkness I dwell

To hide from my horror of my hell

Peace, bury me in my own filth

For respite

Demons rejoice as they rip my soul apart

Fragments of me feed the horde

They feast on my sorrow

I was doomed from birth
