Memento Mori
Kamelot feat. Shagrath & Mari Youngblood Lyrics

Who wants to separate The world we know from our beliefs And who sees only black and white Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Who has the desire to create a distinction between reality and our beliefs? Who only perceives extremes and cannot perceive gray areas? Who can differentiate loss from sacrifice?

Some day we may come to peace With the world within ourselves And I will await you Until I close my eyes Close my eyes close my eyes
One day we may find inner peace within ourselves, and I will be waiting for you until the time I die, I'll wait for that moment, closing my eyes.

When your time has come You know you'll be lonely once again And the final winter comes to us all Life is treacherous But you're not the only who must pretend
When your time to die comes, you know that you'll be alone again. The end will come (just like winter comes to everyone), life is precarious but you're not the only one pretending about something.

We're second in time We're the last in the line Of the prey that walks the earth Good and evil combined
We're not the first nor the last in time, and we are the last ones in the line of every being on earth. We have both good and evil within us.

I am the god in my own history The master of the game I may believe if she would come to me And whisper out my name
I am the ultimate authority in my own history, I'm the one who guides everything. I could believe in anything if just she came to me and whispered my name.

Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone If life has ever been Sometimes I wonder how belief alone Can cut me free from sin
Sometimes I contemplate where the wind has vanished, if life ever really existed. I also think about how just belief can free me from all sins.

When you close your eyes Mementos of summer retrieves your mind Like a drizzle after noon cleans the air When the winter blows You're glad you remember you really tried
When you close your eyes, memories of summer come back to you like a refreshing rain in the afternoon, and when winter winds start blowing, you will be grateful for remembering how much you really tried.

And it comes to an end Even winter... like fall And we all have our beliefs Pray for mercy for all Mercy for all Pray for mercy for all
Everything must come to an end, even winter will eventually end like fall. We all have our beliefs, and we should pray for mercy towards everyone.

I am a man without a mystery The deal is done within I will embrace the coldest winter breeze And pay for every sin
I'm a man that doesn't have any secrets or riddles. Everything has been resolved within myself. I'll embrace the coldest winter breeze and be accountable for every sin.

Victoria, non paeda Memento mori Una voce... volo, non valeo Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori Memento mori
Victoria, not a toy. Remember that you will die. A voice... I want to fly, but I'm not able to. It's sweet and right to die for one's country. Remember that you will die.

So subservant in your embrace No more denial No run away This is the final My last recall
So submissive in your embrace, no more denying, no escaping, this is the end, my final recollection.

And that's the price for what we learn The more we know the more we yearn 'Cause we're so alone
That's the cost of acquiring knowledge, the more we discover, the more we desire, because we're all alone.

I am a man without a mystery The deal is done within I will embrace the coldest winter breeze The journey can begin I'm still the god in my own history I still believe that she will come to me And whisper on my name
I'm a guy with no secrets, everything has already been resolved within me. I'll welcome the coldest winter breeze, and my journey will start. I still believe myself to be the master of my life's experiences, and I still have faith that she will come to me and utter my name.

Some day we may come to peace And reach beyond behind the lies And I will await you Until I close my eyes Ariel Ariel Ariel Ariel
One day we will find inner peace and move beyond deceit. And I will wait for you until my death. Ariel Ariel Ariel Ariel
