Memento Mori

Lyrics

[Intro: Roy Khan] Who wants to separate The world we know from our beliefs And who sees only black and white Distinguish 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 [Verse 1: Roy Khan] 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 We're a second in time [Pre-Chorus 1: Roy Khan] We're the last in the line Of the prey that walks the earth Good and evil combined [Chorus: Roy Khan] 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 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 [Verse 2: Roy Khan] When you close your eyes mementos of summer Retrieves your mind Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air When the winter blows you're glad you remember You really tried and it comes to an end [Pre-Chorus 2: Roy Khan] Even winter... life fall And we all have our beliefs Pray for mercy for all Mercy for all Pray for mercy for all [Chorus: Roy Khan] I am a man without a mystery The deal is done within I will embrace the coldest winter breeze And pay for every sin [Interlude: Shagrath, Mari Youngblood, Mari Youngblood & Shagrath] Una voce... (Victoria) Volo, non valeo (Non praeda) Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori Memento mori [Bridge: Roy Khan] So subservient in your embrace No more denial No run away This is the final My last recall And that's the price for what we learn The more we know the more we yearn Cause we're so alone [Final Chorus: Roy Khan] 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 out my name [Outro: Roy Khan, Mari Youngblood] Some day we may come to peace And reach beyond behind the lies And I will await you until I close my eyes Close my eyes, close my eyes Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, Ariel...
