Memento Mori

The curtains fall upon the stage of life
A masquerade of joy and endless strife
We dance with shadows in the pale moonlight
Avoiding the coming of the endless night
Spinning around in a velvet room
Waiting for the verdict of the tomb

The clock is ticking on the wall
Get ready for the final fall

Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas
We are the dancers in the hall of glass
Watching the seconds and the hours pass
Rich or poor, the end is the same
A flickering candle in the wind and rain

There is no bargain you can make
There is no soul he will not take
Bow down before the scythe
Pay the ultimate tithe

Requiem aeternam
Dona eis domine
Look into the abyss

Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas
We are the dancers in the hall of glass
Embrace the silence, embrace the end
Death is the only faithful friend

Time, is, up
