Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world Songtext
von Chonny Jash

One day, you′ll look up at the ceiling above
If you're lucky, you′ll be surrounded by the ones that you love
When the lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by
One day, you're going to die

One day, you'll sleep, and you′ll never wake again
Heaven, Hell, Nirvana, nothing
No one knows how it ends
Rest in peace, or pieces that won′t even align
One day, you're going to die

Oh, you can read your horoscopes
Your palms and tarot cards
But either way, your destination ain′t very far
You could drown, or choke, or burn
Or be hit by a car
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But something will eventually


One day, you′ll look back at the life that you led
No more future left to fear that you have
The past to regret
But your worries will be over if you truly realize
One day, you're going to die
Take it away, hand!

In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space
A billion amounts to nothing in infinity′s face
At most, a couple generations will remember the ways
In which your life never mattered
So who cares if it's a waste?

One day, you'll be not even a faint memory
No, at most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree
Your legacy′s not yours to see
Nor is your eulogy
And you′ll never know what it all means

But at least you'll be at peace before you sleep
If you just keep this in mind
That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
So whether it′s cancer, murder or suicide


One day, you're going to die
No need to fear, ′cause when it's
Here, you won′t be alive
Try not to think about it
One day, you're going to die
And there's probably nothing after
One day, you′re going to die

So if you only have one chance
You ought to try your best to live as you′d like
One day, you're going to die
