I saw the ferryman
He was so horrible and beautiful
The ones who left us have sailed in his barge
They were neither poor nor rich
And their eyes, so bleak
They had nothing that's of use in the realm of the dead
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
Memento Mori
I have felt the fetor
I have touched the cold earth
But in its passing, life has seduced me anew
I loved and I lost
But I rose again
With my naked fist to the sky I have sworn to myself
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
