Memento Mori

What would you say if you had six words to sum up your life on a stone

The underworld waits on the silver screen, pulls us into the world we don't see

Sing to me the same old song, while the birds hum along in the dark

You sold your soul to a rock and roll band, you turned on the jukebox and died in their hands

I was blind to see the meaning of life

I am a mirror of what's in my mind

I was blind to the light, but now I find

I'm blind to the future I left behind

Look out your window and I'll be gone, don't be deceived by the night

The stars aren't laying a trail back home, only further and further away

I was blind to see the meaning of life

I am a mirror of what's in my mind

I was blind to the light, but now I find

I'm blind to the future I left behind

I will keep the promise of you on my lips

Oh, how I wish I could hold you now

We can stand beneath the moonlight reaching for the sea

Till the winter comes and the sun won't shine for me

I was blind to see the meaning of life

I am a mirror of what's in my mind

I was blind to the light, but now I find

I'm blind to the future I left behind
