Memento Mori
Memento mori
Remember death
Tell Him you are sorry,
eat His bread
or it will become you
and take your flesh…
Drink His wine,
take in His blood,
mix it fine
right with your own
Become like Him
and know yourself,
and memento mori
remember death
Memento mori
remember death
Feel His blood
sink into your skin
Know you are loved
and invite Him in
Kneel before His cross,
His body dead,
Share the loss
of mother dear
See Him rise
from that cross again,
and memento mori
remember death
