Momento Mori

Momento Mori 
Remember you must die

We must walk thru the valley of the skulls
You can get there by using the proper tools
Everlasting life is for the fools

Old age can't be defied 
The grim reaper can't be denied
He's waiting on the other side 
Knock on the door and he will reply
Sometimes it up to you to decide

Skin will wrinkle, hair will turn gray
Better pray
We are not here to stay

We will need a walker and a beta blocker 
Hopefully we don't have a heart stopper

Momento Mori
Remember you must die

Bones will become fragile and break with ease
Trying to avoid getting a disease
Just waiting for a permanent release

From this painful existence that we call life
Have had a heart attack not once but twice

We are just waiting to rot in the ground
Nothing but dirt that's all around
Silence will be that horrific sound

Momento Mori
Remember you must die
In the coffin we must lie
No need to cry
We need to be set free in able to fly!
