Lyrics
MEMENTO MORI
[INTRO – TICKING CLOCK]
Tick…
Tick…
Tick…
Tick…
---
[VERSE 1 – MALE]
A ticking started underneath the floor,
A sound I had never heard before.
I tore the boards and found a clock below,
No mark, no trace of where it came from, no clue.
Its silver hands were moving on their own,
A cryptic message etched beneath the glass.
I smiled at first, convinced it was a game,
Until its hands revealed my final day.
---
[VERSE 2 – FEMALE]
You ran through streets as though the world could hide
The single truth you carried deep inside.
You changed your route, you crossed from town to town,
But every road kept leading back around.
You tried to bury what the clock had said,
You tried to drown the thought inside your head.
Yet every second carved another scar,
Reminding you how close the ending was.
---
[CHORUS – BOTH]
Memento Mori — no matter how you run
Every borrowed second brings the final sum
Memento Mori — before the last page turns
Live like a weapon till the whole world burns
---
[GUITAR SOLO I – MALE LEAD]
---
[VERSE 3 – MALE / FEMALE]
MALE:
I saw the faces I had pushed away,
The words I swallowed every passing day.
FEMALE:
You had a thousand roads beneath your feet,
But kept believing there was more to meet.
MALE:
I traded every risk for something safe,
And called surrender wisdom to my face.
FEMALE:
Then why are you still standing at the door?
You know exactly what you're waiting for.
---
[CHORUS – BOTH]
Memento Mori — no matter how you run
Every borrowed second brings the final sum
Memento Mori — before the last page turns
Live like a weapon till the whole world burns
---
[GUITAR SOLO II – DUELING LEADS]
---
[BRIDGE – FEMALE / MALE]
FEMALE:
Put down the clock.
Stop counting what remains.
You cannot bargain with the final page.
MALE:
Then let it come.
I have nothing left to hide.
If this is all I have,
I will decide how it is lived.
---
[BREAKDOWN – BOTH]
TICK!
TICK!
TICK!
No more running!
No more waiting!
No more years thrown away!
MALE:
I will not die a thousand times
Before my final day!
FEMALE:
Take what is yours!
Break through the fear!
Make every second count!
BOTH:
MEMENTO MORI!
---
[GUITAR SOLO III – EPIC / EMOTIONAL FINAL SOLO]
---
[VERSE 4 – BOTH – QUIET, THEN BUILDING]
MALE:
The hands reached twelve. I closed my eyes,
FEMALE:
And heard no judgment, no reply.
MALE:
The final mark arrived without a sound,
FEMALE:
Yet nothing ended when the hands came round.
MALE:
I opened my eyes. The clock had ceased.
FEMALE:
Its silver hands were frozen in release.
MALE:
Then I understood what it had meant—
FEMALE:
The warning was not death.
BOTH:
It was the life we kept postponing
Until there was nothing left to spend.
---
[FINAL CHORUS – BOTH – MASSIVE]
Memento Mori — no matter how you run
Every borrowed second brings the final sum
Memento Mori — before the last page turns
Live like a weapon till the whole world burns
---
[OUTRO – TICKING CLOCK]
Tick…
Tick…
Tick…
Silence.
MEMENTO MORI.
