Memento In Tenebris

[Verse 1] Grey rain on the chapel glass Candles drown in their own wax I count the cracks in the altar stone Name each one like a friend long gone [Chorus] Memento mori Under my tongue Cold little prayer I never belonged Dies irae in my lungs I breathe it in I breathe it in Memento mori Carved in my skin Every small scar says “you will end” Hold me Grave of everything Till I give in Till I give in [Verse 2] Clock hands shake like they’re afraid Time limps Dragging a rusted chain I drink the dark from an empty glass Waiting for night that finally lasts [Bridge] [Murky choir enters Strings tremble] Memento mori In corde meo Sub pelle ardet Silentium Dei [Chorus] Memento mori Under my tongue Cold little prayer I never belonged Dies irae in my lungs I breathe it in I breathe it in Memento mori Carved in my skin Every small scar says “you will end” Hold me Grave of everything Till I give in Till I give in [Outro] [String orchestra alone Fading] If I must stay Let me remember Every breath is already embers Memento mori One last time Then only dirt And quiet And lime
