Kamelot - Memento Mori Lyrics

Complimentary "Memento Mori" Ringtone

Who wants to separate 
The world we know from our beliefs 
And who sees only black and white 
Distinguish loss from sacrifice 
Some day we may come to peace 
With the world within ourselves 
And I will await you 
Until I close my eyes 

When your time has come 
You know you'll be lonely once again 
And the final winter comes to us all 
Life is treacherous 
But you're not the only who must pretend 

We're a second in time 
We're the last in the line 
Of the prey that walks the earth 
Good and evil combined 

I am the god in my own history 
The master of the game 
I may believe if she would come to me 
And whisper out my name 
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone 
If life has ever been 
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone 
Can cut me free from sin 

When you close your eyes 
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind 
Like a drizzle after noon cleans the air 
When the winter blows 
You're glad you remember you really tried 

And it comes to an end 
Even winter... like fall 
And we all have our beliefs 
Pray for mercy for all 

I am a man without a mystery 
The deal is done within 
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze 
And pay for every sin 

[Helena] 
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA 
MEMENTO MORI 

[Mephisto] 
UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO 
DULCE ET DECORUM EST 
PRO PATRIA MORI 
MEMENTO MORI 

[Ariel] 
So subservient in your embrace 
No more denial 
No run away 
This is the final 
My last recall 
And that's the price for what we learn 
The more we know the more we yearn 
Cause we're so alone 

I am a man without a mystery 
The deal is done within 
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze 
The journey can begin 
I'm still the god in my own history 
I still believe that she will come to me 
And whisper out my name 

Some day we may come to peace 
And reach beyond behind the lies 
And I will await you 
Until I close my eyes ...
