Lyrics
Make me this promise
Only this once
Grant me my peace
Let me lie in the mud
Enshroud me in silence
Solitude calls me
I smell my grave
Inside my veins
I feel my blood frozen
For me, it's too late
Consign me to earth
I'm already dust
My spirit departed
These ashes remain
Inhume me, you must
My life has long left me
There's nothing to take
No sin I've committed
No trespass forgiven
There's nothing at stake
Bury me
Bury me deep
Let me decay
Beneath the weeds
The creatures below us
The crows in the sky
Are all very hungry
They're longing to meet me
And feast on my eyes
The forest is calling
It knows I am chained
The wind in the leaves
Will beg me forever
To bathe in the rain
Lay me to rot
Leave me to ruin
Cover my crypt
In forget-me-nots
But God
Break this illusion
Bury me
Bury me deep
Let me decay
Beneath the weeds
Bury me
Bury me deep
Let me decay
Let me decay
Beneath the weeds
If this is a dream
Then soon I will wake
If this is the end
Then so ends my story
Momento Mori
Please excuse all the blood
I wanted to be found in the woods
What will remain of this life ever forfeit?
If this is a dream
Then soon I will wake
If this is the end
Then so ends my story
Momento Mori
