Memento Mori (144 Vultures)

[Verse 1]

144 vultures fly above my head,

Saying, “Memento mori one day you'll be dead,”

Dead flesh, I saw ‘em pickin’ at it with their beaks,

But life ain’t just flesh, 

So dyin’ ain't weak

 

[Verse 2]

144 vultures fly above my head 

Saying, “Memento mori you’ll soon be dead,

Your presence is limitless, 

But your flesh is not,

So, the longer you make your present last

The slower your body and mind may rot”

 

[Chorus]

Remember your death 

Not so you'll fear the time 

Time isn't running

Just running your mind

You've never run in of or out of time, 

Time isn't running, 

Just running your mind

 

[Verse 3]

144 vultures circle the horned capitalist man 

Saying, “Don’t give him your time,

But lend him your empty hand,

A hand full of nothing is where creation awaits, 

But give emptiness to that man 

It gives them more room to see his hate” 

 

[Chorus]

Remember your death 

Not so you'll be or make more 

See the more will be nothing soon

So, the nothing you should explore 

With those eyes, those eyes 

Can they hear like they see?

Hear, one day those eyes will never be 

 

[Bridge]

144 vultures, 

Fly above my head 

Saying, “Memento mori, 

One day you’ll be dead.”

 

[Outro]

144 vultures, fly above my head,

144 vultures, fly above my head
