Memento Mori

from Exhumed

Lyrics

The gravediggers lament
When all heaven sent
Were loaded guns
And lonely ones
For all we know
Just skin and bone
Rags and dreams
Of the world's unseen

When all we are is
Dead in the ground
No one sheds a tear
For the lights can't be found
As you're raising your hands
To the sky as you beg
But your last breath of air
Is all you will get

The gravediggers repent
Their lives all but spent
Staying above the ground
Never making a sound
Their final words
No one ever heard
They toss and they turn
But they'll never learn

After all we are is
Dead in the ground
No one sheds a tear
For the lights can't be found
As you're raising your hands
To the sky as you beg
But your last breath of air
Is all you will get

When all we are is
Dead in the ground
No one sheds a tear
For the lights can't be found
As you're raising your hands
To the sky as you beg
But your last breath of air
Is all you will get

After all
