Memento Mori

Remember you will die.

 

The vigour of mortis

Corpses contorted

Lifetimes distorted

While war has its way

 

Marching like cattle

Sent forth into battle

Hear the death rattle

The ending of days

 

Kings place their Aces

Pawns move to places

Where Knights joust at races

The terror at play

 

The times are a changing

False freedom’s are fading

Those home fires raging

The whole world will pay
