Mortal Reminder
Tic
Toc
Time is running out
Don't waste it 'til there's nothing left
For you to dream about but death
I know how cruel, how so unfair
This mortal burden be all must bear
Takes its toll upon our minds
As the past stretches further behind
Nowhere to look but straight ahead
Into the void, you're filled with dread
What lies behind that curtain's veil?
We won't know 'til our skin turns pale
You'll just rot in the ground I'm sure
To hell with gods and souls and lore
Decay until you are no more
Remain interred forevermore
