Epitaph 06:51
Fire comes to burn it down (Burn it down, you fall to the ground, they suffer) A man is gone without a sound (Another ripple in the river) Look ahead and see the light While it still remains in sight Eyes turn to the sky, still burning bright Restart me, i can't breathe But ill live to see the morning Live up your voice and sing to me Of angels and demons I know all the answers I've seen the new light But my brothers and sisters still mourn on this night I've asked all the questions, seen what they reveal But one things not certain, how can this be real? Eyes up, eyes up Eyes up, eyes up (hey! you gotta keep your) Eyes up, eyes up Go now, you live inside our hearts Solace comes from within One chance to make a dream alive Gravel ground down to dust Go now you live inside my heart Carry you in my wake Reaching to feel the freedom of Eternal life above

Memento Mori 06:13
I watch the leaves fall from my life As every man has known And in the autumn harvest I reap what I have sewn But in my twilight days I seek To see beyond this life The will to live is surely stronger Than deaths accursed scythe But in my twilight days I see a way To see beyond this life Fated to fall, to witness the end No respite from death, no hope to transcend Make peace with the world, meet the other side Remember your death, remember you will die

My days on Earth have past Where will I go? Two paths at my feet Far from life. Can I choose one? Will choose me? One is calling Guiding my soul Looking back on my life It’s difficult to see Where will I go? Above or below The ground cracks under my feet The sky opens up A hand reaches from below One from the clouds
