Memento Mori

“ Now, Mr. Starrick, that's a different story. I'm drowning in directives, all terribly boring. Let's say we work together and bring him down? “

“ What do you get out of all this? “ 

“ The chance to have a little fun with the bravest man in London “  

Show me dreams of me and you, dancing in a pas de deux Fleeting time will break the spell of seven hues Fingers lure me down the stairs, I whisper my silent prayers Never thought before I left it'd be too much to bear

Cold drops on shaking hands, according to plan Take off the rags, transform; with a smile you bring a storm to the heart of the (K)night

Searching for a stranger's silhouette, I knew before we met, it was death Persistently urging, despite my fear surging still, with this blade of sin I must kill Palace beaming with orphaned children, waltzing with vague smiles, deja vu again Engulf all my kindness and hold them within your wings; like a seraph in mortal blood, you sing

Shoe of glass, burning in flames of wrath They crumble into ash, sweet dreams they never last...

Trembling, hiding all my tears, wishing I was never here You glanced at the ticking clock, the time is near I took off my sparkling shoes, ran up to the avenue Traced my fingers down your neck, my plan was to seduce

I kissed the crystal dew; from your eyes it spewed Impulses through my spine; your gaze as it locked with mine, I was blind by your shine

I beg, I plead the gods to freeze time; I could not bring myself to this crime My mind kept on doubting, my right hand kept shouting 'no', after piercing you I must go Scented lightly with traces of gunfire, my goddess revealed the secret she conspired Her saddened eyes gazed to me without blinking twice, as it broke the masquerade of ice

I still could feel somewhere in this room his breath on my skin But it was just a dream I had of him Silver moonlight glowed through the stained glass window panes Veiling your gilded face from pain

Tear away this beautiful dress gown, and toss away your diamonds and crown We looked through the smother, peered into each other's souls, lighting fire blazing bright gold Lonely spirits search for salvation, seared like a songbird flying to the sun Alas, my fair maiden, I'll wipe away your tears; on this stage you slowly disappear

I beg, I plead the gods to freeze time; drowned in your embrace, bodies entwined I'll always remember this flickering ember, when our heartbeats joined together 'Stay, please stay,' I quietly whispered, sweat mingled with blood, everything a blur With your magic spell my body is petrified, like a fairy tale you kissed me as I died

I felt it slowly slipping from my hands Like grains of sand, I could not hold it… Perhaps my dreams weren’t meant to be fulfilled ‘Cause everything I wished for was gone in a moment…

In order to complete the task Of killing them, until the last Is why I was born It’s what I live for The worth of my existence = the worth of your existence? But now is not the time for second guessing!

I’m bound to you by chains we can’t escape Crying for the truth in a hopeless maze The despair we feel is spinning round and round Drowning in ideals that I can’t renounce Pathetic, so helpless just when did my resolve become so useless Oh how ridiculous! What's wrong or right? Who do I protect? Why do I fight when there’s nothing left? But if I dance in the ashes of this fallen justice that has burned to dust… You might as well lay me to rest Along with my regrets

A flowerless world colored in monochrome Where strength alone will keep you breathing I find no pleasure in our lives nor deaths Except the vibrant crimson that paints my weapon

In order to complete the task Of killing them, until the last Is why I was made It’s what I’m craving! Forget my dismal memories And empty days before me Don’t touch me with your dirty hypocrisy!!

My worthless dreams are all so far away Can’t find the meaning in these hellish days The despair we feel is spinning round and round Tangled in ideals that I can’t renounce Forget it - but I kept it and let it consume me every bit by bit It’s all so ludicrous!! Destroy them all, just destroy them all! Yet my heart still doesn’t feel full at all Though if I’m stained with the ashes of this tainted justice that has turned to rust You might as well just play the part And let me take the fall

If everything up to this day Has led us to this single fate Where you and I Must choose who dies now The words that may have meant more The warmth I always longed for Are luxuries that don’t belong in our world

My worthless dreams are all so far away Can’t find the meaning in these hellish days The despair we feel is spinning round and round Drowning in ideals that I can’t renounce Pathetic, so helpless just when did my resolve become so useless It’s all so meaningless… What's wrong or right? Who do I protect? Why do I fight when there’s nothing left? But still I cling to the ashes of This fallen justice that has burned to dust It’s all there is to my existence…

I’m bound to you by chains we can’t escape Now my blade is loose in a blinded rage My thoughts, like thunder, running in a loop And I’m struck by wonder — “what if I could choose?" To break you? Embrace you? No way to forgive but is that all there is? I cannot answer it! So who is it that you want to save? And who is it that you’ll cast away? With trembling hands I grab the crimson stained answer as I vow to end it all today The tainted clouds of our regrets Will lead us to the end

Aah, and so the story ends…

'Cause you play me like a symphony Play me till your fingers bleed I'm your greatest masterpiece You ruin me Later when the curtains drawn And no one's there for you back home Don't cry to me you played me wrong You ruin me

Why did you leave me? All of this? Why have you kissed me?
