Memento Mori The Most Important Thing In The World - Will Wood
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
One day you'll
look up at th
e ceiling abov
e
If you're luck
y you'll be su
rrounded by th
e ones that yo
u love
When the light
s in your eyes
fade and life
flashes by
One day you're
going to die
One day you’ll
sleep and you
'll never wake
again
Heaven, hell,
nirvana, nothi
ng, no one kno
ws how it ends
Rest in peace
or pieces and
won't even kno
w why
One day you're
going to die
[Verse 2]
Read your horo
scopes, your p
alms and tarot
cards
Either way you
r destination
ain't very far
You could drow
n, or choke, o
r burn, or be
hit by a car
What doesn't k
ill you makes
you stronger,
but something
will eventuall
y
[Verse 3]
One day you'll
look back at
the life that
you lead
No more future
left to fear
that you'll ha
ve the past to
regret
But your worri
es will be ove
r if you truly
realize
One day you’re
going to die
N.C.
Take it away hands
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
In the fabric
of time, and i
n the vastness
of space
A billion amou
nts to nothing
in infinity’s
face
At most a coup
le generations
will remember
the ways
In which your
life never mat
tered, so who
cares if it's
a waste?
[Verse 5]
Well, one day
you’ll be not
even a faint m
emory
No, at most a
ghost of falli
ng leaves from
your family t
ree
The legacy's n
ot yours to se
e, nor is your
eulogy
And you'll nev
er know what i
t all means
[Outro]
But you'll be
at peace befor
e you sleep if
you just keep
this in mind
That everythin
g and everyone
goes with the
passage of ti
me
So whether it’
s cancer, murd
er, or suicide
One day you're
going to die
No need to fea
r cause when i
t's
Here you won't
be alive
Try not to thi
nk about it
One day you're
going to die
And there's pr
obably nothing
after
One day you're
going to die
So if you only
have one chan
ce you ought t
o try your bes
t to live as y
ou like
One day you're
going to die
[Outro]
