Momento Mori by Michael Mcguire
Momento Mori lyrics
MOMENTO MORI
� Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
As I watch her sweet limbs unwind with only a hint of the bone
underneath, all things seem to live in her being; eternally bound heaven
and earth, I wonder how far away would you have to go to already be
there, it�s easy to forget that every breath she takes is as light as air.
Staring into the sleepy face of the darkness I am a sea unknown, and
feelings are just the wounds of the sweeping second hand of the callous
clock of doom, but I marvel the structure of her careless deliverance, and
the way the gravity sustains the rebellion of the orbits ambivalence.
I am the sensuous device of her throttled lust for vanity�s consummation
of dust, swept up in the overture of a Beethoven sky of storm, so this
pearl of a moment is thrown back to the jaws of time; a worthless token
of eternity, the infant cry; a battle call in this revolution of modernity.
And I see the dictionary of the sermon in the eyes of her memory, and the
future is a kind of blindness with a cure for a cause, looking to the inertia
of her beauty; even time almighty seems helpless to act upon, yet my eyes
fix the tribute of ghost and flesh and fabric one day gone.
